State Rep. Mark Duvall, D-Mantachi has introduced a bill requiring Ole Miss to bring back Col. Reb and play ‘Dixie’ at its football games.
Thank God the Legislature is solving all the State’s important problems.
Forget the whole Col. Reb/Rebel Black Bear argument for a moment. I know all of you have your opinions on it. But even if you think Col. Reb is the greatest thing since canned beer, do you really think the Legislature is the one should decide the issue? Don’t you think they might have better things to do? Education, the State Budget and all those other pesky state functions are now fixed so they can now be diving into other stuff. What’s next? Will someone file a bill to ban cowbells at Mississippi State? Should the USM Golden Eagle get a Legislative update and be made to look like the eagle on the Capitol dome?
Rep. Duvall said on Channel 16 last night that he was doing this because his constituents want it. I’m sure they do. But I there has to be a point when a representative says, “This is a question better answered in another arena.”
The best part to me is that Rep. Duvall is a State Grad.
