Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, October 28, 2009

The University of Mississippi has shortened one of its fight songs to discourage students from yelling "the South will rise again" at the end of it, a move that has inspired students to yell "the South will rise again" at the end of the shortened song. The school got rid of mascot Colonel Rebel six years ago and forbade the waving of the Confederate battle flag to distance itself from its past -- which includes 1962 riots over the admission of its first black student.

Yeah, well this time, nobody is going to give a shit.

Worrying about black people's feelings all the time is such a buzzkill.

Rise?

Rise from what?

I think some of these hillbillies are still fighting the war.

Nothing about black people, but those inbreds lost the war and need to get over it.

But I could see why someone like Cookfish would instantly blame black people. He can't help himself or hide who he is.

I only worry about 3/5th's, it's much easier that way.

Remember the Jackson State Massacre!

Remember the Kent State Massacre!

This is the South's version of Germany's holocaust denier laws. Some people in the South are seriously embarrased by the white trash assholes perpetuating the stereotype.

I'd be all over that comment if somebody else made it. I may have jus pitched a softball there.

Probably the same thing as Northerners who are embarrassed by their ignorant neighbors who think Southerners must be rednecks.

I know that was directed at me, but to see you curse at yourself like that is pretty funny Axe.

I read the article. Doesn't look like it's working.

"Earlier this month, the Ole Miss student government passed a resolution suggesting the chant be replaced by the phrase, 'To hell with LSU.'"

LOL!!

That's my school. It's been a long since I've been there to remember that rival. What a rival!

It's time to let go of the Old South identity.

I've never heard anyone chant anything to "From Dixie with Love" in my 30 years of going to Ole Miss games (though I haven't been back in a while). But speaking from my (too) many years there I can assure you that from this point forward Ole Miss fans will make a point to say it from now on. This story will make it a self-fulfilling controversy.

I was a student under President Kyatt. I don't know about the new guy, but Kyatt put race relations front and center. For a school with a large minority population is was very harmonious. A day didn't go by where we were not "celebrating" some kinda racial anniversary.

As a side note some of my family members were on the TIME cover in '62 when James Meredith was admitted. They spent the night taking down/moving road signs so the Nat'l Guard would get lost on the way to campus that morning.

Hotty Toddy!

lo, the south will rise again and the ghost of nathan bedford forrest will ride a pale white steed donning a dale earnhardt t-shirt and skoal bandits clenched inside twain phantom cheeks, reckoning the holy scripture of the great Lynyrd Skynyrd on his dixified ipod...

What a rival!

I love the way Ole Miss and LSU fans must walk a fine line after the benediction. No one wants to be the first, but you CAN'T be the second to: "Go To Hell LSU".

There is a fine art to picking the perfect moment after (or sometimes before) the "amen".

A friend of mine rang me last week. He saw WSP in Houston, TX which was apparently patrolled by brown shirts; they were kicking people out of the lot for playing frisbee. While in the beer line he was checking the score and told a friend, "ole miss is up by 10". Someone heard him and yelled, "go to hell LSU" -- it was a Tiger and he was just being ironical. They booted him out of the arena.

What's the world coming to?

Do they still have their hoods?

I dunno?

Try again.

The south has been trying to rise for the past 8 years that I have been here. They talk some heavy shit, but they don't know who or what they are going to rise against. These good ole' boys are armed to the teeth, they just need a cause and a leader that has a sense of direction. They register democrat, then they vote Republican, go figure!

How so?

Univ Of Penna changed their tune years ago so as not to demean women. The chant was "Any ice today Lady?"

You can't please all the people all the time. I say let em sing. Ole Miss they may lose some games, but they never lose a party...or something like that.There will be drinking in the 'Grove' either way!!!!

Sorry. He's one of yours.

Just because he moved to texas, wears a big hat and cowboy boots doesn't make him southern. certainly doesn't make him fuckin' texan.

I am a fan of the Tide, Gators and State Bulldogs and will now yell it at THEIR song ends as well.


Don't mess with us southerners yall. We will fry you like a chicken in peanut oil.

And go home all you Nor'easterners....please.

I don't see what's so offensive here. The South will rise again.

Just as soon as it stops voting Republican.

Hillbillies are not from Mississippi.

I sincerely hope that the South does rise again - they can rise up, pack their bags and move to Mexico. This country has too many uneducated welfare cases to take care of and removing the burden of the South would be a blessing to the rest of us. I am sick of trying to plan production at one of my Southern plants and I can't get a full shift together because squirrel season just opened. The only reason why there are any jobs in the South at all is because they allow you to pollute all you want and the people take much less pay than other states. However, in reflection, pulling production from a Midwest state to 'save' a few bucks is a huge mistake once you realize the lack the educated and non-lazy people in the South. One of my neighbors once asked me, "How many people work at your Columbia plant?", my answer, "About 50%".

Only condition on 'rising up' is that they have to take the Texans with them.

I'm surprised these SEC fans are able to sing or chant at all. Usually when your parents are brother and sister, you come out taciturn like the kid from Deliverance.

"I'm surprised these SEC fans are able to sing or chant at all. Usually when your parents are brother and sister, you come out taciturn like the kid from Deliverance."

