Who do you think the culprits are that warrant the moves to these boards?

I would imagine if all of the rules are followed objectively.... people wouldn't race-bait as much.

The downright (and openly admitted) subjective behavoir of the mods is why people take advantage of the rules.

I am sure you will move on to your next gig after Sunday. But if you keep this up, your little stint will not be around for the rest of the week.

You must not know them very well. Many (not all) are very politically correct until they are around a crowd they are comfortable with.

My friend's son was in a fraternity down there and told me some stuff that would be funny (if you lived in a nazi compound in Idaho). He thought it was funny too, until some of this venom went towards one of his best friends from a "respectible" East Memphis private high school who happened to be of asian heritage.

Mississippi still has a long way to go.

Mississippi has a long way to go, yes, but I'd say our country as a whole has a long way to go. Racism isn't an isolated problem to just the south or Mississippi in particular. Everyone likes to point their finger that way, because it's the easiest target. There is a lot of racism in Mississippi, but there is just as much in Memphis, Detroit, New York, and everywhere else in the country. It just takes different forms in different parts of the country.

Using isolated cases of individuals to prove your point about an entire fanbase or state doesn't hold much water.

Go ahead, set up away from everyone and then come back here with lies about how bad you were treated. Let your irrational hatred cause you to miss out on one of the best sporting traditions in the world.

I will "man up" I am supposed to meet some friends in the grove this year. Last time I was young and stupid and talked so much trash I deserved to be punched. This year I plan on having a good time but have to talk a little trash to my buddies and the 7 guys in matching pants and polos. Anyways I am pumped about this "Non-rivalry" game and ready to start the season.
Go Tigers,

Then I wish that many free beers will find their way into your hand! May your manliness be rewarded!

I have had some good times in the Grove and Have been treated very well by the Rebel fans. I think it is sad to start pointing fingers and calling them a racist school/town. In all honestly, The last time the Klan marched in the area, it was in memphis. And wasn't, the Civil Rights Leader, Dr. King killed in Memphis. There is no need to bring racism into this argument. Oruvoice, keep it clean.
