They are replacing their mascot, not the nickname. Rebel the Bear was their mascot. As beloved as Bleauteax was by Marquette.

Maybe we should change our Mascot to the "Ball Nipper".

They are having as much luck as Marquette in keeping a mascot.
QuoteThe as-yet named Landshark will replace Rebel the Bear, who was selected as the Ole Miss mascot in 2010. In 2003, the university retired Colonel Reb from the field in an effort to move away from symbols of the Old South.
Perhaps we should move on to Coneheads?

Wasn't there movement for Admiral Ackbar? I think it should be reconsidered.

+1. Though I think it was the Mon Mothma-styled cheerleading outfits that torpedoed the first effort.
