Old Miss does not deserve to be called the Rebels or use 'Ole'.

Force them to own the stupid Land Shark moniker or better yet, the Catfish

Threads like this don't help with the "no, we're not obsessed with Ole Miss" trope.

If you know anything about the history of slavery in the South, no school should still be called 'Ole Miss' or the 'Rebels' for that matter, in 2026.

It’s statements like these why we no longer have “Lee Circle” in New Orleans. Everyone else can have their history, but southerners. ‘Ya damned Yankee!

I don't understand why they didn't rebrand with an American Revolution type rebel instead of a Landshark. That's stupid.

If I gave you the opportunity to change LSU's name from Tigers to Rebels tomorrow, you'd support it?

Foolish Statement…….Confederate Rebels are considered. “Veterans”. Of the. U.S.
They were “ Poor Dirt Farmers”. Being told what to do

I’ve got a better mascot name for them. How about Opossum, because they are going to get killed on the road and play dead at home.

Without question! I was born and raised in McComb. I know those bigot-minded mother_uckers all too well. They stand for Old Mississippi times, and that’s why on tigerdroppings and all my other social media accounts I always refer to the institution as Old Mississippi or Old Miss. Ole means Old, so I call em what they are. And talk about some pompous arse, arrogant, condescending folks! What a delusion!!

I grew up in Magnolia. Back in the 70’s we referred to Ole Miss as:
The University of Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College and School of Sheet Metal Work.

So the New York Yankees need to change their name too. Nobody alive today was a slave or a slave owner.

Nobody seems to be boycotting Lee Drive in Baton Rouge. Geez it's packed every day!

I say let them be the racist losers

Absolutely not! We are the LSU Fightin’ Tigers. The nickname "Tigers" comes from Civil War-era Louisiana military units, like the Louisiana Tigers, known for their ferocity. In 1896, LSU's football team adopted the "Tigers" name, solidifying it as their identity. Why change that heritage?

Be careful how far you want to push or advocate for this point.
Considering that we're "Tigers" because of the ferocity in which a group of Louisiana civil war soldiers are said to have fought, should we likewise drop our mascot?
Tread carefully and lightly on this, or maybe consider issuing a "My bad; never mind!" type response.

I hate Ole Miss. GTHOM and it has nothing to do with slaves or racism or any other racial political topic.
