Maybe less time making up names and more time working on football. Then maybe the high point of the program will not be a stupid name change.:p

I know it can't happen, but I kind of want the NCAA to penalize them an extra scholarship for the mascot. :cool2:

This is what you get when you let your undergrads choose your mascot for you. They can be a sarcastic bunch. Recall that the Oregon mascot is really not a duck. It is a geoduck, a very large, very ugly clam found in the mudflats along the Pacific coast. Again, chosen years ago by a poll taken of their students.

I think Ole Miss should go back to the Rebels. But instead of using Col. Reb, have someone do a whimsical drawing taken from ome on Matthew Brady's photos of dead Confederate soldiers on the Gettysburg battlefield. No politically correct critic could possibly say that a bloated corpse would glorify the Lost Cause. And a bloated corpse will be an accurate representation of their football program once the NCAA finishes with them.

This beats all I've ever seen. Landsharks? LOL! Even worse is that they truly believe they were in their "golden years" when this dumb landshark stuff started. Funny

They could've just combined the old with the new... although it was already copyrighted.

After 40 years, in our previous "World Domination HQ", and having not fulfilled that goal, we are building a new "World Domination HQ".

Maybe this time................except if it takes 40 years, well, not sure how I will still be here then, but I'll worry about that later.




(Haven't worn that shirt in almost 40 years. Mainly because it is 50% polyester. No, you don't want to know why. Just trust me.)

(Yes, it was a birthday present, one year, back in the day.)

If I recall, another Mississippi school (Delta State known as “The Statesmen”) allowed the student body to come up with a new mascot since the Statesman mascot, like Colonel Reb, had become politically incorrect.

Since the major color for the team was green, the students wanted something that was “southern, green and ugly. Hence you had “The Fighting Okra”.

Land shark is great mascot, as their Defense is about as scary as a shark on land, pretty lame. In the water sharks are deadly, on land not so much.
