Who wins?

Very leery of picking against FSU at home... But I think Ole Miss gets this one.

The team that wants it more and comes to play will win

Texas wanted it last night. Are they really that good?? They wanted that win though

If FSU wants a title run this year, they better not listen to all the voices telling them how great they are...they better come to play tonight

I've been waiting all weekend for this game.

On paper, it's the best of the week.

Come on Ole Miss!

Sorry for the sort of troll-ish aside:

Has anyone heard that "Ole Miss" doesn't actually refer to a cutesy, southern twang pronunciation of "Old Mississippi". Instead, it's actually a slavery era term for the plantation owner's wife. IE, she is the "ole miss".

I heard that recently and was blown away. Anyone else hear that? Or maybe it's commonly known.

Huh. That's actually less offensive than I thought. "Old Mississippi" makes me think that they're supporting the way things used to be, i.e. slavery.

But that's sort of cool to be the modern-day "old lady" of the state.

It's a fact well known among people familiar with the South's antebellum history.

A 2014 article from Inside Higher Ed has more detail. See the section 'The Ole Miss Name'.

I hate ole miss but this is just idiotic. My ole jeep didnt own slaves. Its just southern for old.

If the name of the state was shitehole and they called the university ole miss you might have a case.

Who cares Ole Miss or Southern Miss if one is offensive then both would. Just a easier way then saying Mississippi constantly.

dalvin cook is this seasons first buffoon of the week

congratulations dalvin cook I am sure whatever stupid maneuver you were going to do while going into the endzone was going to be really "plexilicious" and "styling", but it was funner seeing you look like a fool and cost your team 4 points instead

Even if it is, I don't care. I'm over minor racist things like that.

Get over yourself, not everyone is going to like you.

I 'Nole a little Sumptin' about Ole Miss . They be goin' Down !!!!!! That is for You "Stinkfist" ! Congrats on Burning UK up in the 2nd half.

RE: Old Mrs vs. the 1/2 Noles - MplsBison - 09-08-2016 03:43 PM

Thank you Gitanole for confirming the slavery history of the Ole Miss nickname.

Quote:Of the Ole Miss name, they note that some but not all who use the name are aware of its antebellum past (a name slaves would use for the woman married to the plantation owner). And while the report agrees that many students and alumni love the name, it adds that they see the nickname as a symbol that holds the university back. "Building a dialect version of 'old' into an institution that is built to prepare for the future strikes them as inherently problematic," the report says. It also notes that many are reluctant to speak out publicly for fear of offending those who revere the name.
