I wonder, could this be some sort of ambush we're walking into?

I hope not.  Our internets can't repel memes of that magnitude.

It's a choice between Ackbar, a Riverboat Gambler or a Confederate Soldier. If the point of removing Ole Reb as the mascot is to more accurately not appear to uptight racist white assholes, which do you think works best?

If the women at Ole Miss are anything like the women at Southern Miss, its a bunch of fatties with superiority complexes.  Now that I think about it, Admiral Ackbar is probably the perfect mascot.

If you want to reflect heroes of the modern south, shouldn't it be Dale Earnhardt?

More like Bill France. Or better, Flonty Flock (since the name is better suited to the area).

Dale was from NC and then moved to NM so I don't think he every was a southerner.

Given those choices Admiral all the way baby.

Every true southerner knows that Dale Earnhardt single-handedly won the war for the south by defeating robot abraham lincoln with his bare hands shortly before he married his sister and lived happily ever after (until the whole fiery death bit).

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
