New Ole Miss Mascot? Admiral Ackbar?

Well, it's not actually earth-shattering news, but the Ole' Miss student body is voting on a new mascot (seems some think Johnny Reb is a little...objectionable), and Return of the Jedi's leader of the Rebel military forces is a leading candidate. Don't know how George Lucas would feel about this...or his lawyers. But it was actually something fun and funny about college football. You remember how it was...before the dark times...before the Empire...
Feel free to put in your best "It's a trap!!!" jokes here now...

Yes, both threads have an almost identical concept. But the other thread has evolved into a treatise on racial imagery in the modern south (you know, with a fish alien thrown in), and this one is more Ackbar centric. I love the internet.

So my IPhone spell correct doesn't like "Ole" ;-P.

Lando: Move in closer to the Auburn Tigers
Ackbar: We can't possibly sustain claws of that magnitude for long!
Lando: We'll last longer than we will against that Crimson Tide!
