ESPN Ole Miss Star Wars Commercial

[rockbot96]

they should be the mudcats



[andyhughes61]

Don't really know if anyone notices but the south is kinda big on tradition. The mascot doesn't have to be considered a racist symbol just keep it traditional or nothing at all. I think something like Admiral Ackbar would just make other schools to poke fun at the university of mississippi.

[oakleygear]

Bring back Johnny Reb !

[lukewmiller]

It's a trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!1!

[MrWoodson87]

Ackbar for president 2012

[bginn5150]

I agree... Akbar for Mascot!!!

[Crowster12781]

Maybe if they had Ackbar right now, they'd win some games...

[schlong19]

"in oxford the things we are known for are football, the square, and ole miss"

1. Football, haha not really. maybe Archie.....wake up. Archie was 40 yrs ago

2. The Square- where girls spend Daddy;s money

3. Ole Miss- ....uh yea without Ole Miss, Oxford would be the town that Leatherface from Texas chain saw massacre lives....

Go JSU and Vandy!

[Jackpotxx]

Where can i get that shirt?

[MysticSonic007]

for once u can actually say, the nerds make the news XD

but i really think this is a cool idea that's just a little TOO perfect XD

[Krytha]

How is this even a question. OF COURSE HE SHOULD BE THE MASCOT.

[yamale53085]

Does anyone know where I can I get the t-shirt with Ackbar in a Red Rebel Hat?

[drewsky684]

I think ackbar could be come the unofficial mascot for years to come. I can imagine ackbar shirts and masks way down the road

[nlee010]

It's a trap!

[PeteyMcHappy]

I love how all the people they show supporting Ackbar are nerds and all the ones they show that are against him are hot girls. How stereotypical.

[Razrback26]

Whoever you guys decide to make your "on the field leader" maybe he/she can double as the coach as well!!! Vandy??? Didn't their coach quit a couple of weeks before the season? I'm just saying!

[ZMclovinFan64]

It's a trap!

[pdubbs1011]

He's a Mon Calamarian

[MCPOJohn]

as soon as i saw this ad i thought ITS A TRAP!!!!!!

[groton27]

So Ole Miss is never going fall for Trap Blocking ever again.

[pmfink]

"It wouldn't do this town justice" ????? You cannot be serious.

[Ihatehorses12]

I say Dexter McCluster for Ole Miss Mascot... that guy was awesome.

[diegoreds]

"Its a Trap!" Ole Miss at Mississippi States home field.....Yosemite Sam?????

[ItsLemur]

this is stupid

[swankpaul]

Known for football!??? lol!

[swankpaul]

Does this mean that ESPN is going to do two commercials on Jacksonville State?

[maizeandblueheart]

Ackbar is awesome

[rudeabaga1]

@blumkinonside It was for a while but no one voted for it.

[gagoon5596]

LOL!! "...Is a trap!..."

[kikeyanez]

dat guy with the yellow bandana look hella weird he looks like the hunchback of notre dame

[syoungrunner]

play action...IT'S A TRAP

[OleMissRebel44]

Can't we have the original Colonel Reb back?

[drummerboysareawesom]

@OleMissRebel44

DENIED!

[troussin11]

For all of you people that hate George Lucas, he HAS given them permission to us Ackbar as the mascot. Its the school that is trying to make this into a joke. Fight the powers that be!!! It's not a trap!!! WE WANT ACKBAR!!!!

[matthart1987]

@troussin11 We have a mascot nerd, his name is Colonel Rebel. We don't need another mascot, you freak.

[annacarter12]

cool

[annacarter12]

hey

[annacarter12]

hey its not good

[crowedizzle9909]

I want that shirt! Does anyone know where to get that shirt?

[aznracersx3]

Our offensive line can not repel a blitz of such magnitude

[reaverofsouls]

@aznracersx3 Best youtube comment ever.

[Riverdog789]

guys its a commercial not real lol def my new fav commercial

[M1zdal]

why not han solo?

[Ricciuto27]

Now that's one rebel that anyone can feel comfortable rooting for!

[iDNLove]

Ackbar is my homeboy, i want that poster soo bad.

[lordofwrath88]

George Lucas shooting down an awesome idea? What are the chances?

[themole333]

anyone know where one could be the tshirt on the right at 0:35??

[Phlmal02]

DON'T RUN IT UP THE MIDDLE... IT'S A TRAP!

