The death of a school's tradition?

Obviously the debate will never end, but ultimately this should be the decision of the people in Mississippi to decide upon and govern themselves. If they want the Confederate Banner/name gone then so be it if not then it is what it is.

Without knowing the exact ratio, I think it's safe to assume that black football players are the majority on most SEC football teams, Ole Miss included.

Since the thread was bumped, I thought I may as well raise this point. I have no idea if this has anything to do with the Confederacy stuff, but I'll say it anyways. Prior to integration, Ole Miss seemed to have a strong program. Post integration, they've been a dumpster fire. Anyone think there may be some correlation?

The "Stars and bars" to my knowdledge refers to the U.S. flag...Our Confederate Flag is know as the "Southern Cross". and is the one atop the flag pole in my yard...right below the Tennessee State Flag of course

The Stars and Bars was the original Confederate flag adopted in 1861. It used three large bars in the field where the stripes exist in the U.S. flag. It was dropped after a year or so because it was too easily confused with the U.S. flag in battle.

It was replaced with the "Stainless Banner" in 1863:

Which was in turn replaced with the "Blood-Stained Banner" in 1865:

The "Southern Cross," the St. Andrew's Cross with the 13 stars without the field, was only used as a battle flag. It was never the national flag of the CSA.

The last flag was called the navy jack flag that flew on CSA naval ships.

So what you are saying is that Ole Miss is better off as a all white school or team?

No. I'm saying that since integration, they haven't been able to keep up. I was just wondering if there confederacy stuff has has hurt recruiting efforts in the past.
