Biker, JB, thank you guys for serving too. We don't say that enough.

We hear about the last forty (40) years the Rebels roamin aimless in the wilderness - well I looked up what they did in the last 40 years: They were WINNERS, winning 21 and losing 18 one tie. Some bowl appearances within this period and WINNERS THERE AS WELL. SO BEFORE WE WRITE THEN OFF AS LOSERS LET US TAKE A RE EVALUATION. wishing them the best and good luck.

JB FLORIDA

My responses to your poll questions: "...campaign uncivil ... wrong venue"? Yes to both.

As to "...administration's abilty to unite ..base"? One party cannot solve a disagreement when there is no desire by the other party - and, to me at least, it appears the Forward Rebels (whoever these anonymous persons may be) group has taken the "my way or the highway" position. Moreover,though they purport to represent the view of true rebel fans, they don't represent this one and as long as they choose to hide we don't know who they are.

Finally, ""...move forward with...fund raising effort.."? The success of Ole Miss athletics programs depends much more on such efforts than on the changes these faceless folks demand. The campaign will, eventually achieve it's desired results. Perhaps not in the desired time frame and certainly with a less broad base of support.

As an aside, as a miltary veteran with near 30 years service in law enforcement, I realize that what little service I've provided helped to insure that folks could speak their mind. I would hope that my behavior has not inspired any of my family, friend, or neighbors to become involved with such anonymous group behavior. One of the values I tried to instill in my children was, "If you have something to say, don't send another to say it for you."

I missed the prediction post on Thursday. There is too much talent on the team for the Rebels not to improve this season, and I think we will figure out how to run an offense vs FSU. Rebels by 7, I hope.

I'm glad the Forward Rebels group got Jones attention, but I think they need to stand down now and see if he listened. I hope the coaches and admin are given some time to not Bleep up anything else. We still love Ole Miss, but the North endzone will stay bleachers for a few extra years because of Dr. Jones.

PA, no need for thanks for me...I was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Only mention it to reinforce my point. Hope you enjoy your day, tomorrow might be rough.

i am almost frightened for ole miss right now. this administration again and again and again have shown they dont care what the large majority of the ole miss family think. i feel a building of anger among the people and nothing will be done to address it. i really dont know how it will affect the fund raising-i would think it isnt helping.

Be sure and tell Gold Man and Silver Michael Jacksin that Dos says hi. Lol! I suggest getting on the bus and train system and just go. You cant get lost and pretty much everywhere is safe, especially in daytime. Take her to the 60's with Haight/Ashbury district. Go see the "sailors" in the Castro. If you like to walk, you can hit the steps at that beautiful church tower you see from your hotel. Man ita so much fun, I wish we were with ya. Instead of paying all that money from a boat ride to the golden gate or alcatrez, just catch the ferry across the bay for $8 and have lunch across the bay and see the gg and alcatrez on the way. Leaves from sf ferry terminal near pier 1. Have lunch or dinner at scoma's.

Pa, you gotta take her to Scoma's on Al Scoma way. It's a very popular local hangout of SF. Its old school first class, not too pricey. Make a reservation (u can also wait...I think we waited about 10-15 minutes. Dont be surprised if you see a famous face or a writer you like.

"Do you agree with Jones that the campaign against the administration is not civil and is the wrong venue for debate, and what is your confidence level in the administration's ability to unite the fan base and move forward successfully with its $150 million fund-raising effort?"

Does anyone ever agree with Dan Jones, or does he just do what he wants?

My confidence level with the current administration uniting the fan base is at about the temperature of Antarctica. Being that the current administration has lost around 90% of the fan base with all the changes. Add 5% of currently enrolled students that probably do support the administraion because they don't know any better. Those students are not part of the working society yet, and do not belong to the University Alumni.....so no help from them. The remaining 5% that care neither way about the traditions of the University cannot deliver on such a fund-raising effort. Good luck trying to get blood from a turnip.

Dos, thanks a lot. Local info is always helpful. What are your top places to eat around Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square?

Duece, thank you for your thoughts and for your service to our country.

PA, you must take her to the SF Museum of Modern art. Dont forget your jacket, its cold over there. Lol! The golden gate bridge boat goes around Alcatrez really close. You might not want to pay twice. Walking Alcatrez is not fun. Also, stay away from grey line tours. SF has excellent public transportation. There is no bad part of town. Get momma some dim sum. Oh, be sure to spin the wheel before going to the aquarium on pier 39. You can win a free ticket or discount. The Remington house is really cool, as well. You may know all this, but thought Id help ya out.

Zero confidence PA...now they may pay down the 150 Million with the support of their fine upstanding donors similar to old Dickie Scruggs, but truly uniting the fan base? The T-Shirt and cap crowd, the old school traditionalists and the yes man liberal elitist? Nah, thats a splinter that will not heal.

Also, I have followed each ad, and facebook post from the group Forward Rebels... I have seen nothing uncivil or unseemly. One sees much worse on here. Furthermore, if Jones and his crew did not take the attitude they have, it may not have resulted in this.

They are highly paid public officials are they not? The people have every right to ask hard questions as well as demand results. How someone can condemn a group for what I have seen as a clean campaign is beyond me...I tell you I lost some respect for Archie. BTW, this statement about "it will get ugly"? Please elaborate mr jones, was this directed at you from this organization or just some random guy? It could also mean many things...the least of which I would think is any kind of physical harm, may be he is referring to a sharp decline in season ticket sales, that could be considered ugly couldnt it?

I didnt spend over a year of my life fighting in some hell hole on the other side of the world so I could come home and listen to highly paid public officials whine about being called out by ads in a newspaper. Thats part of what makes this country great buddy, learn to deal with it and grow from it or retire and play gold the rest of your life.