[irishchris28]

YES!!!!!!!!



[TheConstitutionLives]

Where can I get an Ackbar for mascot shirt?

[bigboydrew706]

IT's A TRAP!!!

[blumkinonside]

was this legit

[Zskillit]

I'm sure they wish they had Admiral Ackbar so he could have saved them from the embarrassment of another Jacksonville State.

[docvoc1]

ITS A TRAP

[TwinsLover2010]

"Ugh, I guess we'll have to eat this boring oatmeal." "Its a trap!" "Wow Admiral Ackbar! Wow Admiral Ackbar Cereal!" "Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude!"

[Fishorelly]

IT'S A TRAP

[nbmiller11]

Admiral Ackbar was created by a group of nerds who have probably never watched a football game in their lives. It got famous because of how stupid ackbar is. it is a huge joke and should have never gotten this big. embarrassing... long live colonel reb

[BMD67]

haha is this real, what an idiot

[mclovinwaffles]

Maybe it was too perfect, no..... IT WAS ALL A TRAP

[IndestructibleDV]

I thought the thumbnail was a 9 year old

[roachster55]

so is ole miss going to host the next star wars convention?? nerds!

[Dragoonk22]

It's a trap!

[ZoltecRules]

"The left tackle....he's pulling."

"IT'S A TRAP!"

[n8dgr8115]

where can i get an ackbar shirt like the one at 0:37 ?

[bluewyvern]

if they had admiral ackar clearly they wouldnt have lost to jacksonville state because he would have been there to tell them ITS A TRAP!!

[Jellojams]

The defense has an easy path to the QB. Oh, Wait.. IT'S A FULLBACK TRAP!!!

[nfl20]

Awww wait did they pick ackbar or no

[slanekid]

Colonel Reb will always be Ole Miss' mascot.

[phreaklyng]

I'm MSU alumni, but if Ole Miss adopted Ackbar, I'd put away my "go to hell, Ole Miss" flags and take a class there just so I could claim allegiance to the Ole Miss Rebel Alliance.

[RedStarRevolver26]

wow....

[sndsofscnce]

Colonel Reb is crying...

[porkermon]

More reason why players should pick the mascot and not techy geeks who have nothing to do with sports.

[nickc1188]

QB steps right, rotates, hands off, guard pulls left... IT'S A TRAP!

[Skeeto9]

"It's not crazy, it's a trap." ESPN missed a golden opportunity there.

[AudiGal09]

that is perfect, and i am extremely, extremely, extremely jealous if this becomes a reality.

[nflfan02]

it would be awesome if an opponent ran some kind of double reverse pass play call and over the loud speaker during the play you heard.... "IT'S A TRAP!".... epic...

[uptownsean]

Is this real?

[BryceDella]

@uptownsean Yes it is I kid you not. They really wanted a new mascot at Ole Miss and Akbar was one of the ideas floated around.

[Dreamer305]

@uptownsean

It was an idea but it got shot down

[KwikKopy]

@uptownsean Yes.

[jgill524]

4-3 Coverage... It's a trap!!!!

[JimmyHHH123]

Why why why are they changing the mascot now?

[robnrnbrgr75]

@JimmyHHH123 they had to change the mascot b/c of its previous assocation with the Confederacy/slavery (even if those connections were veiled/vague)...

[Dreamer305]

@JimmyHHH123 Not changing. Ole Miss didn't have one since '03. The old one was viewed as a confederate/plantation owner. Not P.C. I guess

[radasher]

Maybe they need a Honda Rebel as the mascot. Can a motorcycle be a mascot???

[cubman238]

The students didn't want a new mascot. How embarrasing for the university

[Herv3]

This is why I hate George Lucas. He has the chance to do something really cool and make Ackbar a mascot, but messes that up!

[ricepaddy69]

@Herv3 I never knew it was possible to ruin your own creation until Georgie put out the prequel trilogy. Tragic, really.

[DEVOIDofORBIT]

I'm honestly not sure if this is funny....utterly disturbing....or everything at the same time....................Just saying....

[TheWeatherMaine]

Ackbar plus team mascott ftw!!

[briancrider]

I think it would've been great to do this for even just one year. Change our names to the Ole Miss Rebel Alliance for one year along with Admiral Ackbar. Why not? It would be... wait for it...... LEGENDARY!

