Ole Miss picks new mascot: Rebel Black Bear
Published: Thursday, October 14, 2010, 12:45 PM
  Jon Solomon -- The Birmingham News

Introducing the Rebel Black Bear, the new on-field mascot for the Ole Miss Rebels. (The Associated Press)
It's official: The Rebel Black Bear is Ole Miss' new on-field mascot, the school announced today. The bear was the first choice of 62 percent of university stakeholders -- faculty, students, alumni and season-ticket holders -- who voted online. The other finalists: Rebel Land Shark (56 percent) and Hotty Toddy (42 percent).

The bear will replace Colonel Reb, who was banished from the sidelines about seven years ago as part of the university's attempt to distance itself from symbols of the Old South.

The co-chair of the selection committee told The Memphis Commercial-Appeal that the black bear "has a Mississippi connection, is timeless, appeals to children, is unique to the SEC and fits the other characteristics established in the initial focus group."

The bear idea was inspired by books from Oxford's Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner. In Faulkner's "The Bear," there is a black bear that symbolizes pride, strength and toughness.

So if you see a bear in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night or in Oxford in a couple weeks for Auburn-Ole Miss, now you know why. It's Bears vs. Elephants and Bears vs. Tigers for state teams in the weeks to come.
Maybe I could use the red hat to go as a burley bearded homosexual as the Ole Miss mascot.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
