I do not understand this at all. 

I get they don't want to use the Col. Fine. 

But where is the landshark thing from for them? How is that in any way connected to the University of Mississippi. What am I missing?

Again, no matter what your thoughts on having a Landshark as a mascot are, the biggest point is that Ole Miss made the efforts to get it done right. Tony is here and it’s clear he’s not going anywhere. And if the performers that jump into the suit are able to be as athletic as they expect, Tony will become popular with the fan base. It’s going to be hard for the kids not to fall in love with a shark who can dunk a basketball or surf over the crowd at The Pavilion. The more Tony is able to do, the more hearts and minds he’s going to win over. It’s really as smart of a strategy as anyone could have thought of.

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/nation-world/ole-miss-unveils-its-new-landshark-mascot/507-583641504

The first step was to assemble a Landshark launch committee made up of leaders from the student body, spirit squad, sports administration and marketing team.

“The idea of, ‘Look through the catalog, oh let’s pick that shark,’ that wasn’t going to work,” Michah Ginn said. “We wanted this to be a landshark that had never been seen before, a character who had never been seen before, and put a whole lot of detail and thought and intentionality into the design of the Landshark.”

An Ole Miss spokesperson told the Clarion Ledger the whole venture, including branding, a new website, costume design and multiple costumes, cost somewhere between $50,000 to 75,000.

Ginn described Clarkson tinkering with the number of teeth in the mask—too few and it looked goofy, too many and it was terrifying—and studying pictures of Santa Clause to determine what wrinkle patterns around the eyes would make it look the right amount of friendly.

One of the first things the Landshark launch committee decided on was the Landshark's personality. O’Connor has worked, and will continue to work, with the mascot performers on implementing that demeanor and walk.

“We have to have a walk that showcases him as kind of an athletic jock,” O’Connor said. “There’s a way that athletes walk through campus, so we kind of played off that kind of walk.”

Well the shark does have one thing going for it that the bear did not. 










Since Katy Perry is an Ole Miss fan she can always hire it as a backup dancer once Ole Miss fires him after a couple of years.

As much as I hate ole miss and am amused by this abomination it should be noted: 

The vast majority of students, alumni and fans opposed this freak of nature.  It’s theirs now so they are obligated to defend it but they did not ask for it.  They didn’t want the stupid bear either. 

Nay, it was a wispy, triggered cabal of academic ‘elites’ (who are in my experience some of the dumbest, least productive/valuable people in this country) who caved to real and imagined pressure from a small but vocal swarm of social justice agitators who have no affiliation with or affinity for the school. 

If they don’t fire everyone involved in this travesty? They get what they deserve.
