Once again....you're in the minority at Ole Miss. You may not realize it though because it's a VERY vocal minority.
Right. And, as recently as 2003, 94% of the students voted to retain Colonel Reb as the mascot.

Of course they did. But that was in 2003 when they were still in school with him on the sidelines.
I go back to what HT7 said the other day(think it was him)......
Col. Reb-tards keep pulling the "take it to a vote" card but sometimes voting isn't always the best thing to do. If it were, we wouldn't have Women's suffrage, Civil Rights, etc.
The fighting that you guys are putting up is the same exact fight we heard when the flags were banned.
And like I said before....If "traditions" were in fact the most important things, why don't we go back to a see of Conf. Flags and an actual Conf. soldier on the sidelines instead of Col. Rebel. It's extremely hypocritical of you to be so pro-Col. Reb yet not be pushing even harder for a guy in a Conf. uniform on the sidelines.
....After all, that was our mascot a hell of a lot longer than the Col. Rebel you love so much.
