Around SBN: A Miracle Squared: Celebrating The Greatness Of Bo Jackson

A MEETING OF THE OLE MISS MASCOT COMMITTEE, 10/14/2010

800px-olemisslyceum_medium

A group of five students and various administrators sit down in the Archie Manning Conference Room in the Archie Manning Student Center, located at the corner of Archie Manning Drive and Archie Manning way. Athletic Director PETE BOONE walks in and gestures for all to sit. 

Boone holds up a cardboard cut out of Archie Manning's head. 

Boone: Archie Manning

Room: ARCHIE MANNING. 

Boone: We don't have much time, so I'd like to get right down to business. What have you decided about our new mascot, ladies and gentlemen? 

Student Chairperson: What? I'm sorry. I was--

[The chairperson's eyes are bloodshot red at nine in the morning.] 

Boone: Yes?

Student Chairperson: I just don't get up this early, usually. Sorry.  

Boone: ....

Student Chairperson: Do you have anything to eat? 

Boone: Please, we don't have a lot of time, and I have a pressing situation to attend to. 

Fifty miles off the coast of Mississippi, Houston Nutt stands on an abandoned oil platform wearing a tin crown and holding a blunderbuss. He is talking into a cellphone very loudly. 

Nutt: It's mine, Pete! All mine! No taxes! No FOIA requests! You tell those dadburned rapscalawagabums to bring the stadium to me! THE SOVEREIGN KINGDOM OF HOOTINDALEARANIA HAS BEEN BORN!

Back to the conference room. 

Boone: [rubs eyes , looks miserable] 

Student Chairperson: So, we chose Ackbar. 

Boone: I told you that was---

Student Chairperson: SIKE! Just fuckin' with you, dude. It's the bear, just like it was supposed to be. 

Boone: [Sighs.] Okay, then we've decided. Thank you for your "work" here, and know you've helped Ole Miss move into the future with confidence. Gladys, please have the art department contract some initial work---

Student Chairperson: [giggles] 

Boone: I'm sorry, aren't we done here? 

Student Chairperson: We already have some sketches done, sir. 

Boone: Really? You understand, that, um...these would already be the property of the university by definition, and that we could use them without any unnecessary---

Student Chairperson: Hey, Pete. Chill. Dad owns like five HVAC wholesalers. We're never going broke. God, I'm hungry. 

Boone: So what is this proposed mascot? 

Student Chairperson: Hey, Jessica, if you could just hit the projector there---

A projector flickers to life. The Chairperson turns off the lights.  An image appears on the wall. 

Star-divide

Student Chairperson: Ta-DAAAA! You're welcome.

Boone: I love it!

Boone's assistant: He's so jaunty! 

Student Chairperson: That's one word for him! 

Boone: He'll need some tweaks, of course. 

Student Chairperson: I was going to recommend some candy, you know, to make him friendly to the kids. 

Boone: That's a great idea! 

Student Chairperson: And a van, to give him a kind of themed vehicle. Preferably a windowless one to save on repair costs. You never know when an opposing fan is going to wing a brick or some shit. 

Boone: I'm really impressed by your work here. This is what we're going with. Ole Miss is going to be proud of what we've done here. Gladys, open the checkbook and start writing. We need this on all kinds of branding: t-shirts, banners, websites, everything. I've got to go, but you've got a real future here, son! 

Student Chairperson: Archie Manning, sir! 

Boone: Archie Manning! 

Boone and others leave. The Student Chairperson picks up his cellphone and dials. 

Student Chairperson: It's done.

Mullen: The wire transfer will be in your account by noon today. Destroy this phone. Your plane ticket is in bus station locker #48 at the Greyhound stop in Oxford. This number is being disabled. I suggest you make your stay out of the country a long one. 

Student Chairperson: Ha. There's a cool new country in the Gulf I can go to. 

Mullen: Well, watch it. It might get crowded out there on that oil platform. You know how he is about oversigning new recruits.

But my favorite explanation remains

The vote was...weird.

They actually voted on all three of them, using a Likert scale. For each one, they had to say whether they loved it, liked it, could accept it, or didn’t like it. So those percentages are based on that. Example: 38% may have said they disliked the bear. They could have combined love, like, and accept to total 62% (which I’ll bet they did).

I’m in the middle of a survey research write-up. I haven’t figured out how to make statistics snarky yet.

we’d be the only SEC school with a bear mascot. Yeah there are plenty of bear mascots and plenty of actual bears in the southeast US. The SEC has a hound dog, an alligator, a Commodore, a wildcat, a hog, a chicken, an elephant, 2 tigers* and 2 bulldogs. Just adding a bear to the mix.

Well, not just those.

There are in fact TWO subspecies of black bear in Mississippi;
American black bears (Ursus americanus) are found in north Mississippi. Louisiana black bears (Ursus americanus luteolus) are in the southern part. The Louisiana subspecies was listed as “federally threatened” in 1992, but the whole population was listed as “endangered” in 1984.

In all seriousness, someone on Facebook had an idea…a percentage of merchandise sales should go to black bear habitat preservation. There are several organizations working in that area.

change the pants color to red,

put a “rebel” flag in one hand and a red solo cup in the other, then you have perfection.

This would be awesome:

Yeah,

it’s really frustrating that more Ole Miss students would bitch and moan about a mascot than say “hey, Bill Clinton’s on campus, that’s neat.”

Congrats,

You may have just handed that election to Alan Nunnlee!

*Hint: the guy behind Willie is Travis Childers (D), 1st District Congressman. His seat’s kind of (read: REALLY) in danger from Nunnlee the Republican.

Now you are just "MISS"

The hell with you panty-waste bear huggers. On the (fomer Ole) Miss athletics site there is a section marked “Traditions” – feel free to toss that.
   Being ashamed of your heritage, however it might have rankled others, which gave you a common point of pride with your history has removed your charm. You had to apologize for the Battle Flag, and then apologize for the fight song. Now even Ole Col. Reb gets the ax.
   I’m a graduate of the former Citadel and I know how it feels when your school turns its back on its history and its graduates, and you are no better.

Where once I cheered for you, I will be a permanent cowbell fan, and even cheer for the Vols when you meet. You should leave the SEC in shame and try to join the Mid-west-Pac sportswriter-approved knitting circle of the week. But don’t claim to be “Ole” anything, anymore. You are just “Miss.”

right there with you, sir

i actually liked ol Col Reb, too. People who look @ a Confederate flag and immediately see racism are as misled as people who use a Confederate flag as symbol of racism. hell, down here, my county has been under the Spanish, French, English, Confederate, and US flags. something will mean whatever one lets it mean.

You can't get there, from here.

Leave the SEC in shame...

Because they acknowledged that as a tax-payer funded institution, they probably shouldn’t be covered in iconography that offends lots of tax-payers? Quelle horreur!

You all went this whole thread without posting this?

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
