Some folks are talking about this very thing at work right now. How embarrassing...as if the Rebel Bears name wasn't bad enough.

If they were serious about changing their name and identity they should have taken it seriously, put some real thought into it, made the decision and move forward. This has now long past become a joke and not the kind that Ole Miss can join in and laugh along. It's an embarrassment to their program and right now they don't need anymore embarrassment. This is like the cherry on top.

They should've just kept Col. Reb but made him look less like a plantation owner. I guess the alternative was to play up the colonel part and that wasn't likely to help undergraduate 'crootin either.

I told a buddy of mine who is an Ole Miss alum that they should consider Ole Miss Raiders or Ole Miss Red Raiders as their new name. It's pretty close to the "sound" of Ole Miss Rebels and IMO wouldn't be such drastic transition and change from mascot design, marketing and merchandising change etc. I guess someone thought Landsharks was a better name. LOL! Good for them!!!
