Admiral Ackbar as Ole Miss mascot?

Could Ole Miss' next mascot look a little like this?!?!?!

Not really.

Ole Miss is going through a huge mascot mess right now. After suspending their "racist" mascot (Col. Reb) seven years ago, students are now going through the process of picking a new face for their athletic programs.

Admiral Ackbar (from "Star Wars" in case you didn't know) of the Rebel Alliance was floating around online today as a possible on-field mascot for the Rebels of Ole Miss. But the student body president says there ain't no way the fish-faced leader would be picked. It was dismissed as "comic relief."

But that's not stopping "Star Wars" fanatics at Ole Miss from promoting Admiral Ackbar as their new mascot.

RIP Col. Reb
