Post by: Birmingham on June 28, 2010, 03:00:04 PM
Don't think there are any Ole Miss fans on this board but if there were they'd be shaking their head with a "wtf" look on their face.  This is the list of mascots that Ole Miss will be choosing from now that Col. Reb is gone and forgotten about.


HOTTY AND TODDY
The pair may be animals or original “muppet-like” characters, but completely unique to Ole Miss. They can get as spirited and excited as any Rebel fan, and they love to pump up the crowd.  And once we win the game, they will gladly be gracious hosts, inviting the other team to come back for more!

REBEL THE BLACK BEAR
In Mississippi, many stories that have been shared for generations center around our native black bear.  The legend of the “Teddy Bear” originated in our state when President Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a defenseless bear on a Mississippi hunt.

REBEL BLUES MUSICIAN
The Blues, a musical tradition birthed right here in Mississippi, is loved the world over.  And Ole Miss is the keeper of that tradition.

REBEL THE CARDINAL
The Ole Miss Cardinal would fit in perfectly in the grove on game days, and would reflect the pride and tradition of the Ole Miss Rebels.

REBEL FANATIC
Ole Miss fans go to extremes to support the Rebels.  With that in mind, envision a creative and original character (think Jim Henson, muppet-like creation) that embodies the fanaticism of the Ole Miss faithful.

REBEL THE HORSE
Rebels, more than anything, are free spirits.  Rebels lead the charge with strength and confidence.  Nothing portrays this sense of Rebel freedom, strength and confidence like a charging stallion.

REBEL LAND SHARK
The Land Shark is a result of an organic movement on campus and would be unique to the Ole Miss Rebels.

REBEL LION  (REBELLION)
The Pride of the South, already the moniker for the Ole Miss Band, best sums up the intense emotion Ole Miss fans have for all things Ole Miss. Within the animal kingdom, pride is most strongly associated with the Lion.

REBEL MOJO
A mascot is a team’s good luck charm, a talisman of sorts.  But there is another word with a similar meaning and with its roots deep in the cultural soil of Mississippi – MOJO.

REBEL RIVERBOAT PILOT
At the helm of the “Ole Miss” riverboat (a miniature landroving sternwheeler), the Riverboat Pilot would navigate Vaught Hemingway and incite the crowds to feverish levels.

REBEL TITAN
The Titans were the original Rebels. Prometheus, one of the Titans in Greek mythology, was a true Rebel who opposed Zeus, standing up for those who were not strong enough to stand up for themselves.

I have to say here that if we did not ascertain which one is the dumbest and then try to stuff the ballot box we would not be doing our job. 

I cannot figure out which one is the dumbest though.

At first I thought the Blues Musician was kinda cool but if they scrapped Col. Reb for the reasons of racial insensitivity than how long's it gonna take before the NAACP wants to discuss the overweight black man your school's using as a mascot?

If there is anything good and just with the world today, their new mascot will be the Land Shark.

Those have got to be THE worst mascot suggestions I have ever read.  Thank god I didn't go to Ole Piss.

Why don't they just make a muppet that looks like Archie Manning...hell Archie Manning could be the mascot he already looks like a muppet.

This is what happens when hippies go unchecked - we get fucking innundated with PC friendly mascots.

My suggestion for them is "Colonel Mudbug"; a goofy, red blob of foamy shit that gets the crowd all riled up with his crazy crab pinching antics on the sidelines.
