Ole' Miss Students Vote on New Mascot Today





These are three really bad options. Should have gone with James Dean if they wanted to keep Rebel as their mascot name. Because Rebel as they use it either stands for American Traitor or Racist. Hard to come up with a fitting mascot for either of those.

But, if they are just using Rebel, because that is their traditional name. Well, then they are Rebels Without a Cause.

I know why they're being forced to change it, but I still don't see what the big deal is. They're the Rebels, how many mascots can you honestly come up with for that? Make them change the name if the mascot is so offensive, because the mascot they had was pretty much the only one that works.

Yep. That is what I meant.

I really don't even have too big of a problem with it standing for their history. I mean the Civil War is still a big part of the South's history. Telling them they can't be the Rebels because it stands for treason, and making them shun part of their identity, is no different than what we did to Native Americans. But yes, the South should not take ANY semblance of pride (perhaps not quite the right word, but the right one escapes me) in their identity. The folks in Georgia should all think that William T. Sherman was a nice guy.
 


If they had the ability to choose Admiral Ackbar.... my God. I would seriously consider dropping my allegiance from the Hawks to the Rebels.

Damn Lucas and his insatiable desire to hold onto the rights of all things Star Warsy...
 


Colonel Reb was dropped not because he was a reminder of the Civil War but because he was based on the stereotypical white plantation owner.
 




wtf is hotty toddy? i freaking hate people from the south (transplants not necessarily included). to think that like less than 50 years ago african americans couldn't go in the same bathroom as a caucasian is grounds enough for me to be fine with the south being blown up or hurricaned out of existence. Especially Miss. and Alabama...I believe they are also the "fattest" states so I'm sure their people are sucking up my tax dollars while they suck up grits, McDonald's Triple Cheeseburgers (ya they still have those down there), and Mr. Pibb.

Down South Mr. Pibb is called a coke.
 




Nothing says Rebel these days like a Vampire. I think they should consider that instead. Just think...at day games he could even glisten in the sun.
 


Too bad "The Empire" never got serious consideration. It would be pretty cool to see people dressing up as Darth Vadar and Storm Troopers in the crowd. The cheerleaders could have dressed up in the Slave Princess Leia in that metal bikini.

BTW who wants to see a Slave Leia pillow fight!!!!

In a minor upset, students decided that none of those really represented the state of Mississippi and decided to go with..

With Adm. Ackbar officially nixed, Ole Miss turns to three mascot 'options' | CollegeFootballTalk.com

Narrowed down to three choices:

1) Land Shark (really? aren't they the "REBELS"?)

2) Black Bear (again...Rebels....)

3) Hotty Toddy (is that like Notti Boy?)

I'd be embarressed if I had a kid going there....even Adm. Ackbar or whatever his name was is better than THOSE...at least he was a rebel.


Thoughts?

I usually have one or two of these before any cold game.
 


IT'S A TRAP!!!*




Disclaimer, I cannot take credit for this bit of humor as it was one of the comments on the article. I just found it funny.
 


Man, just pay the licensing fee to the greedy Star Wars guy Lucas and use Admiral Ackbar. It would absolutely be the best mascot of all time.

And, oh, by the way, the 3 most recent Star Wars movies were absolutely awful. No humor, wooden dialogue, bad acting, etc. etc. Wretched.
