Breaking news from FOX regarding the Ole Miss mascot

[Ole Man Dan]

Mississippi Mud Cats would have been better.
The Dance Line could have been 'The Hush Puppies'

 

[Harmost]

I'd go with Ackbar.

He's wily and he knows about traps.

 

[Tidewater]

Yeah, so is the "Fighting Okra":smile:

That would have been my second choice.

 

[UAME]

How about the Ole Miss Super GROVErs??

 

[Rasputin]

Yeah, so is the "Fighting Okra":smile:

As a former GSC player/coach we definitely have some interesting names...

Southern Arkansas "Muleriders"

Arkansas Monticello "Boll Weevils"

Delta State "Fighting Okra"

just to name a few...

How about the Ole Miss Super GROVErs??

Like the idea. Love the name. However, This picture of SuperGrover seems fishy. I seem to recall him wearing a red cape. The Seasame Street this pic came from must have been in San Fran.

Can't leave out the Arkansas Tech "Wonder Boys".

I won't switch teams or anything that drastic, but Ole Miss will move to a solid #2 Favorite for me in the conference if they actually choose Admiral Ackbar as their new mascot. I will buy merchandise, everything....


J

I would have to buy some a couple of shirts too.

 

[Bama323]

It looks like Admiral Ackbar is the clear front-runner at the moment. This is absolutely hilarious...

How about the Ole Miss Super GROVErs??

That's a good one, Grover is my favorite, I have two of them, a big one from Macy's a few years ago, and a smaller one from Seseme Place.

I'd go with Ackbar.

He's wily and he knows about traps.

But can he stop the inside trap?:cool2:

ITS A TRAP!!! lol

 

[tidepreacher]

Perhaps the students put out a ridiculous option for the new mascot in order to force the university to go back to the old mascot

 

[AlistarWills]

I'm sure LucasFilm will have nothing of Admiral Ackbar being the Ole Miss mascot. But since we're throwing things out, how about the "One Armed Bandits"

 

[bmcklv]

I guess they'll have to change their name to the Ole Miss Anti-Establishmenters.

 

[mittman]

My limited imagination can only come up with:

Creeping Kudzu

 

[kausman]

My vote is for the "Ole Miss Bandits"

 

[9jack9]

They could refurbish the Col Rebel mascot costume and make the new mascot William Faulkner. Or maybe another famous native writer. Truman Capote?

 

[deltatider]

Yeah, so is the "Fighting Okra":smile:

Delta State is officially the Statesmen, but at all football and basketball games; there are 2 mascots....one dressed up like a Statesman, and the Fightin' Okra pictured in the link. A girl I went to high school with was actually the Fightin' Okra for a couple of games our senior year. Although I admit, I never refer to Delta State as the Statesmen, its always the Okra for this guy!!!!!!!!:biggrin::BigA:

 

[bama_fan01]

Unfortunately, "Banana Slugs" is already taken.
UC Santa Cruz let their students vote.

But...UC Santa Cruz is DIII...there could still be The Ole Miss Banana Slugs in the SEC! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
