so bad about being called Mississippi as opposed to olemiss? The thread about the guy walking out of the touchdown club got me to wondering.

For those that do I think it mostly has to do with their hatred of Sherrill.

But, I still think it's funny how it's 2009 and they have managed to get away with using a term in reference to a plantation owner's wife as their preferred name. The media loves a good racism story. That's low hanging fruit.

And if I was a UM fan that's what I'd want to go by. But for some reason there is a large segment of your fanbase that absolutely hates that name. It's used to piss off those fans. Nothing more. If it doesn't piss you off, then it wasn't meant for you.

them of the great days of slavery. Ole Miss, a mint julip, and a hanging on the square, it doesn't get any better that that. When we start winning on a regular basis, and winning the EGG, it will get under their skin like it did with Sherrill.
