re: University of Mississippi not renewing Dan Jones' contract

Mustaches mustache!

Bologna*

Tig barksdale? He must've sold a lot of weed to donate 30 mil

but please....go on ahead and give your few dollar donations to the school thinking you're doing anything beneficial and totally not funding a handful of people treating our school like a goddamnted country club like they did for about 30 years.

YHU HUSH YUR MOUTH YA GOSH DANG HIPPIE LIBERAL!!! DEMS MY TRADISHUNS

The funny thing is that...when the FDWL happened....a few idiots on here kept calling me a bleeding liberal and a couple of posters on here laughed like hell and would tell the others that I was one of their most conservative friends.



And that is why I hate current politics. If you don't 100% believe what a right-wing extremest believes....you're a commie liberal. God forbid that you're actually a conservative that actually lives in the real world and not Mantachie, MS.

This thread is so stupid.... Jones was not fired because of traditions, Dixie, the flag or a chant. He was fired because he was resisting power being taken away from Ole Miss polically....... You guys are worried about crap that MEANS NOTHING while Ole Miss is being polically raped!

Phil Bryant/IHL has every intention of replacing him with someone that will not fight for the best interest of Ole Miss. You guys need to lay your flags down and start asking the right questions about what all this means.... Know this....Ole Miss is now in a weaker position polically.

Yeah I can't figure why it keeps getting said that he took the name Ole Miss away.

poliTICALly?

And I am saying with all due respect, who decides for the majority? I won't tell you how to think, and you can't tell me how to think.

Perception is between bullshite and reality in the dictionary, and most folks DECIDE for themselves which end of the spectrum theirs is!
WHO has the say? ALL supporters, most especially alumni and students, not just a select few who declare themselves worthy, have the right to decide. The Chancellor is not an appointed God of the University with all power and glory.

I think there are a lot of Ole Miss folks who are tired of being told what values and traditions they can hold. I think they have spoken. We'll have to wait and see. It's not likely to be a quick resolve.

DITTO!

FDOM is correct in this. I now think ole miss is in a worse state because of Dan being let go. Dan fought for Ole Miss and didn't give in to the folks in Jackson. This is why he was let go. Now they will use the good ole boy system to put somebody in there who will give in to whatever they say

Same. I am fairly conservative but lean more towards the middle and you'd think I had voted for Obama twice with the way some of my family reacts to my views.

ETA: The big one is allowing the government to legalize gay marriage. The government has nothing to do with my faith at all. It's completely separate but so many people have a problem separating the two. Just because the government allows gay marriage doesn't mean that the church is forced to. They don't take into account that people don't believe the same as us. Do I wish they did? Absolutely. Life would be much easier. People complain about how Obama is attacking Christianity and oppressing them because they don't hold the same beliefs as him but then they want to turn around and put Christian prayer back into schools and outlaw gay marriage among other things. They don't see how that's oppressive
