MTWillie Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I would just like to see any of you do what some of the mascots can do athletically. If any of you were that athletic, you wouldn't be on this site. I'm in no condition to post...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk!

If any of you were that athletic, you wouldn't be on this site.I'm sure a lot of those mascots are surprisingly athletic and they do some stuff I would never have the balls to even attempt, but that's not what anybody's talking about, we're saying that the Montana mascot looks goofy, no one cares about mascot awards, and Ole Miss didn't rip anybody off.

KCScout76 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I like the bear mascot it theory, but it just doesn't fit. At one time, black bears roamed the 'South', having lived in Arkansas, we'd see them from time to time. Even now in Missouri where I live, you don't see them in the wild.I know they are going away from the "old south-Jim Crow" image, but the bear doesn't fit.Sorry Ole Miss, my grandfather attended there and the "Colonel" Rebel is the image I have.

rams80 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I would just like to see any of you do what some of the mascots can do athletically. If any of you were that athletic, you wouldn't be on this site.Perhaps.Both mascots are anthropomorphized bears. That wear their school uniforms (or in Mississippi's case, formal attire as well). Not a hard idea to come up with. I'm sure many, many schools are organizations throughout the country/world would independently come up with the idea. I have measured your argument of rip off and found it wanting.

bigwalk Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The mascot's also a Faulkner reference, for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAVALIER Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Agreed. The bear seems incredibly forced. I think if they truly wanted to distance themselves from the Confederate South, they'd stop calling themselves 'Ole Miss' and simply go by 'Mississippi'. Not only would the the southern slang out of the school's name, it plain sounds better.Spoken like a true yankee.lol....this is a disgrace thos effort is an assasination of a university's identity....
