When I first heard this news late last night, I was concerned. Changing an SEC mascot? These symbols have been sacrosanct from time immemorial (if we limit ourselves to the “before memory” portion of the definition). Let’s have Toucan Sam start shilling for Trix while we’re at it.
The afore-linked ESPN article cleared the issue up for me. They’re still the Rebels, just in search of an on field mascot to replace Colonel Reb, who has been banished since 2003. All school symbols get the occasional facelift, so no need for panic.
However, should Ole Miss ever decide to go with a new mascot altogether, might I suggest the Mississippi Furies?
