Try, just for a minute, to think rationally about this.
On one hand you have the shortened "Ole mississippi" which would make perfect sense since we're the university of mississippi.
Then there's the plantation owners wife thing. Tell me one logical argument that would explain as to why they would choose to call the university that. Seriously, just one thing that makes this make sense.

All I know is that your own fricking school had it on its official website that the name came from slaves- until I wrote my article that got so much publicity and they changed it. If the school says that is where it came from- I'll go with them.
