OT: It wasn't crazy to have Admiral Ackbar as your mascot, it was just sports

That commercial was pure win. I wonder how much they paid George Lucas for it.
September 7th, 2010 at 5:15 PM ^
about as much as they paid Jacksonville state to lose...
September 6th, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
The conviction is what sold me. Glad we wouldn't have to play a team with Ackbar as a mascot.
September 6th, 2010 at 11:51 PM ^
all mascots are stupid. I am very happy M doesn't have a stupid person dressed in a costume.
In fact im now going to buy the mgoshirt with the wolverine on top of all the stupid mascots.
I suggest everyone do the same

I'm surprised people negged you for this. If I wanted to see someone in a big furry costume, I'd watch Sesame Street.
(Live animal mascots are pretty cool, however.)

They wouldn't have lost to Jacksonville State. He would have warned them that it was a trap.

Jacksonville State...IT'S A TRAP!

Totally made that joke to my roommates the second that commercial ended on TV and someone beat me to the punch here.
Great minds really do think alike.

That blonde cheerleader is hot
September 6th, 2010 at 11:58 PM ^
That was an epic commercial

So you want to be a mascot. Ask the kid in the Duck suit at Oregon this week after he had to do 500+ push ups after the all the points they put on New Mexico.
September 7th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
I have a friend who was the Texas mascot and said that they usually switch out personnel in the mascot suits every quarter because they get hot; so it wasn't one individual person doing 500+ push-ups, but each person probably had a lot to do.

I never could figure out the Admiral Ackbar connection to Ol'e Miss...duh...Ackbar was the leader of the REBEL fleet.
D'OH!
September 7th, 2010 at 10:45 AM ^
...I didn't catch that one either. Must be getting slow in my old age.
September 7th, 2010 at 9:05 AM ^
You are a part of the rebel alliance and a traitor.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:47 AM ^
...TAKE HER AWAY!
September 7th, 2010 at 11:14 AM ^
Anyone else notice that all the normal looking girls didn't want Ackbar and all the kids that looked, we'll call it "program-y," did want it? Do average 18 year olds even know who Ackbar is anymore?
September 7th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
I got a Rebel for them:

...This is what the Admiral would be saying:
[edit - pic removed due to server FAIL]
Anyway, the pic was of Ackbar saying "Our defense can't repel dilithium of the magnitude!"
