The University of Mississippi will require university officials to use discretion when identifying the school as “Ole Miss” because it could be understood as a racist nickname.
“UM’s longstanding nickname is beloved by the vast majority of its students and alumni,” says a statement from Ole Miss. “But a few, especially some university faculty, are uncomfortable with it. Some don’t want it used at all and some simply don’t want it used within the academic context.”

I think they are the Black Bears now.
The University of Mississippi Black Bears
MS Ping
Two words are all that is needed “Hotty Toddy”!
Yeah...tell them to go to Miss St...or Southern Miss...what BS
The people there are wussies. They changed the teams from Rebels to bears. They try to be pc but when authorities went after the cowbells at MSU, they fought back. Of course, I went to MSU back in the good ole days. Go Dawgs.
Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss
Ooh I feel so naughty.....

They'd just tell you to suck it up.
Ole Miss is still called the Rebels. However, their horrible mascot is the Black Bear.
I quit having any caring about Ole’ Miss when they sold their heritage only to recruit black athletes.
I just waiting for the PC crowd to figure out who the hell Ross Barnett is!!!
Shhhhhh.
Think of the signage that would have to be replaced!
LOL!
It all started with the purge of the song Dixie and the Confederate flag at games and then Colonel Reb though he still sneaks in
Attacking the Old South is just an easy avenue to continue to destroy American traditions in general
Pity its always applauded by many here and quite a few pundits and talk radio
Not to mention all the white perch that would have to dyed black and renamed Medgar Evers Perch.
Its still Ole Miss Rebels
They have officially dropped Colonel Reb in favor of a poor bear quasi mascot no one cares about
Colonel Reb is still well alive outside the stadium as is other southern heritage
But make no mistake....many of the kids like too many posters here are well indoctrinated in the politically correct ways
The alumni is a lost cause.....Oxford is a cesspool of Mississippi haters who apologize for Faulkner’s racism and scorn all else this side of Delta Blues
And fellate the public academia appendage cause they can’t make it in the real world
Over half are Yankees....
Disgusting......literary carpetbaggers
Trent Lott son led the charge
Or call them crappie like Yankees do
