Mascot Discussion
Okay...seems on another board I've read today there's still a certain amount of aggravation over the Colonel Reb mascot, or lack thereof I might should say.

Many folks don't get that Ole Miss still owns the rights to the image (as well as the sales of said image) of Col. Reb. I don't ever see it going away. But what was taken away in 2003 was the big fuzzy-headed figure that roamed the sidelines.

If you remember they had a contest for new images to represent a new, more athletic and intimidating Col. Reb, both finalists being very embarassing. Others were submitted that were far better but were never considered officially. One of them is the logo used at rebelsports.net.

Now you've got sites like saveolemiss.com still pushing for the return of the old Col. Reb (which will not happen, by the way), and of course that causes a backlash amongst those on some boards who are all PC (some to the point you want to throw up on them) or are too ignorant to realize we do need a mascot.

That said, look at these attached images of FSU's Renegade and Texas Tech's Masked Rider. Boise State also has a masked rider. So I ask, couldn't we have an image of similar nature (see third attachment as an example0, maybe like a Southern Gentleman with an attitude, almost like a Wild West gunslinger or a Southern count?

Looking forward to other Rebels' opinions as well as those of anyone not an Ole Miss supporter but who might have something positive to add.
