As Ole Miss has changed, once again, their mascot, it has caused confusion for everyone. Something has to be done to refer to Ole Miss by a nickname that everyone knows is associated with Ole Miss. The only reasonable solution is to combine all three mascots. They should go in order of most recent to least recent, reflecting the more current mood of the school. With that approach, I would suggest this:

1. Under - whether on land (under the sky) or water (under the sea), a land shark is always UNDER.
2. Bear - the Black Bear is a type of BEAR.
3. Rebel - To most people, Ole Miss is and always will be the REBELS.

So, we have Under Bear Rebels. UnderBearRebels. UndBearEbels. UnBearEbels... Unbearebles...

The UNBEARABLES. Ole Miss should now and evermore be called, fitting with both the way they see themselves through their mascots, and the way the rest of us see them, The Ole Miss Unbearables.

Kinda walked a twisted path to the ending there, didn't you?

Still, there are worse names than the Unbearables. They could preach making life difficult for everyone else.

I thought of it when I could hear the sounds "bear" and rebels" in my head and came out with "bearable". The hard part was trying to get "un" out of "land shark". That was the best I could come up with.

I like the thought, but the execution is lacking.

Pay no attention to the Confederate imagery behind the curtain.

It's not behind the curtain, it's drunk off it's arse and screaming in the Grove.

I feel like I watched a Rube Goldberg contraption go off and it was oddly satisfying. Have an up vote.

“Slaveshippers” or “The Slaveship/Slaveshippers”. Historically accurate if that’s what they are going for.
