Get ready to be the laughing stock of the FBS.

I am not sure Lucas would be willing to allow that to happen.

I was thinking the same thing. He's got a strangle hold on anything Star Wars related.

Verizon is paying him buckets of money to use the name "Droid" on their phone.

That's exactly why I thought he might say YES. Lucas isn't making movies much anymore, and it's yet another revenue stream for an aging movie franchise.

On the other hand, I don't even think Ole Miss fans/administration are dumb enough to select Ackbar as a mascot. I hope this whole thing is a joke.

It should be William Faulkner

It's not like they'll be the Ole Mis Admiral Ackbars. They'll still be the Rebels, but a more modern, non-Confederate Rebel.


So you have either an old, white Confederate plantation owner or the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance from the planet of Mon Calamari. This isn't so much worse as let's say.....red turf?

How about the Rebs just become a consistent winner? And not waiting until the first Manning grandchild enrolls in Oxford.

Exactly. EWU is praying this happens to take away at least some of those pointing and laughing.

Also, this is probably the most PC-friendly idea they could use and still be the Rebels. I seriously doubt the Mon Calimari will protest this as they're in a galaxy far away and could be extinct for all we know.

Is there a better idea out there?

We can't repel firepower of that magnitude!

[Craneac Cowboy]

hahahahaha that would be funny... i guess the binge drinking at Ole Miss is finally getting to them. cant drink beer in the grove and now the admiral is the face of Oxford? hahahha

could you imagine if he was on the side of the football helmet?

So Ol' Miss is going to have a "Cause Without a Rebel?"....

[SuperHornet]

Which would be worse for a nickname/mascot: Admiral Ackbar, the Engineers, or the Banana Slugs?

(Boy, talk about a geographic split. Schools in Cali, MS, and NY. Wow.)

Jar Jar Binks would be the worst mascot.

Good point, Hen. Egad, that would be bad!

Good...I hope whatever they choose it creates a lot of headaches for the NCAA. The fascist NCAA deserves it.
