BWE and I are guilty of posting stuff during off-peak hours. It's good stuff, and I'd hate for you to miss it, so consider this Roudup, while early in the morning, as the third post of the day. Check out his Around the SEC East and my brief look at the Hogs and Rebs and how they fared against their only common opponent thus far.
Ole Miss Hockey vs. Mississippi State | Facebook Event
Well we've linked Facebook. Awesome. Quoth the Facebook page:
COME SUPPORT THE ICE REBELS IN THEIR HOME OPENER AGAINST MISSISSIPPI STATE! Tickets will be sold at the door - $5 for adults and $2 for kids 12 and under. Their (sic.... audible sigh) will be full concessions.
This will be the first game played in a best-of-three series against Mississippi State for the Frozen Egg Cup!
Ole Miss seeks to silence 'rising South' chant at end of fight song | ESPN
Fantastic. It's an AP story which has been picked up on ESPN now. I know we said it wouldn't be a topic of discussion any longer here, but this is too significant to pass up. To the people who continue to chant this nonsense: do you see what you've done? Are you proud of this?
It's Also in the LA Times | The LA Times
Even better! The most hypocritically judgemental group of folks in America--Californians--have more fodder towards which to direct their finger-pointing! The piece is tough to read but not for the sensitive nature of the subject; it is rife with inaccuracies and stuff like this:
However, after Dr. Dan Jones was installed as Ole Miss' chancellor last summer.
What a cliffhanger! Hey, Mike Penner, that one-line "paragraph" thing you columnists do is annoying as it is, and the fact that you couldn't even fill one of those said lines with an actual sentence isn't exactly helping the situation.

Only a matter of time.....
Folks, this is just the latest that everybody is whining about….gives them a reason to do so…….pretty soon we’ll be the Mississippi Express. No Ole Miss, No Col Reb, No Rebels, No Dixie, etc. Sad, sad to think about it, but signs of the times……offending too many people! Country is going to crap anyway, we’ll be Mexico in 10yrs if people don’t wake up……
THE SKY IS FALLING!
THE APOCALYPSE APPROACHES!
Seriously, this isn’t that drastic. Please don’t convince yourself that it is.

Have you considered...
the Rants and Raves section of craigslist.com? You should check it out. You’ll feel right at home there.
Didn't you hear me say God bless George Washington, God bless my mother? What kinda Injun would say a fool thing like that?

take the aluminum foil helmet off you head for a second
TSWRA is the only thing that is endangering our traditions. the funny thing is that all you fuckwads are claiming that you want to preserve Ole Miss and its identity, yet your insistance on chanting this garbage, redneck mantra that never was and never will be a tradition is exactly what is threatening that identity.

Sorry.....
Guys, I apologize for the political rant on this site, but constantly putting Ole Miss to the forefront of the racial stuff kills recruiting and is always a national headline…..of course people don’t talk about Bama and George Wallace……just sucks we’re always portrayed as a bunch of racist folks.
I agree.
We’re whipping boys of the nation in general for the whole racism thing. Imagine if the Rodney King beating and subsequent race riots took place in Jackson and not Los Angeles. There’d already be a movie out about it.

mississippi express?
Reminds me of “engines” being one of arkansas state’s non indian mascot alternatives.

Yeah I don't know where that idea came from.
I personally think Rebels is fine. If UNLV can have the name and confederate gray as one of their colors, then it obiously isn’t that big of a problem.
However, if were were forced to change it, I’m with Thile. Before the “Rebels” monniker was adapted in the 1930’s, we were the “Mississippi Flood.”

YE-AH BUDDY!!
Then we could throw water on our opponents and stuff when they are leaving the field at half time and our mascot could be us doing the wave! YEE-HAW!!
Honestly, I wouldn’t care. I’d still be a fan and at least there is tradition there.

Maybe the crows? Or the Mississippi Hose?

How about the Arkansas 9?

Really.
For any Southern state to call out another for a racially troubled past is very, very retarded. Also, YellowTail, please learn to use the reply button. It makes the threads easier to comprehend and such. I thought you were smarter than this.
