OXFORD – Rebel the Black Bear may be Ole Miss' mascot, but the school would just as soon have him not be in the spotlight Saturday.

At the end of each edition of ESPN's "College GameDay," which will broadcast live from the Grove on Saturday in advance of No. 11 Ole Miss' game against No. 3 Alabama, analyst Lee Corso makes his pick for the big game. A large percentage of the time that includes the head of the team's mascot.

Not so fast. This week, if asked, Ole Miss plans to give Corso the team's helmet. "That's what our team wears," athletic director Ross Bjork said. "It has our logo on it, and Rebel's head doesn't. We wanted our logo and that brand to be out there."

Very polite of him to act like he may need it I guess.

I'd give him the light blue helmet.

Does Corso usually go with under-dogs?

Mascot heads usually don't have logos.
Sounds like someone is either ashamed of his mascot or is worried about brand recognition.
Both are legit concerns, I guess.

Believe it or not Corso actually predicts the team he honestly thinks is going to win.

He just makes sure to do so in as maximum a trollish fashion as possible.

This is why Ole Miss should have been allowed to have Admiral Ackbar as their mascot. Talk about brand recognition. Imagine all the lulz to be had if Corso threw this thing on Saturday

I remember the first time we had Gameday. It's so cute how y'all are giddy over it.

$100 says we get about 5 threads on Friday that have bad cell phone photos of Herbstreit eating dinner somewhere in The Square.

I'm surprised the Ole Miss mascot isn't Rebel Polar Bear.
