Ole Miss won’t have Admiral Ackbar as a mascot, if George Lucas’ parsimonious and sentient chin-wattle has anything to say about it. The remaining three candidates for ill-advised plushification are “Rebel Bear,” “Hotty and Toddy” (we don’t know either), and ... “Rebel Land Shark”?

While we’re petrified that the good Doctor is correct and the most boring choice will out, there remains a small chance for bizarro costumed glory.

We’ve assembled some helpful ideas below. (And failing this, we will take the EDSBS suggestion of an alcoholic chafing dish with a gun and a catfish with a gambling problem for “Hotty and Toddy.”)
