This is really a shame. Ole Miss alumni are mailing their diplomas back in protest of the new mascot.
I was also told today that five members of The Vaught Society have severed ties. (One must make a minimum commitment of $350,000 to Ole Miss athletics be a member)
There is also talk of erecting a Colonel Reb statue in Oxford. This might not be a bad idea.
The Colonel could be displayed and remembered in a historical context this way.

Especially when it's a school the size of OM.
I hope this doesn't get a lot of traction as we simply cannot afford it.
I very well remember the years when we sold 16,000 season tickets.

I honestly do hope this brings some kind of change for y'all. I love making fun of you, but part of me actually feels bad for you. I'd be pretty mad if they pulled this crap on us or tried to put Toonces on our helmets or something.

Ole Miss is already in a deep hole with H.Nutt as HC. This will dig the hole even deeper. Sorry to hear about all this. It'll blow over in..oh, about 4 or 5 years.

Good to see people fighting it.
But in reality, hearing Ole Miss referred to as the Black Bears isn't all that bad. I think eventually y'all will probably make the switch totally.
Friendly Liquor on College Avenue has "Beat The Rebel Black Bears!" on its sign this week.
I think its meant to be derisive, but I think Bears isn't a bad mascot.

Why on earth would anyone waste $350,000 on Ole Miss athletics? Why not just flush the money down the toilet? The return on investments are virtually equal.

That's a very stupid and childish comment. Why don't you take your flames to another board.

I think that is a great idea. Maybe the NAACP and Al Sharpton can come down to. also, don't leave out the Kluxers that protested last year, I think they will fit right in.
Ole Miss needs to accept the bear and move on so this doesn't become a bigger issue than it really is. The need to just let the colonel go away.

The chick who sent this e-mail either isn't an alumni or hasn't donated in a long time according to some guys who went through the books over at RCR.
People said they'd cut ties when we got rid of the confederate flags, people said they'd cut ties when they got rid of Col. Reb the first time.
People said they'd cut ties when we got rid of FDWL.
So far, none of that has really hurt us.
If these people don't love Ole Miss then, I would prefer they GTFO.

It won't be there long.
I have plenty of friends who are willing to take care of that.

Wishful thinking on your part, seeing as tho LSU can't beat him lately...
