OK, pretend you are the guy who is hired to replace Pete Boone.

Notwithstanding your right to bear arms and blow your own brains out....

What would be the 1st 5 things on your priority list? (if you actually were not a State fan)

Here's mine

1. fine a young energetic coordinator (preferrably defense), tell him he had "x" budget for himself and his assistants. Take it all, or spread it out. You got 3 years to show improvement.
2. tell the movers not to take the wheels off my double wide.
3. tell the 75,000 incoming freshmen that they can have a degree and the right to urinate in broad daylight in their first semester if they can simply get Dickie out of jail.
4. Bring back the Confederate battle flag
5. bring back that assclown in the confederate uniform (not the disney character)

1. Hang the worlds biggest chandelier over Vaught-Hemingway.
2. Implement a 100% out of state policy for student athletes.
3. Change the uniforms to a replica of the confederate flag.
4. Start a pay-per-view 24hour non stop Hotty Totty sports network.
5. Sue Harvard till they change their name to Ole Miss of the North.

To make Ole Miss some confederate gray uniforms with rebel flag numbers similar to the houndstooth numbers alabama had on theirs only more distinct.

1) Contact the Gulf South Conference to ask for admission.<div>2) Use the money in the capital campaign to tear down the End Zone seating. This serves two purposes- a) it'll allow grass to grow in the South End Zone so they can go back to a natural field. b) You don't need that many seats in a Division II Program.</div><div>3) Either totally embrace the Confederate "Dixie" Col. Reb sort of thing, or totally disavow it and go a whole new direction (includes dropping Bears). This half-hearted stuff isn't making anyone happy.</div><div>4) Play The Mississippi State University every 4 years as our Homecoming opponent, so OM can make budget.</div><div>5) Use the $150 million fundraising program to rebuild OM's shattered academic reputation, so they can truly become the Harvard of the South (No, not the Harvard where Teddy Kennedy got caught cheating on an exam, and Papa Joe paid Harvard money to keep him in School, but the Harvard of the 19th Century where they were one of the top academic universities of the world). Well, becoming a Leftist Indoctrination Training Camp might not be a good idea either...how about the Hillsdale of the South, where a student receives a true Liberal Arts Education without one penny of Government assistance? The Athletic Department could go back to the original intent of collegiate sports, which is to provide an outlet for students to achieve physical fitness and learn the values of teamwork and sportsmanship.</div>
