re: For the inevitable comparisons to Ole Miss:

The fact that ole miss people are trying to say LSU has the same racist history is laughable.

Which school had riots when the first black student was admitted? Which school had to ban the confederate flag because the entire stadium wouldn’t stop bringing them to games? Which school has colors mirroring the confederate soldier uniforms? Which school’s band had to stop playing Dixie despite fan backlash? Which school had to change their mascot due to it being a confederate symbol?

Get a freaking grip ole piss. Yall are lucky to even be in the same conference as LSU. You have a much smaller regional following. You have no major history in the modern era. You aren’t viewed as a CFB staple. You’re simply lucky to be in the SEC. Just like Vandy, Ms State, Arkansas and SC. Keep riding the coattails of LSU, Bama, UGA, Tennessee, Auburn and Florida. Heck even now id put OU and Texas above yall as more relevant all time and today.


Bye nerds.

it doesn't matter where or how the name came from. Folks are trying to compare a team being named for Confederates in the 1890's vs. Ole Miss still waving Confederate flags and playing Dixie in the late 1990's.