Bet they play a mean banjo, though.

Goodlittlenazi,

My neighbor says almost the exact same thing. He travel to the south regularly for his company. The closer you get to the Gulf of Mexico, the worse it gets.

I thought the Ole Miss cheer was "FIND US ANOTHER MANNING GODDAMN IT!"


Screw Ole Miss. the Tide is gonna win the SEC this year, assuming we can beat LSU in 2 weeks.

Yankees lie, gripe, bitch, and grumble about Southerners, yet when the jobs run out in yankee-land, they flee like rats to mooch off the South...

How do you keep an Alabama fan from stealing your hog jowls? Lock them up in his outhouse and then hide the key under a bar of soap. Watching the "tide" vs. LSU will be like watching chrome rust except with time-outs.

Ahh.. the tollerant left, rears it's ugly head again.
Tollerant to what's "correct", tollerant to the greater good, but NEVER tollerant to anything outside their own bounderies.

It's a fuckin'song people, ever listen to some of the brotha' music? Now that's tollerance... fuck the cops, whitey, you mama, all the nigga's, the bitches and ho's. Good stuff there, nice and tollerant.

Yankees lie, gripe, bitch, and grumble about Southerners...

And try to buy a baseball championship every year.

I'd really love to know what company you work for.

You're probably the executive that sits in his office complaining about the help, but you don't know shit from shinola about the work that actually takes place on the plant floor.

The south doesn't allow any more pollution than anyone else. There are FEDERAL regulations that have to be followed, you know? Want to venture a guess what happens when one of the state organizations tries to get away with something shady?

As things continue to worsen economically, we'll have the research, IT and production jobs too.

-----------------
Axom spot on.
The South is capitalizing on the ignorance of the North, you can mock us all you want, we have fewer recessions, a lower cost of living, and economic expansion, thanks to Blue State politics that should continue.

I don't understand the "again" part. How "high" do these people think the Confederacy really was considering the ass-pounding it received from mostly immigrant conscripts on mostly its home territory?

The Confederacy was one of the most pathetic nations ever. With the exception of a few cool tunes on the banjo, everything about it is best forgotten.

That's not necessarily true. The unemployment rate in south carolina is pretty bad right now. the region of the state I live in has the highest state-wide. Mostly because this region relies heavily on tourism dollars.

we're hit by a recession as bad, if not worse, than other states.

but!

with the new boeing facility being built in Charleston and research and development firms moving to the northern part of the state, more opportunity presents itself.

The south will rise again...then it will fall...and rise...and fall...and so on...everything rises and falls...where is the issue...Ohhhhhh...people are dumb as fuck...I guess I'm included...

Here are my choices:

I could continue to live in my 4000 sq ft house on an acre of woods by the lake in North Georgia, where I pay less than $500 per year in property tax because I'm over 62. Or I could move back to Long Island where the rest of my family lives and pay 3 times the money for a 1600 sq ft house on a postage stamp and pay $10,000 per year in property taxes.

Tough choice here.

its pretty typical to read all of the nonsense from libs here about an article that is about an institution like this doing something to help keep anything bad from coming out of the yell at the end of the fight song.

the left wont rest until every bit of HISTORY is gone from that period..much like they rewrite history everyday about america from 1980 to 1988.

AND ITS amazing.
BEFORE I read the headline I thought that they were bringing it back when actually they were getting rid of it....THATS How much the left here is ate up with PC and wont even say...well good for them....

the left wont rest until every bit of HISTORY is gone from that period..much like they rewrite history everyday about america from 1980 to 1988.

Are you referring to the instance when that wrinkled pussy Reagan responded to the Beirut bombing by letting out the loudest, rankest queef in the nation's history?

Nothing about black people, but those inbreds lost the war and need to get over it.

Where's General Sherman when you need him? Then again, one of the best Presidents and C-in-C's in the last 50 years came from Arkansas, so...

"Then again, one of the best Presidents and C-in-C's in the last 50 years came from Arkansas, so..."

C in C? Yeah, Clinton was a military mastermind. Allowing Al Queda to attack us with impunity for eight years and bombing the Serbs because the Euros told him to makes him a real genius where American national security was concerned.

Our last 3 presidents have military minds on par with Looney-Tunes villians.

Its football. Its a fight song. Get over it. I have a feeling 90% of these kids don't even realize where the damn thing comes from. They are in college after all.

I hate the Confederate soldier statue in the middle of the town square here in my home town in Alabama. My brother and I were talking about how easy it would be to pull it down. We were really thinking about doing it until we thought what if we got caught, oh shit, our bodies would never be found.

I too like to make up history. Oh! Remember when George Bush had a threesome with Condi and Cheney while Al Qaeda attacked the Towers? ...crap. That one might be true.

Clinton did a good job of cracking the numerous terrorist groups, but there was little credible information they were anything other than amateur bomb makers at that point. Sorry. They blew some shit up that most rural teenagers in this country could have. And stopping the genocide in Serbia? You want to whine about him doing that?

Hard to disagree on Bush Jr though. Bush Sr on the other hand was a pretty damn competent C&C. Obama hasn't done enough yet, so we'll see.

