Its fricking dumbass rednecks who have no affiliation with Oxford or Ole Miss that come in and do this shite.
I'm a State fan that is going to defend Ole Miss on this one.
There are pockets of this sort of crap everywhere south of the Mason Dixon line. This confederate heritage shite happens everywhere.
For some damn reason, people outside of Mississippi look at Ole Miss as the everlasting symbol of the Old South. You get assholes from across the South that go to college at Ole Miss so they can act like this. My guess is the picture is not of students, but of a refrigerator repairman from Water Valley with his family.
You get assholes like Crunchy Mike and the idiots that defaced the statue - all from Georgia mind you and people just scream Mississippi racists.
Ole Miss is going to have to drop Rebels completely or they will continue to draw idiots to their school that think its cool to shout the South will Rise Again. But like all colleges, they are addicted to that federal financial aid money that comes in a lot more with out of state students.

Sadly this will be a thing that is seriously debated within the next 15 years. That and getting rid of the name "Ole Miss"
At that point, I will cease my relationship with the university.

Are out of state students a financial windfall?
I don't know if that's the case. I honestly don't know. I know people here tend to complain about the high number of OOS students here, as they "aren't from taxpayers's families", etc.

Are you asserting that racist out-of-state students are choosing Ole Miss because their mascot is the "Rebel?"

This is very true. When I was in grad school at Ole Miss in the 80's there was a law student from South Carolina (via Wake Forest) that incited a race riot. Idiot went running down Fraternity Row to Jackson Avenue waiving a confederate flag. He found some support from some Water Valley types at that liquor store at Jackson and Fraternity Row. Crap was on the NBC news the next night.
