Funny how since Ole Miss is toning down the old south shite that they actually have a decent football team now and more AA are willing to commit to Ole Miss.

Do you really think their recruiting suffered due to the Old South stuff? Just look at the great talent they had in the early 2000s when they were competing in the West every year. Ole Miss has always recruited well even if that talent didn't always pan out on the field.

I don't think any institution should be "forced" to give up its traditions, especially if those traditions do not actively discriminate against people. However, if they had to change the mascot, I really wish they could have gotten Admiral Akbar. That simply would have been too funny, creative, unique, and appropriate.
