The only way the Colonel wins this battle is if you get involved on his behalf. He needs you to call, fax, and e-mail university officials, the athletic committee which chooses the new mascot, and the college board which controls all of the colleges in Mississippi.

In the spring of 2003, the University of Massachussetts had the same problem as Ole Miss. Their university officials tried to force a new mascot on the students, alumni, and fans. Not only did they fail in this effort, the college board admitted that this action was distracting to the true mission of the university and their president was fired.

This battle has been fought before and won by those who got involved. Now is your opportunity! Look over the pages of this website to find the people you want to direct you comments to, all of whom are public figures deserving of your input.
