SB Nation Reporting Akbar to be New Ole Miss Mascot

I didn’t realize this, but apparently Ole Miss caved to obvious PC political pressure and retired Colonel Reb, their mascot, in 2003.  So now the school is looking for a new mascot and—unfortunately—letting the students have a say in who that mascot will be.  Yes, the lead vote getter is none other than Admiral Ackbar, one time commander of the Star Wars rebel alliance fleet.

 

So… first Lane Kiffin and now Admiral Akbar.  What in the world is going on in the SEC?
