Someone should be slick and change the nickname to the "coons"....talking about raccoons, but call them coons for short and have a mean looking raccoon as a mascot. Wonder how long it'd take for people to catch on. They sure didn't catch on to the new Georgia Flag until this past week.

Though I think it's time to remove the symbol from our state's flag, I don't wish to see the 'Rebels' go. In my always odd way of seeing things, a rebel doesn't have to mean someone that served in the Confederacy. Who can name a more relevant American rebel from the last 100 years than MLK?

But if we do change the name to Bears or anything stupid, I'm out and I can say that I did get to see a trip to Omaha.

If people don't like it they need to move. Didn't yall vote on it??? Flag is not hurting anyone in Mississippi. I've never experienced any racism in Mississippi. But the flag is a problem

It's not just Ole Miss that needs to worry, It's all the schools named for confederate regiments.

Both Rebels and OM days are numbered; Red, Blue & Grey aren't far behind, I'm truly sad to say.

I don't see why we couldn't just make Col Reb black. Solves everything IMO

How many times are y'all going to repackage this same shitty thread?

This is the third time it's been posted in the past two days.

Have you ever been there?

Sadly, you don't have to look hard to find racism in Mississippi.

There's racism in every state. Mississippi gets bad rap because of the civil rights movement. Mississippi is no more racist than Missouri or Kansas.

I'm surprised Ole Miss fans aren't more open to a mascot change. It's not like it could make their program any worse.
