You do not have the origination of the sideline Col. Rebel correct. I was the originator of the sideline Colonel Rebel and performed for 2 years before passing the honor to a Kappa Sigma fraternity brother of mine. Colonel Rebel remained a brother in my Kappa Sigma fraternity for over 20 years. If you are interested in learning the facts about the origin of this tradition, feel free to contact me for further information. - Tommy Stone

Controversy re: new mascot

It should be noted in this article the trickery used by the University administration that is evident in this article. The "student body voted for a new mascot" is incorrect. There was a vote held with two choices: 1. The students pick a new mascot (Col Reb not being an option) or 2. The administration would hire a marketing company to develop one. Col. Reb. was never an option so students wishing his return did not bother to vote. Then Dan Jones and whoever else broadcast to the world that the students voted for a NEW mascot, IT JUST AIN'T SO. They are slimey and coercive. Us, as college students, have alot to learn on how democracies can be undermined by people with an agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.145.109.154 (talk) 20:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ColReb.jpg

Image:ColReb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Why is the Col. not OK but "rebels" is still OK?

Why is "Col. Reb" an unacceptable mascot while "Rebels" is an acceptable team name at all? That makes no sense. The team itself should be re-named, if Col. Reb isn't OK. --198.49.180.40 (talk) 18:06, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that question's been raised—or at least not any way that reliable sources have picked up. Have any newspapers reported a call to change the nickname? —C.Fred (talk) 18:13, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is with the photo?

The photo is supposed to show Col Reb performing with cheerleaders in a stadium, but the mascot is not even visible. Isn't Ole Miss supposed to be a reputable journalism school? Can we get a more descriptive photo from the newspaper's archives? 67.53.156.76 (talk) 20:37, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
