(at least, compared with what I was expecting) It looks like a cross between the Greenbrier and a Red Roof Inn.<br /><br />I think I found an example of one of the rooms decorated by alums. This one (on Tripadvisor) looks like someone spent HUNDREDS of Dollars 'decorating' it.<br /><br />Is there a term I should google, to find pics of more of these rooms?<br /><br />In any event, I agree that this censorship of the school's old symbols, is a slap in the face, to people who have supported the school, and who are a part of the school's history. "Just give us your money. And shut up about your stupid history, and your stupid traditions. You're nothing. But give us your money. You've been replaced. Your school is no longer yours. You're nothing. Your history is nothing. But give us money, anyway."<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-70944344689692649222016-11-04T09:47:28.689-05:002016-11-04T09:47:28.689-05:00@12:30.

For an exorbitant fee, wealthy alumni could "purchase" a room and decorate it with all their photos and memorabilia. Whenever they would come rent a room, they would get to stay in "their" room. Since wealthy donors are generally older, it would make sense most of their pictures and memorabilia was from a time when the school sold or handed out flags and/or items with Col Reb proudly emblazoned on them. It seems a little gutsy to tell donors who put up 5 or 6 figures to "purchase" a room, that all the football memories of their college days are too racist to be allowed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-81997676723644441532016-11-03T21:24:32.627-05:002016-11-03T21:24:32.627-05:00Cohen!!! hell yeah!!! not sure why we had to pret...Cohen!!! hell yeah!!! not sure why we had to pretend for two weeks. he is the man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-8618970544187338812016-11-03T16:14:06.123-05:002016-11-03T16:14:06.123-05:00@11:33 why would he leave?

Gah I'm too stupid to figure out how to leave this rascistr dump with their confederate symbols that keeps them in the Stone Age, says all the tool bags. Actually, Mississippi isn't so bad if you are a decent person with decent morals (low morals = high problems). I moved to Nashville then Houston after college and I'm back home baby and loving it. Just because 40%+ of our population lives like wild animals that don't even care about bettering the lives of even their kids doesn't mean we all live like shit. Many of us have great lives with great property at reasonable cost (low debt). Someone who never goes to the gym would never have ended up with the head turning old lady I have.

That occurred through an act of congress following Lincoln's Unnecessary War. <br /><br />Lincoln had no authority to free any slaves in The Confederacy, so he neither freed them there nor anywhere else. Slavery remained legal in Mississippi until, following The War, an act of Congress abolished it through constitutional amendment, not before. <br /><br />A variety of official Confederate Flags flew during the years of war and only one of them was 'The Stars and Bars' and not 1 in forty of the bed-wetters here can identify it. <br /><br />The day after Mississippi seceded from the union of states another flag flew over the capitol in Jackson and the symbol on that flag remains part of a certain state flag (not the Mississippi flag). <br /><br />But, back to the Innkeeper who has decided to ban certain symbols....I challenge him/her to go a step further and ban use and portrayal of the words Rebel and Ole Miss since both are throwbacks to civil war days.
