“Forward Rebels” Group Still After UM’s Boone

The anonymous fan group known as Forward Rebels has placed another anti-Pete Boone ad in Mississippi newspapers today.  The group continues to angle for the dismissal of Ole Miss’ longtime athletic director.

According to Parrish Alford of The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, the ad asks, “How much money is Pete Boone costing Ole Miss? … Find out soon.”

While UM is making a push to raise $150 million — and claims to have already raised $40 million — the people behind the Forward Rebels ad claim that “Pete Boone and Co. are happy to ride inflation, increased student enrollment and new ticket taxes as successful fund-raising,” adding, “We disagree.”

The ad then calls for people to share with Forward Rebels how much money they’re withholding from UM due to Boone.  Future ads will no doubt feature claims of people withholding thousands upon thousands of dollars.
