Can we kill it? Preferably with fire…?

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

I'm glad "kill it with fire" is catching on.

….to amaze me when the so-called “professionals” at major networks f-up their research before putting a gaffe this major on for the world to see! Of course, it COULD just be a state grad at the chyron.

The saddest part is that the university WOULD handle it that way.

Instead of changing the name Rebels to something original – i.e., sharks, bears, stallions, etc. – the uninspired powers that be would likely just rip off the name of a conference opponent.

And then...

we could actually have a bison run across the field before each game, while we scream things like, “War Bison!!”

On the topic of mascots...

I would be up for the “Flood” again or something like the Mississippi Black Bears (as long as a teddy bear wasn’t our mascot)

Black Bears

would just get us accused of being even more liberal – or black folk may take offense? I dunno. I like the idea though of going back to our original, Flood, if we just have to change it at all. Sure beats Bole-weevil or Aardvark.

NO! NO! NO!

Changing mascots = laughing stock of the conference!

I still like "Landsharks"

I know the “landsharks” are in reference to the D, but why not? Hell they already make shark hats, I’ve seen them in the stadium. I could live with that.

Or if we really want to tie our mascot to a recent historic event how about the “FEMA Bureaucrats?” I’D be scared of that.

Flood

Flood = HORRIBLE!!!!

Geez, lets just go pay Arky State (or beat them) & steal their 5th new name (and lunch money). Cool colors, cool logo, cool animal, & the same number of syllables for our drunken faithful to slur….“REEEB-ULLLS” -→ “REEED WULVES”
