My friends who goes to school there told that same thing lol. It's definitely rigged. My buddy Dan said all the students he talked to voted for the Landshark and I think a ferry boat captain or something?

That's because you're racist.

I always heard that colonel Reb was based off colonel sanders older brother Gary.

His chin beard is an upside down kkk hat.
He's wearing kkk hoods as socks.

Only one of those photos has a live mascot in it.

I can't tell if it's trying to be ferocious or happy. It's an odd mixture for sure.

Honestly I think the Black bear is worst than colonel Reb.
If the university is trying to create a mascot to get rid of race issues, why would they choose ANYTHING with the word BLACK in it? I think that was a horrible PR move by OM. Plus some of my freinds who go to school there say Colonel Reb was biased off a black man.
I remember reading about the Ole Miss mascot awhile back. Their is one book by Sanseng that references one guy ,Frank Everett, as the source. All articles about the story link back to Sanseng's book.
Even then ,Sanseng, only states
quote:
Blind Jim [Ivy] may have been the model for Colonel Rebel
1)That doesn't sound like affirmative Yes to me
2) Considering all the shite going down at Ole miss at the time it sounds kind of revisionist.
The alternative names for the mascot contest were Massas (As in Slave Masters), Stonewalls, and Confederates. I think you knew What kind of Mascot you were going for from the start. Considering your choices for a Mascot, Why would you model him after a black guy. There are historians that dispute Sanseng version with even better sources.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Here is a picture of your old football guide. Your mascot looks like a leprechaun. It sounds like Ole Miss fans are trying to talk themselves into believing the story. If you believe you had a mascot honoring a Black Guy, why didn't you make Colonel Reb Black in the first place. Better yet, Why don't you bring back Colonel Reb and make him Black and Blind now. I'm kinda curious how Ole Miss fans would react to that.

A shark was a choice when they did the voting. But I think the voting was rigged by the administration. I feel the shark was voted a bunch. Buy they had their mind made up about the bear. Our administration can be stupid at times.
I voted for riverboat captain.
I don't know anybody who voted for the Black Bear.
