Ole just sounds dumb. Sorry, but if I hear someone casually say 'ole' in normal conversation, like "my ole lady, or that ole dog", gonna judge.

I have an LSU V Ole Miss program, but don't remember which year. It has Old Miss on the cover.

Spelling is not a strong suit for some, somebody making the buttons thought they were showing off their education by knowing there's a "d" in "old"....

"Did you know there's a 'b' in' dumb'?"

The nickname “Ole Miss” comes from “Old Miss,” the plantation-era term enslaved people used for the mistress of the house.

Maybe it’s time we stop affirming grown men who insist on self-identifying as a female plantation owner.

You’re University of Mississippi fans. We shouldn’t be forced to participate in your preferred identity.

Everything seems to be about race with you from reading your posts.

Let's take a look at your last 15 posts guy...

“An abortion lover only when those aborted were White Christian babies.” -CupidStunts

“They forgot to insert the word black between end and racism” -CupidStunts

“What jewish tribe does this one belong to?” -CupidStunts

I'd say this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black, but you would accuse me of posting on race again.

Now look at my posts, I only brought up race to troll Ole Piss and their history that even Lane Kiffin points out.

I grew up in a family of Ole Miss fans. I am not young and this is the first time I ever heard "Old" Miss.

Just because someone wrote it “with authority” on the internet, it doesn’t remotely make it true.

Is this something people really claim with authority? I was just using it as a set up to imply Old Piss fans dabble in transgenderism.

This was debated back when that “old” button first came out. It was eventually deemed incorrect and should be Ole Miss.

Indeed, the 2-foot thick Old English Dictionary says most uses of this term should be Ol’.

The OED makes exception for two uses — Grand Ole Opry and Ole Miss.
