re: Why did Ole Miss cave into relinquishing one of the all time great College logo’s/mascots?

I was a student when that happened. The tradition existed before I enrolled. Why do we catch the blame for continuing a tradition we didn't start? Why is it entirely our fault? We didn't come up with it or make it popular? It was popular when we got on campus. Furthermore, when you threaten college kids at a known party school to attempt to coerce them from doing something, what do you think they're going to do? Comply? lolz

I was a student from mid to late 90s and whenever From Dixie with Love was played TSWRA was not part of the ending. That’s something that got started after I left. I heard it at the UGA and the epic letdown 2003 LSU game. I knew it was bad a just thought these damn idiot wannabes. The song may have eventually gone away anyway like Col. Reb but chanting that expedited it.
