Editorial: Removing ‘Dixie’ Shouldn’t Matter to Fans

Related Topics: University of Mississippi

Before I begin, I would like to get one thing out of the way: I like traditions. They are a part of what makes college football and Ole Miss great. From old traditions like the sounds of the ‘Pride of the South’ to tailgating in the grove to new ones like ‘Locking the Vaught’, it is part of what makes game day special.

I have been attending games at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium since I was seven years old in 1998 and am entrenched in all the traditions that Ole Miss offers both on game day and non-game day.

As much as I like the traditions of Ole Miss, the one tradition I like more than all the others is winning.