Point: You're an idiot, idiot.

My wife has used this cheer in my presence too, but only with mixed results.

Do you know what Southerners call Northerners when they come down South? BOSS!

"Clinton did a good job of cracking the numerous terrorist groups, but there was little credible information they were anything other than amateur bomb makers at that point. Sorry. They blew some shit up that most rural teenagers in this country could have."

That is a complete nonsense and if you weren't so ignorant you would be embarassed for posting it.

Just because you are EXTREMELY ignorant to history doesn't mean that I am making it up. The African embassy attacks alone were an act of war and clearly not the work of a few basement bomb makers. Any American who didn't know who Bin Laden was well before 9/11 wasn't paying attention.

You're arguement is basically "I had my head up my ass while Bin Laden was attacking us repeatedly so it is OK that Clinton did too".

Sorry, that's not buying that shit.


"And stopping the genocide in Serbia? You want to whine about him doing that?"

Both sides were guilty of genocidial practices. The Serbs were guilty of being the side that was winning. Neither was bothering us. Why would we take it upon ourselves to pick sides? You think we didn't kill innocent civilians with all those bombs we dropped over there?

"The South will rise again, we have Viagra."

Do you know what Southerners call Northerners when they come down South? BOSS!

Most of us call them carpet baggers.

But I'll call them boss. That means I have a job.

Bit of funny.

In the court-house square of my home town, there stands a statue. As a kid, I was told that it was a confederate soldier.

Supposedly, though, the statue is of a Union Soldier and the Confederate version is in York, Maine.

The South will rise again, we have Viagra.

Bet that will get all the Southern women to shout out a big, ol' Rebel yell.


To quote Billy Idol:


With the Rebel Yell
She cried "more, more more."

Wear a Chargers jersey to a Raiders home game, tough-guy

I've worn an Atwater jersey in every stadium in our division. Twice at Arrowhead. No big deal. Mostly just smack-talk and good natured ribbing.

I'd challenge you to wear Celtic gear in the Ibrox, but I know the bobbies would stop you at the gate for your own safety, and I don't want you to die....I think...

Go to Lazio stadium in a Roma kit and you'll be knifed in the car park.

With the Rebel Yell

They actually do play that at Ole Miss games before kickoff. Last time I was there Sheppard Smith started it off.

"Wear a Chargers jersey to a Raiders home game, tough-guy"

Are Raiders crowds really that crazy? You hear alot about them and being from the East coast, I have to take people's words for it. But for some reason I just don't see putting on a Halloween costume to go to an NFL game as a badass activity. If anything, thats a little gay. I know Oakland is a rough town but I just can't Joe Buck's word for it that Raiders crowds are rough.

I went to the Giants-Raiders game at Giants Stadium this year and the Raiders fans were total clowns. The dude across the aisle in pretty much a full pirate costume didn't exactly scare anyone. But these were typical tools from NJ and not real Raiders fans so I can't really use them as a barometer.

Are Raiders crowds really that crazy?

Well I wasn't sitting in the 'hole'. It was pretty tame in the away club seats. There is a bar across the street from the stadium that had a bunch of douches in their momma's make-up. I avoided them. They has a gas powered weedeater converted to a blender. I thought at the time it takes a special kind of faggot to act tough whilst making a frozen drink.

Arrowhead had more assholes and a much rowdier crowd. Qualcom is a bunch of wine-sipping pussies.

"Arrowhead had more assholes and a much rowdier crowd."

But the best smelling parking lot in the NFL.

I hear next week, they're grilling Larry Johnson.

"There is a bar across the street from the stadium that had a bunch of douches in their momma's make-up. I avoided them. They has a gas powered weedeater converted to a blender. I thought at the time it takes a special kind of faggot to act tough whilst making a frozen drink."

LOL. Reminds me of a time I was at Stan's, which is the most popular bar by Yankee Stadium. There were these two redheaded twins wearing these half-jersey/half-t-shirts that look like pajama tops (I think the Mets are the only team that sells them). They were walking around the place trying to act like badasses despite being five foot two. I saw them trying to start with one guy who just couldn't stop laughing. At some point one of them had moved next to me and I look over my shoulder and see the little tool trying and failing to chug two Coors Lights from the bottles at once. I start cracking up and couldn't help but ask "Why wouldn't you just drink one real beer or do a shot instead of trying to look tough spilling those wine coolers all over your pajamas?". He said something about watching my back and stormed off but the people he was with seemed to enjoy the whole thing. Never understand what guys like that are thinking.

Taxes? No biggie. I had a great year.

Someone has to pay for the welfare red-states. You clowns cant seem to do it on your own.

Someone has to pay for the welfare red-states. You clowns cant seem to do it on your own.

even at the poorest, when my mother was raising three kids and working two jobs plus baking bread for extra money WHILE taking classes to earn her masters degree, we never went on welfare.

I don't need a fucking thing from you except your jobs. Just keep sending them on down, we'll keep filling them. You should maybe talk to the welfare mom that lives next door. She can't seem to manage to hit the grocery store, but man does she have a nice, new Dodge Charger.
