Colonel Reb, RIP OK, this kind of ticks me off. Joe just sent me an article saying that Ole Miss has ditched Colonel Reb as its mascot. There has been talk (as reported earlier on this blog) of trying to find a replacement, but the University is not even doing that. Ole Miss will simply have no mascot for football season, and will continue with no mascot until a new one is found. The article states that there are no plans to change the names "Ole Miss" or "Rebels," meaning that theoritically Ole Miss could end up with a team called the Rebels with something else entirely as its mascot (hey, if it works for Alabama and Auburn, right?--and I guess theoretically they could just get a different "Rebel" as a mascot... possibly James Dean or Princess Leia). I'm ticked off, and not really sure what to do about it. I've already paid my alumni dues for this year, so I can't refuse to do that. For some interesting reading, check out this Daily Mississippian article from just 9 days ago.
