No the people who can't stand him are the ones who cuss out the bear mascot and care more about tradishuns than the strides we've made nationally over the past decade. Honestly it's mostly the out of state crowd who come in and don't know jack shite about ole miss but yell the south will rise again and put Dixie flags they buy online in their dorm because it's cool.
And it's kind of ironic that so many people who threatened to stop giving to ole miss over something as silly as a mascot are now being shown what that really looks like when actual money players are doing the same thing over a position that matters.

I want to kick some people in the nuts so hard that they can feel them in their throat when they do this. I wasn't a fan of the black bear when it was first announced but good lord. It's a mascot for children. I saw grown damn men cussing the mascot in front of children trying to take pictures with it. And when I say grown men, they weren't frat stars. They were mid-30's men drunk off their asses trying to look cool and the sad thing was there were people that took up to cheering them after they did it.

We haven't done much in this area over the last decade. Hell a few years ago we were international news because someone claimed there was a racist riot going on on campus after Obama was elected. We're still viewed as racist and honestly, it doesn't matter what we do now or in the future because people will always look at Ole Miss as the school that rioted and killed two people in 1962 because a black man was enrolling. It doesn't matter how many streets we rename, or how many statues we build or how many awareness weeks we have. It will always be there and it will always be what the majority of the nation will think of when the name Ole Miss is mentioned.
