To play devil's advocate think about how many bad things people associate with the name ole miss just over your lifetime
Let me play devil's advocate to that...the names of almost every state in the south could carry a negative connotation in the minds of many. Should we rename Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.? The best way to take the light away from the past is to prove in the present and the future that those days are long in the past. Changing the name is just a gesture that does nothing in the grand scheme of things.
And sorantable is right...Mississippi is too many syllables for the PA announcer to yell after a first down.

I wasn't suggesting changing everything just making the whole Mississippi thing more prevalent in some of our marketing
