Do y'all not understand how that is seen in the black community?

Both mascots failed so miserably, they both were retired.

Juice Kiffin has been more of a mascot than anything else we've tried since Colonel Reb.

I'm not sure that was the flag of the confederacy. I think but not sure is that the flag of the armies of Northern Virginia was the flag of the confederacy.

I read somewhere that while the confederate flag was indeed for bad intentions, Lee wanted to use it to differentiate flags from the North and the South as many flags were similar. I could be wrong.

If Joe Biden declares that trannies are the ultimate expression of American liberty, does that make it so?

There were many flags used by the Confederacy, the individual confederate states, and other armies and groups within the same.

Here is a Wiki link discussing them.

By orders of the chancellor at the time due to the student section chanting at the end of the piece. Sadly the band got blamed and there were a few incidents of their members being harassed about it.

Also if OM had made the Colonel Black after Blind Jim then problem solved. Dude was a legend.

No one blamed the bland. Everyone blamed the students.

I’ve got a few connections in the music department and I saw some of the emails they got. They were pretty rough. Also had an incident in the Grove the next week where they got booed and cussed at.

Point being, there was some backlash from some of the lower quality fans (which everyone has including State).
