Right. All of those alumni that are going to be donating because we have a new mascot. I anxiously await my next newsletter from the University of Mississippi Foundation confirming this claim.
You're the one that claims the reason we didn't have a PBK chapter was because of the rebel flag, right?
It's not just alumni, numbnuts. It's foundations and corporations, such as FedEx (built the new academic support building), Toyota (gave some money for the new engineering thing that's being built by the observatory), the Bancroft Fund (Croft Institute), Netscape (Honors College), et cetera.
And if you don't wanna believe the last part then fine, shove your fat fricking head deep in the sand until it covers your fat fricking neck all the way to your collarbones for all I care, because it's the Goddamn truth.
ETA: I mean, do you think it's just some magnificient coincidence that the things we brag about and use to maintain our flagship status (suck it, State)...things like the Honors College, Croft Inst., PBK, Residential Colleges, Leadership Inst., Thad Cochran Center, et cetera et al...were ALL formed, built, or expanded sometime in the last 15 years or so?

And this is why I see it has hurting the WHOLE state of Mississippi. It affects whether or not business or industry comes to MS. It affects tourism like whether the NCAA wants to host a tourney. Honestly, frick ole miss but people will associate the university with the state right or wrong.

You must not remember very well as the majority of the donations you just mentioned were committed PRIOR to Ole Miss getting rid of Colonel Reb.
Another campaign that ended around the year 2000 raised over half a billion dollars, BEFORE Colonel Reb was banished in 2003. Now, why don't you PROVE me wrong?
Also, you said Ole Miss didn't have a PBK chapter because of the rebel flag, which is a huge crock of shite.
I know more about Ole Miss than you can imagine,so if you wish to debate with facts, and not some made up shite to suit your purpose, we will.
