0.
we'll see.

just don't involve the press.

I agree, but what's done is done.
I hope we can end this and save From Dixie With Love
Not great odds considering how stupid our students are.

I can assure you that nobody outside of the sec knew anything about the chant until the ritard started making a fuss over it. The press feeds off of stories like this, no need to give them anymore ammo



This is correct.

This.

It would be better off left alone probably. Most Ole Miss fans didn't even know about the chant in the first place. You can't even really hear it unless you're sitting by the student section. But if the do take away From Dixie With Love, I doubt it will last long. Being a smaller school in the SEC, we're in no position to be losing our funding.

Now it's a no win. We axe FDWL, we lose some donor money. We do nothing and the chant continues, we lose some donor money.

re: Looks like Ole Miss is going to drop "From Dixie With Love"
Oh boy, where do I even begin?

To you LSU, MSU, and Bama fans who just hate seeing our traditions go by the wayside....F You! Yeah, you just love the fact that Ole Miss maintains its traditions......while you routinely use them against us in recruiting black athletes.....and that goes for you, MSU, in particular!

To the Auburn fan who is sitting there all self-righteous about Mississippi....F You, too! Seriously, why do so many people from Alabama think they are so high and mighty vs. Mississippi when their own state produced Bull Connor, George Wallace, murders of little girls in their own church in Birmingham, lynchings galore, dogs set loose on marchers in Selma. Jeez!

To Ole Miss fans, I realize that was the subject of this thread, but really and truly, step back and take a look at yourselves and your school and your leadership. For the 40th year in a row, a once great football program is headed for the mediocrity pile and instead of pressuring the powers-that-be to correct the REAL problems, you let them get away with crap like this. It is not the issue itself, it is the fact that this is a continuation of Robert Khayat's attempts to blame the failures in Ole Miss athletics on phony issues rather than real ones......and if you let another Chancellor get away with that, you will be facing another four decades of protracted mediocrity......

I am done.....

I generally agree with NJ Reb because he's a bright guy.
Stopping from Dixie with love was a last resort, and I really hope it works.

The one thing I've always admired about Ole Miss is that they stayed true to their traditions during this whole politcal correctness movement non-sense. Now however, I no longer respect them for that because they are caving in like everybody else. First they took away Colonel Reb from the sidelines and now they may take away Dixie? Let's face it, that's about all Ole Miss has going for it.


couldn't agree more. what happen to tradition?

Uh, I didn't read the article.

I assumed he's (jones) the guy who's trying to impose his will on the students to keep them from doing their little chant, no?

He is. I'm glad he's doing it too. It sends the wrong message, it needs to go.

I don't care about the South Will Rise Again nonsense. I do love slow dixie though, and I'd rather some of our moron students not lose that for us.

TSWRA though, it's time for that to go.

The South might eventually rise again, but we sure have been putting it off for a long time. LINK

Mississppi Burning, lynchings galor in Mississppi, etc...All of the above are references to racism in the south FIFTY frickIN YEARS AGO!!

Your University and it's racists fans are the ones who can't let go and seem to revel in those traditions-not Auburn's. Deal with it or everyone will continue to beat you over the head with it on the recruiting trail.