[Sauce433]

maybe it was just too perfect. :( 0:53

[987654321bang]

HEAT D GO

[IchabodEric]

Those two cheerleaders are adorable.

[jsprusko]

Well if Admiral Ackbar is out, how about the Rebel Yeller himself....BIlly Idol!

[Howcast]

hahaha, I LOOOOVE ESPN commercials, so funny

[Brothaman2k]

Clearly their Defense will never fall for another screen pass or draw play or end around every again because Admiral Akbar will be right there to let them know... "IT'S A TRAP!!!" lol

[hyrulehero96]

i can almost here the "its a trap" chants.

we cant repel firepower of that magnitude!

[angeltosome]

Any team that gets Ackbar as their mascot will immediately become my new favorite team.

[MrDoublehappy]

Is it Admiral Ackbar they dislike ? Or his muslim sounding name? Just saying is all.

[wpmedic1]

With the state of Ole Miss football I bet the mascot hunt is a welcome distraction.

[wpmedic1]

I think the junior college team that owned OM week one shoould name the new mascot since they now own Ole Miss.

[KY0K0N]

Ole Miss with the play action... ITS A TRAP!

[Morganinreallife]

Our offensive line can't handle firepower of that magnitude!!!

[ArbyWanKenobi]

15 people disliked this.

This is The Internet, you can not disslike Ackbar.

[devildog4lifeurr]

@bensnity my apologies, i was a little fuzzy on my history. the man still owned slaves and fought for states rights, more specifically Texas. So i dont understand why UT Knoxville is allowed to have a mascot with a history of slave ownership and Ole Miss cannot. As a matter of fact, if they were to use the "Johnny Reb" idea, more than half of the Confederate soldiers didn't own slaves so i don't see why that would be an issue for Ole Miss many students there went to fight for the south in the wa

[ericpoker247]

"Ackbar is my homeboy" haha

-eric

yourteamfucksucks(dot)com

[msrebel54]

Admiral Ackbar? I don't know what that is, but if it is a Star Wars character, wouldn't Ole Miss have to pay George Lucas like a billion dollars to use the image?

[mikeski30]

@msrebel54 Yep, which is exactly why they got a letter from Lucasfilm telling them no lol. George Lucas is one greedy SOB.

[Zemplin23]

I can see it now...every blitz on Ole Miss would cause the fans to start shouting "It's a trap!!!"

[RebelTaxi99]

First off. Nerds and Jocks mixed together. It does not compute.

2nd. Lead them to victory? He lead them to a trap!

[Jakegothicsnake]

Ugh football fandom......what a load of bollocks.......>_<

[RDawg5555]

@texasstyle01 But still, the athletes we are trying to recruit are often pretty ignorant. Why should we have a mascot that recruiters use AGAINST us?

[vaibanez17]

@OsuSyra18 I was responding to what rtb2425 said, not this video itself. I love Star Wars and Admiral Ackbar would have made a fine mascot.

[jjacobs445]

Apparently 15 Imperials watched this video.

[Se7eN2727]

huuuu

[Drawrobot100]

ITS A TRAP!

[devildog4lifeurr]

i think Ole Miss should get a confederate soldier and call him "Johnny Reb", if the Tennessee Volunteers can have Davey Crockett, a white Senator who owned slaves and fought for the South, I don't see why Ole Miss can't have a Johnny Reb on the field for their mascot......

[JimmyRadical]

IT'S A TRAP

[JimmyRadical]

IT'S A TRAP

[hotman537]

it looks like they're gonna run... It's a trap!!!

[MrHogwallop]

Maybe after the coach comes up with a better play book Ackbar could come in and say, "Many Bothans died to bring us these new plays." And then everyone would laugh but #32 wouldn't laugh because he was going to use that joke before Ackbar butted in. What a jerk!

[Mike7986]

Who is that hot blonde at the start of it.

[bleachersking]

Die Imperial scum!

[Barnstormer1969]

Does George Lucas know about this? If so, is he okay with it?

On second thought, are these guys serious? Is this whole thing for real?

[sambaso]

@TraderJack641 Yeah thats a great idea, bring on the 3 win seasons!

[tsteeno06]

I go to Ole Miss and this would be the absolute worst! Screw all these nerds trying to take over our school. GO AWAY!!!!!!

