Rebel Roundup - 3/2/10

How about Tradition the Motorcycle for mascot?

Thanks for Joining us!
We're glad all of you new folks are here fighting your crusade for whatever reason you may be fighting it! Just be sure to read the disclaimer and learn to use the reply button. Thanks for sticking up for all of Ole Miss' super awesome traditions!

Tanner Mathis: A good start to Mustache March | Brandt
I participated in No-Shave November once. It was manly. Hopefully our baseballers who are participating in Mustache March can actually grow rad-ass mustaches because a lineup of dapper young men with bristly faceplows would be pretty damned cool. Oh yeah, and Tanner Mathis is pretty good at baseball.

Hugh Freeze Hired as Arkansas State OC | The Commercial Appeal
The former Ole Miss assistant and head coach of Briarcrest Christian School has landed in Jonesboro after a very short spell in ~~San Diego~~ San Jose (I'm am, and. idiot). As the offensive coordinator of the ~~Indians~~ Red Wolves, I would expect to see plenty of triple-reverses, flea flickers, and McClusterfucks coming out of their offense. Anything else would be a bit disappointing.

Combine Leaders | NFL.com
Here are the best results from the first workouts of the NFL combine. You'll see Dexter McCluster mentioned a good bit in the various running backs drills. Also, Tim Tebow is a freak athlete per the numbers, but we sorta knew that already.

Ackbar Backlash a Joke | San Francisco Chronicle
The title reads like "people who are anti-Ackbar are a joke" (a stance with which I fully agree) but the blog entry actually posits that there isn't much, if any, Ackbar backlash. There is, and the comments we've gotten over the last couple of days (thaaaaaanks!) are evidence enough. The author does say this, though:

And this blogger hopes it succeeds right smack in the face of Ole Miss alumns who need to be shaken out of their cultural comfort zone.

Kaboom.

I always thought Georgia Tech's car was kinda lame

but if you can get a heavy enough biker guy, with an awesome enough beard, with a respectable amount of tats, a bike would work much better

also his “woman” must be named “Rhonda” – this is non negotiable

San Diego?

Hugh Freeze’s short spell was in San Jose – you know like in central Cali – bay area. Just sayin.

Well, you thought wrong, asshole

Check your facts. This is a serious situation here.

If I predict it, there's an 50 percent chance it happens.

This is why nobody takes bloggers seriously!

R.I.P Colonel Reb

One guy said Ackbar looks like a talking turd! Haha!…Enough said…these Jedi mind tricks are getting out of hand..

Obsessing over a mascot in general is getting out of hand.

Colonel Whackbar

Ole Miss Turd Heads is kinda catchy?! I don’t think Shit Heads is politically correct?

by GeauxToHellLSU on Mar 2, 2010 12:07 PM EST via mobile reply actions

I don’t think Shit Heads is politically correct?

That’s probably not a question. If it is, then you are questioning your own state of mind, as in, “Do I think Shit Heads is politically correct?” Our opinions around here are firm and from the gut. We don’t tolerate none of your flip-flopping.

Whoa!

Simma down…it was just a joke…I thought it was kinda funny!? I know Colonel/Admiral Whackbar is a ploy from Yankee socialist fist-pumpers, but I also stand in my opinion that Colonel Reb will always be a symbol of the university…a sentiment shared by many other faithful alumni as well…

by GeauxToHellLSU on Mar 2, 2010 1:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

Here's where you went wrong:

I know Colonel/Admiral Whackbar is a ploy from Yankee socialist fist-pumpers

WAY false. The people behind Ackbar aren’t Yankee socialists. They are Mississippians as much as the rest of us. Would it kill you to just accept that there are people who aren’t hung up on Colonel Reb who go to school with you?

To Each His Own!

I’m just joking around. It really is a shame that this has to big such a big issue. I’m an alumni that doesn’t go to school with these people however. It was great watching Colonel Reb rush the field on gameday. If the kids these days want a new mascot, give em one! I’m not going to quit paying my alumni association dues! Honestly, I wanted them to pick…what was his name a few years ago…Brutus or something?..the younger more athletic lookin Colonel Reb…regardless what happens…there will never be a unanimous decision made on this issue.

by GeauxToHellLSU on Mar 2, 2010 1:47 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

That's a good point.

It will always be a controversy.

What he said...

…Bruiser suits me fine, but in my opinion, the admins will never go with him because he looks too much like the old one (in a broad-brush sort of way).
