The idea of people from Texas and Louisiana criticizing another state for being racist is pretty wild. You may not be exactly where Mississippi resides on the list of unenlightened places to live, but you're by God in the same general area.


Listen up gump, don't ever compare your little backwater states to TEXAS.

And so is Louisiana. Texas is no different, except they spread their hate out to include Latinos as well.

Take out the big cities, and it's all the same.

You get testy when someone challenges your delusion?

When we stop hearing about hate crimes and hate groups out of Texas, then I'll be interested in hearing how you're different. Go look up any meaningful statistic, and you're a lot close to Mississippi than Minnesota every time.

From what I understand there is a William Faulkner relation to the bear somehow...now Faulkner was a great American writer, but poetry has no honest place in athletics and not trying to be a dick I think it sucks they took yalls mascot. Nothing is sacred anymore

Are there bears in Mississippi? I honestly don't know....


Yes, there are bears in Mississippi, but they are properly known as "Louisiana black bears." Sort of ironic, no?

Yeah you're exactly right...Louisiana and another one called American Black Bear...never seen a bear in Louisiana personally but weird that they are here...the bear would have been my vote out of the three sh*tty choices they gave students

This is what you get when you have a school run by pc lawyers. crooked recruiting and a very odd mix of rebel and black bear.

why all the cries about PC? Back when Ole Miss allowed the confederate flag and plantation owner mascot they lost in-state talent..Black athletes dont wana play for a school associated with those.


A change had to be made to get better athletes. Not a hard concept to grasp.
