How about the more culturally forward Ole' Miss? Dangit, I can't do an accent mark.

I'd like to start a petition to get the "Ole Miss" name removed from the sidebar here on the Rant. We should be progressive and not just accept this blatant racist term as everyday language. I'm sure everyone but Mississippi fans will agree. Thanks


The term they used was ol' missus. Do gooders want to say that they took that and further changed it to come up with Ole Miss rather than the obvious source.

"Request to Change the term "Ole Miss"


New Miss? - because we are in a new century
Hot Miss? - because it is hot in Mississippi and has some hot coeds
Olé Miss? - because we need to acknowledge our new south american overlords
Near Miss? - because, well you know..
Gluten Free Miss? - because it is trending now

Can we change it to say "Virginia Tech" or "NC State"?

Technically, the Louisiana Black Bear.


Louisiana Black Bear (Ursus americanus luteolus)
?Taxa: Mammal
?Range: Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
?Status: Recovered

It's the original "Teddy bear" named after Teddy Roosevelt who bagged a few while hunting through Louisiana and Mississippi.

there are still black bears where I live, which is right in the crux of the 'boot' in St Francisville. They live on both sides of the river, close to the river, around here.

Keep the name Ole Miss.

Because I don't think any new name would connotate nearly the level of sheer garbage in every aspect of everything as Ole Miss does.
