Looks the ASB has voted to allow students to vote on having no mascot, or developing a new one...

Too much water under the bridge to bring back Col Reb. Yet, that doesn't mean he should be more gone that he is now. Just keep all like it is but if ya want some kind of mascot running around pick some animal to be the fun on the side line. Or have a different one for every team we play. Like when we play Usc gamecocks we could put Col Sanders on the side line. When we play Ga or Msu put M Vick on the side line. When we play Bama put a mouse on the side line. You can go on and on with bs like that.

Great White Shark!

I second that motion.

How about something that is truly Mississippi ( a catfish or maybe the "Red and Blues" Brothers to represent the music)

Fetch Monster

Cant go with the catfish. We would be called bottom feeder for life.

NO CATFISH!!!!

We should have a mascot....

How about a confederate soldier with a musket and bloodied bayonet? ESPN would have us on the mascot challenge for sure.

STOP the friggin presses...Chucky38 and Rebchuck18 agree on something! Either it is the perfect idea or the worst idea in history....

I'll vote for that. Hard to imagine how you could improve on that idea............ unless you had a whole army of them.

but the potential is unlimited..
1) unique mascot in SEC (maybe anywhere outside of SJC hockey)
2) what other campus could boast of having a shark tank and back it up?
3) recruits would eat it up
4) provide awesome vids for the 'tron pre game & during game (after every sack - now called shark bites - the tron would have a shot of REBEL tearing into his dinner, lots of blood!), imagine the sound bites from this
5) educational experience for the kids
6) and merch! stuffed sharks (wearing a rebel cap, in OM Tee, Rebel helmet), shark balloons (various types) fin hats, shark tooth chains, necklaces, charms, ear rings, tats. shark logo on polos (beats Ralph's pony hands down), Rebel shark halloween costumes, and of course a new OM Rebel Shark swim wear/beach line
7) Jimmy Buffet to sponsor the launch of Rebel with free LANDSHARK beer in the Grove
lastly, if ESPN gave us a bad time we'd just have to introduce them to REBEL - end of ESPN bobble heads 8)
I could go on, and on, and on.................
