Front coming in today and no reason to risk delays. It's not the rain, it's the lightning strikes. We didn't get to play our scrimmage or jamboree this year at West Ridge due to lightning.

Just asked people that went there within this time frame and they say this is completely inaccurate.

Show me where there is a single confederate flag on WM's campus. There isn't and has not been. Hell the administration literally cut Flags off of trucks a couple years ago and told everyone it is not allowed on campus.

Have never and hope to never set foot on their campus. Was just passing along a comment, calm down.

I'm calm. Just a conversation we've had many times. Shows actually tried to change WM's mascot to the Running Rebels like UNLV. He eradicated all confederate symbols from the school.

Long time West Monroe family, I concur that the administration abolished Rebel flags long ago as any part of the school image. The occasional fan still pulls one out and yes, the band does play Dixie despite the PC nazis. For the gent that never hopes to step foot on campus, it's not because of anything we've done or represent. Your choice, please come watch a game and visit the campus. I'll even buy the ticket. Fans are polite and mature, and while it's a public school, it's does pretty well across the board.

My senior year at CHSbr 2005, we played yall in WM in the semis. Yall had a truck parade before the game with rebel flags, and then for the entire game, about 5-10 men stood in the endzone bleachers each holding a rebel flag.



That was 11 years ago. So unless you consider the football field not on campus, they were allowed under 20 years ago


eta: I had a blast. Enjoyed the pagentry and have no issued with the flag itself either

I was referencing them being on the school or it's property, meaning there were literally paintings and flags on the walls and signs. Those were all removed long ago. The parade has ended and flags aren't permitted in the stadium. Really is completely different now under Ainesworth.

Gotcha. I understand the reasoning, but it really was a cool thing when I went

It's not ready yet. It's a monstrosity that dwarfs the current home side.
