Their Southern heritage is the only thing I like about Ole Miss.

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.


And here they come. I'm sure there will be more. I saw dissertation-length posts the last time this came up.

I have only seen one in my life. Probably about 15 years ago while I was squirrel hunting in the Mississippi delta.

What's paradoxically true is if UM had to drop the name " Ole Miss " it would hurt their ability to recruit black athletes.
