Ole Miss Students Will Vote On Changing Mascot

Beth Hall-USA TODAY Sports

Next week Ole Miss students will have the chance to vote on changing their current Black Bear mascot. Per The Clarion-Ledger...

quote:
Dion Kevin III, president of the Ole Miss Associated Student Body, said in a letter that students will be able to vote on the Landshark as the new mascot, which would replace the Black Bear mascot chosen in 2010.

“The Landshark as we know it today has its origins in football, but has since expanded to symbolize Ole Miss’s fight spirit and athletic prowess,” Kevin wrote. “On September 26th, we will all have the chance to leave a legacy of unity and excitement in a referendum vote in this year’s Fall Election.”

Any suggestions for a new mascot?

Ackbar is part of Disney now and no way they let Rebs get their hands on the franchise for free.

I think they should drape the most Mississippi looking redneck they can find in a rebel flag and have him whistle Dixie every time they score. You have to be true to yourself.

Pretty sad when your school spirit identity is in such turmoil that you are considering permanently changing your mascot to some flavor-of-the-week motto that has only been around for a few years.

This is just laughable at this point. Landshark? That's like LSU changing their mascot to the Chinese Bandits. It's ridiculous.
