well said bunkie. mike watlington, your post is as stupid as this whole TSWRA bullshit. it’s not tradition, it never was, you and your douche bag buddies are screwing with a wonderful tradition in From Dixie with Love. Burn to son of a bitch to a CD and chant it at Shiloe all you want, but cut that shit out at the game so we can keep our wonderful songs and the real tradition of Ole Miss. You’re fighting a battle you can not win here. you’re just making everyone look bad AND contributing to the loss of one of the SEC’s best gameday songs. in closing, quit this shit and do it now

In your eyes it has nothing to do with race, as it had nothing to do with race in my eyes when I was a student waving the flag, however, its about perception, politically correct perception or not, its still perception. And frankly, I choose to have the public perception of the University that I hold a couple of degrees from to be one that is above reproach, or at least as much as it can be. And as to your cross/klan point…the cross, as it stands as a religious symbol, would never be done away with due to some small scale connection with racism…conversely, the larger symbol of racism that the flag and TSWRA has should take precedent over some small scale feeling of school pride or southern heritage.

All that being said, you have given me a bit of insight…I totally think Jesus Christ ought to be the new Ole Miss mascot…that merchandise sells itself, people!

Hey screw you! It has nothing to do with race, and yea we could get over it if we let go, but where does the f’n political correctness end.Next what? you want to do away with the cross that represents our savior Jesus Christ just because some idiots use it(and disgrace it)like the klan.

Very well written. It’s a shame that a symbol some honestly admire for the sake of heritage and history has come to mean only “hate-mongering racism” as you put it, BP. But alas, you’re right. We need to quit chanting it, even though it’s a harmless chant and anyone that is truly offended by it needs to adjust their skirt. But this is the world we live in, and your piece makes a lot of sense. A lot of sense.

[...] South will rise again? No good sir the South rose long ago (Shepard Smith’s words not mine). Ole Miss wants students to cut that shit out. If you’re not going to listen to the man then listen to [...]
