Admiral Ackbar
The leader of the Rebel Alliance from George Lucas' "Star Wars" universe has become an Internet and blog darling now that Ole Miss students have voted to find a new mascot for its athletic teams. An Ole Miss group of Star Wars fanatics are promoting the pop-eyed Mon Calamari.
But anyone following the Internet traffic should know one thing: "It's a trap!"
Sparky Reardon, the university's dean of students, says the campaign will not be part of the official process to select a new mascot to succeed Colonel Reb on team sidelines.
Maybe the new mascot(s) should be ones who truly reflect the student body and general way of life at Ole Miss ... a drunk fraternity guy and sorority girl.
Introducing your new Ole Miss mascots, decked out in coat and tie and finest party dress, Fraternity Freddy and Sorority Suzy.
