Oh I have been waiting for the legal minds at Southern Appeal to weigh in on the recent "troubles".See Dear Chancellor Jones (looking at the comments we can hope some good ole Miss State and Ole Miss Smack will develop) and Of Leprechauns and Colonel Reb
In other tragic news we have to report that Powe mistakes Landshark, Ackbar for seafood buffet, devours them—Ole Miss to remain mascotless
Now what is interesting in all this if I am correct Ole Miss is still selling Col Reb stuff to which that have the trademark rights on. I am willing to bet even when there is a new Mascot Ole Miss will keep that gravy train going.

As an Ole Miss alum, it amazes me how long we can drag out symbol feuds. I also see no sign of them ending in the next 10-20 years. Dixie is obviously next to go, then Confederate Drive on campus, then the name Ole Miss for its connotations with plantation mistresses. If more people actually knew something about history, the Tigers name at LSU might go for its Confederate ties. I also think the Syracuse Orangemen (or whatever they are now) would have trouble justifying their glorification of William of Orange.
PS - Love your blog, despite the anti- Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) vitriol.
You are right about the whole TIGER thing. Heck it could go next.