[metpach]

@tsteeno06 if Akbar was ur mascot then maybe ppl would give a shit bout ole miss

[JaskaJunior]

ITS A TRAP!

[rlaproductions]

hey, we've already seen this many times. now, let's go to youtube to watch it again! yeaaaaahhhhhhhh

[swampgill]

Give em the admiral, that would be amazing!!!

[BrandonToddCarr]

IT'S A TRAP!

[NightDen]

ITS A TRAP!!

[ladycat1963]

WOW, y'all could choose a better mascot. I thought you all were the Rebels at one time. But maybe some took offense to the Civil war theme.

[hensandwich]

The dj himself looks like a squid-like alien.

[BaronOfBacon]

They do realize that this leaves them open to "IT'S A TRAP!" jokes, right?

[mebejack]

@FtmfwId

do yourself a favor and get all snooty all over an espn commercial.

ADMIRAL ACKBAR IS MY HOMEBOY

[Thracozaag]

Hopefully they don't get too much rain, otherwise...IT'S A TARP!!!!

[wwwMERTHcom]

Awesome... absolutely awesome. I would become an Ole Miss fan if Ackbar was on the sidelines.

[SomeNewJonas]

18 MPH speed limit? I like that.

[DeathChameleon]

This is epic. But you should focus on not losing to Jacksonville State. Upset FTW!!

[DeathChameleon]

@klairday

So true.

[klairday]

What was wrong with the Southern Gentlemen for a mascot???

[Stark1010]

How about PC Liberal D-bags blow...........get a used up Limo Liberal wearing a fake fur coat.

[KamuiT]

@Tim36089 But Star Wars is awesome. Thus Ole Miss would become Awesome. Yes? Yes.

[billybeaugez]

Booooo - you guys are true dorks!

[btwillin0119]

this is ridiculous...makes ole miss look like a joke!

[FtmfwId]

@btwillin0119

They do look like a joke. They lost to Jacksonville St!

[skyweezy1124]

i actually go to ole miss, and admiral ackbar isn't even an option for the mascot anymore...so you should all shut the fuck up cause none of you know what you are talking about.

[foeasy16]

Sounds like what us muslims say "Allah AKBAR!!!!!!!"

[JADA737373]

political correctness at its worst

[Dragotto]

SCLSU MUD DOGS!!!!!!!!

[iowerth1]

go vols

[alliemota4]

maybe ol miss should worry more about football fundamentals,and less about funny commercials...GO DAWGS!!!

[pureskils]

ITS A TRAP

[swaggaming]

0:31 the one on the right, holy crap, she hot

[guywhosverybored]

LOL, this was awesome....UNLV could use Admiral Ackbar as their mascot too!

[scottfrerking10]

How about the Incredible Hulk for the North Texas Mean Green mascot? He's green & he's mad - a perfect match.

[ravkhinda]

Why is this plastered all over ESPN? 

[TheConstitutionLives]

@ravkhinda Because it's full of win

[DcLaxin]

forget a new mascot, how bout winning a game

[msrebel54]

@DcLaxin

We did. Tulane. 27-13. The season opener was just a fluke.

[groves1990]

@DcLaxin season opener was bs and you know it. we kicked the shit outta tulane so fuck you

[cda1117]

YOUR SCHOOL CAN'T HANDLE MASCOTS OF THAT MAGNITUDE!!!

[BigJRay]

"IT'S A TRAP!!!"

[OsuSyra18]

Admiral its Jeremiah Masoli... ITS A TRAP!

[bobsaget908]

Ol' Miss can't withstand an epic mascot of that magnitude

[TheBallernation]

i never seen a viper be a mascot they should go with it

[progressthruscience]

Holy Crap, that would be amazing if he was their mascot!!! It's too bad it'd never happen.

[thevinceberry]

but Ackbar didn't do nothing in Star Wars...Han solo, luke , lela n lando was doing all the work

[twbmc27]

THIS NEEDS TO BE THEIR MASCOT!

[wakeforest94]

is this true?

[stevekr21]

fail

[irishdriver77]

This would be amazing Ole Miss has to make this work somehow

[tigersruhl84]

those cheerleaders look pretty hot

[ClydesRevenge]

Too bad ackbar likes black people!

[WhistlingMtn]

If Ackbar is alive, he is really really old.

[bowtieboy327]

Just leave it at what it was!

[TheCrunknessmonster]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh ackbar. Your face looks like a.........
