And the winner is: The Ole Miss 'Rebel Black Bear': "The new mascot of the University of Mississippi Rebels will be a black bear, officially replacing the goateed Southern gentleman 'Colonel Reb' who was banished from the sidelines almost seven years ago.
Thursday's unveiling of the 'Rebel Black Bear' is the latest move in the school's effort to distance itself from symbols of the old South."

The new University of Mississippi pseudo/silly "mascot"
finally offers an answer to the age old question, "What does a bear do in the woods?" First he devours Colonel Reb who was taking a stroll, dons some tacky polyester yuppie gear and then lumbers to the Grove and tries to pass (unsuccessfully) as the new Ole Miss mascot. Is anybody buying the ridiculous result of a seven-year
"Kill the Colonel" campaign? Rebel Black Bear is the ugly "animalfication" of political correctness run amok. It's a sad degradation of the heritage of a once-proud Southern Institution gone belly up...bear belly up!
