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.


I guess they didn't care enough about Col. Reb to fight for him though. With all that money, Ole Miss would have kept him if they would have wanted him.





Once again....you're in the minority at Ole Miss. You may not realize it though because it's a VERY vocal minority.


Like I said before, while you're pissing and moaning over Col. Rebel the rest of us are moving on.

Right. And, as recently as 2003, 94% of the students voted to retain Colonel Reb as the mascot.
