WOW! Only an ole missy fan would actually type that for people to see. After you typed that, did you throw yourself on the ground, kick & scream, & hold your breathe till you turned blue?
Don't come whine & complain here, go to your admins who folded under the pressure & do your bitchin' there. A couple of years ago, PETA wanted to make a HUGE story about LSU keeping a live tiger mascot. Did LSU admins fold under the pressure? Hell no, he Chancellor wrote PETA a letter & basically told them to shove it where the sun don't shine. ole missy admins need to take a lesson from LSU. No one to blame for this whole fiasco but ole missy admins folding under pressure.....a lot like their football team.

<<<I think it's retarded. The Civil War was over 200 years ago. If anyone is offended when they see the Rebels, then they must be some old SOBs.>>>
2010 minus 1865 equals 145 years
I hope you are not an LSU student or graduate!

You've given them an inch and they'll take a mile. The next thing to go will be "Rebels" changed to Bears. And finally Ole Miss will be changed to simply, Mississippi, because "Ole Miss" represents the old plantation house slave.
Because it's not fair. How would you feel if this shite was happening to LSU
I kinda miss all the rebel flags that used to be in the stadium and I don't care what anyone thinks about that. What's happening there is wrong.

I think the Rebel Black Bear is a perfect mascot for Ole Miss.
After all, your football program has been in hibernation since it won its last SEC championship in 1963.

The Civil War didn't occur in 1810 or years prior. Skip a few history classes eh?

OK, OK. I know the Civil War wasn't 200 years ago. I wasn't thinking straight.

Is it based off a Confederate Civil War regiment?
Posted on 10/15/10 at 12:24 pm to Toddy
You better just get used being the black bears and like it.

Every parish in Southern Louisiana had there own tiger battalion, The Calcasieu Tigers the Acadia Tigers and so on..... These groups came together to go up North and fight with a savage style, Not marching in succession with a drummer to let you know we were coming these guys actually Hid in the woods and would sneak attack you, They were said to come back home wearing necklaces with ears, noses, and Penis's hanging from the people they killed!!... These guys were true coonasses from the swamp with the mentality to kill savagely, They Were said to be feared by all even Gettysburg...

As long as you understand that the Civil War wasn't the one where we fought the British or Germans.

Wow.
You're a colossal dumbass if you don't see the difference between a old, white plantation owner named Col. Reb and a fricking tiger. The nickname was based around the 'fight' of a tiger, not the actual brigades.
