SBNation has gone network-wide with new skins for all of their blog communities. Let us know what you think and, in turn, we'll let the techie guys know what the Cup en masse thinks. Don't worry, they know me; they'll listen.

Well, David, for starters we know that we love them, their mascot, their traditions, their precious little quarterback, and their trees! Is there something else we should know?

"Ole Miss was a mirage." Actually, sir, Ole Miss was Ole Miss. I had convinced myself that this would be the year where the Rebels finally live up to their ranking in something, anything. Now, I am certain that will never happen. What's that you say? We're picked to be 2nd in the West in the SEC for mens basketball this season? Well that means we'll either win the whole damn thing or finish close towards the bottom! Screw prognostications! We're Ole Miss.

That's right, this zombie of an issue has resurfaced. Chancellor Jones has boldly proclaimed to ban "From Dixie With Love" altogether if TSWRA doesn't stop. The retarded half of the Ole Miss student body--a group of several thousand poorly educated white suburbanites who have little understanding of history or regard for the feelings of minorities--will surely miss the agonizing irony of an actual gameday tradition being removed to spite the misguided crusade to protect the pseudo-tradition that is TSWRA.
To those idiots, I've a song:

Lost is all of this...

True.
But is the greatest song our band plays. It’s one of the best in the SEC.

Oh definitely.
I love that song. I’m just talking about how the media can’t get past the fact that it’s not our fight song. It’s like they just don’t care that Forward Rebels exists.

The band playing FDWL in the grove gives me chills
If that song is lost I will be very upset with … well I guess with a lot of people: the chancellor for banning it, but also (and more importantly) the rednecks who can’t let something go.

Agreed.
As I have said before…TSWRA is not a tradition. And to jeapardize the whole song over something like this is just insane.
However, every time I hear Dr. Dan the Band-Hate man opwen his mouth these days, I lose respect for him because I am sick of caving to PC’ers (and I don’t mean Personal Computers!) and that is EXACTLY what he is doing! People who are offended by this are over-sensitive and need to get over it.
Just my opinion
Also, I would like to apologize for not doing my part to make the cosmos allign for the Rebels this weekend. I put on the navy blue boxer-briefs and thus jionxed our team out of a win. I am forever sorry for my gaffe.

No apologies needed...
…though it looks like a perfectly good red bra will be sent to one of those breast cancer charities soon. Sorry it brought no good juju on my part.

Still can't blame it on Jones myself.
I’ve been cringing every time I hear that chant for years now. They’ve tried to see if it would just go away, but apparently it won’t.
The ASB made it an issue this year, and when they made it an issue, Jones made it an issue as well.
From the first time I heard TSWRA, I knew that if it continued it would lead to the end of FDWL at Ole Miss games. FDWL has been on death row ever since the chant started, and the only way it was going to get off death row was if the chant would stop. Obviously that’s not going to happen, so instead we will lose the song.
And honestly, at this point, I agree with him. I love the song, but if getting rid of it is what it takes to get rid of the embarassment that comes from the chant, then that’s what we have to do.
This isn't the first time the ASB has brought this up.
I can remember this happening back in 2006, albeit with a bit less backlash.

Ok, regarding the football team......
What is the company line?? Are we still going with “this next game is where the rebels turn it around!!” I’m cool with that,but we’re running out of games!!
No.
Next game is where we beat a vastly inferior opponent. Then we flounder against three teams and probably win one.

as overrated as the rebels were to start the season...
…i’d say you are about as underrated right now. lsu gets you after this weekend’s battle royale in t-town and tennessee is living off the press clippings and happy thoughts moral victories and blowouts of steve spurrier only can give you. can you say trap games?

Ya know, I've tried...
be optimistic despite what we have seen on the field, as long as I could. Just wondering what others thought. I’m thinking like JUCO on this one. Beat the hell out of NA, lose vs. UT, then lose to LSUx. As for the state game, Im thinking thats the only conference game left for us that will may be up for grabs. 7-5 and a very disappointing 2009 season. (i hope im wrong tho)
I think the new layout looks good.
