Does the chancellor believe that stopping the fight song will stop the students from chanting any damned thing they want to?

Is there a YouTube video to hear the song & the chant? I would love to hear it. And I would love for the Ole Miss fans to chant and sing the song even louder than before. Tell the politically correct weenie chancellor & mushy coaching staff & administration to stick it up their collective @$$es.

After 9/11 Purdue dropped its cannon, because it was to violent........I spoke with Morgan Burke then, he is still the Athletic director.

One of these days, they will beg for the cannon, not for touch downs but for defense.

This chancellor is just asking the board of trustees to fire him. Give him what he wants and bring back the song.

"Lord willing, and the creek don't rise, we gonna rise again," said Sumter, SC, radiator technician Hap Slidell, who describes himself as "Southern by the grace of God." "I don't know exactly when we're gonna do it, but one of these days, we're gonna show them Yankees how it's done."

“Jones said the words in the phrase are “harmful” because they’ve been used by integration opponents in the past. For years, the university has worked to rid itself of an Old South image that included the 1962 violent standoff over James Meredith’s admission as the university’s first black student.”

Ashamed of their Ross Barnett (Democrat governor) powered opposition to integration? Why do they always leave that out?

This would be an easy fix...the fans should just boycott the games...for awhile. The loss of funds would probably go a long way in convincing the powers that be to butt out.

What is it with everyone wanting to control and lord-and-master over everyone else?

Is it going to end up that any white person who speaks at all is a racist? Is part of "reparations" going to be that we must reverse the roles? Well, if that is it, it ain't going to work.

Whatever happened with all that slavery nonsense 400 years ago doesn't have an ice cube's chance in hell of happening again.

I remember back in the 60's when the University of Georgia had to change the name of their band - The Dixie Redcoat Band - to just the "Redcoat Band", dropping "Dixie" from their name and repertiore. Ironically, the song "Dixie" was written by a black man.

When will it end, if ever? Will be be racist if we wear a "cotton" T-shirt? After all, references to "cotton" in the song "Dixie" seems to be the problem.

Actually, it's part of the white guilt trip mantra used to control everyone these days. Well, sorry guys, I was born over 100 years after slavery ended, and had nothing to do with it. All races have had their slaves, and all races have had their Kings...it's part of history if humankind.

We have a government right now trying to enslave us all...reducing self-relient, productive citizens into jobless entitlement mongers. The leg chains are next.

Except for the years from 1861-1865 when the region was under a homegrown dictatorship, the South has not needed any rising other than electing a better quality of politicans. But all the attention given this story is nothing more than the old tactic of giving outsiders a good reason to feel morally superior by piling on the state of Mississippi. For many, particularly those of leftist leanings, the “thou” in “holier than thou” means Mississippi.

True, I am Washington State born and raised and God help me, I have a sister-cousin.

Hint to Chancellor Dan Jones “Racially offensive? Yes 150 years ago but today it means politically rising not racially rising. Get a life schmuck.”

Isn’t this Shep’s school? Wonder what he is going to say about it on The Fox Report

Whatever he says will be liberal nonsense. Bet on it.

I think this is a good thing, let the little kiddies see what it is like for the rulers to exert control over their lives and what they believe to be important. Hopefully they will chant on and tell the administration to go to hell.

Fine. Do it. And while they are at it, there should be no more hip hop or rap crap played over the PA system. If this song is too “racist” to be allowed, then the other form of “racist” music should be banned. Why not ban music all together. Someone with extremely thin skin will find something to be offended by. Just do away with it entirely. That’ll make ‘em happy. Sheeesh, get a life. How is “the South will rise again” racist anyway?
