Title: Vote for Ackbar
Post by: Chuck to Chuck on February 25, 2010, 09:36:14 AM
Ole Miss is in the middle of a movement to replace their old mascot -- Colonel Reb -- after the school decided they wanted to update their image. (http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/24/admiral-ackbar-mississippi-university-mascot/#ixzz0gU7NagoT)

Tuesday, the students voted in favor of crowning a new mascot to represent Rebel Nation ... and the favorite so far is none other than the most famous Mon Calamari in the entire universe.

Several pro-Ackbar websites have recently emerged -- making the Admiral the heavy favorite. The University tells us the decision on the mascot is entirely in the hands of the student mascot committee. The University will hold a vote in the near future -- we'll keep you updated.

George Lucas is going to demand half their endowment fund for this.

However, since said fund probably consists mostly of Corn Nuts, I think both sides might take the deal.

I'm not gonna lie. I would totally start rooting for Ole Miss if they do that.

Agreed.  I'd probably buy a shirt and a hat or something.  Isn't Ole Miss on CBS most weekends anyway during the college football season?

Nope. You were looking for Florida or LSU. Florida or LSU.

Sometimes, you can get a smattering of Auburn and Alabama too, IIRC.

QuoteOfficials say there's virtually no chance the fish-faced leader of the Rebel Alliance in the movie could become the on-field mascot for the Rebels of Ole Miss.

    The Associated Student Body president dismisses it as "comic relief."

I think, at most, one of them.  If someone or some robot were to save him, they
might have to shut them all down.  But I'd suggest they just let them keep on
mashing.

But...I want them to keep mashing.  I just want the Associated Student Body president hacked up and thrown into all the garbage mashers, where he will be mashed.
