Don't Go to Ole Miss: IT'S A TRAP!

Those crazy kids at Ole Miss. See, their sports teams go by the name Rebels. So when they go looking for mascots, they think about famous rebels. At one point, they might have thought of Confederate warriors. Not this generation. Nope. There is a movement afoot to replace their current mascot with one other than Admiral Ackbar of Star Wars fame.

You might think this would cause all kinds of problems with Lucas, but maybe not. There was a post on the Star Wars Blog giving some encouragement although warning that, "Lucasfilm is flattered that our Star Wars fans at the University of Mississippi are considering electing Admiral Ackbar as their mascot. The last time we checked in with Admiral Ackbar he was leading the Rebel Alliance Fleet on a critical mission so it will be difficult for him to show up for the games!"

So go Rebels...but don't fall into any traps! I would love to see this guy on the sidelines!
