It makes me so sad to see the kinds of changes being implemented at a place I have called home.

People are always going to call us Ole Miss. I am soooo tired of the University trying to flush our traditions down the drain.
First it was the flag--they were successful in getting rid of that, kinda.
Then it was Dixie...they failed...however they can only play it so many times per game or something.
Then it was Col Reb...both...didn't get rid of Col. Reb however no "on the feild" mascot.
Now trying to get rid of calling us Ole Miss. WHY? I'm sure they will come up with some reason it makes us look like we're racists who still think we're in the Civil War....that's what they did with everything else.
