Extended version - ESPN Ole Miss Star Wars commercial

A short time ago, in a land not so far away, Ole Miss faced the tall task of selecting a new on-field mascot. Here, we take a closer look at a true story where a group of passionate students humorously nominated Admiral Ackbar to become their mascot. It's not crazy, it's sports.

i love how the only people really saying no to ackbar are the preppy girls/blonds/cheer leaders...XD

God, that redhead at the end's a moron....They weren't talking about changing from "Rebels" to "Ackbars"...just a suitable mascot to put on the field. Ackbar is a famous "rebel" leader that no one would take offense to, unless you were a Sith lord. No one would leave the school just because of what a mascot looks like, if they did, who'd go to Stanford to have a big tree be their mascot

[mrcuddlesXD]

NO ONE. DENIES ACKBAR. HE DENIES YOU!

I take solace in the fact that the only thing anyone will ever remember any of those dead-eyed cheerleaders for is being on the wrong side of this.

I would rather have a mascot with a sense of humor like akbar than one that's there just to placate the students that miss colonel reb. That and I have no doubt in my mind that we would gain far more students than we would lose. heh

@laxfighter31 Did you miss the part of the video where the president of Ole MIss said they haven't had a mascot on the field since 2003? Unless I'm mistaken, Obama was a state senator in Illinois in 03.

[MissSTATEboy]

i think Masoli stole what was left of that ugly little school...

[laxfighter31]

this is the stupidest thing ever i go to ole miss and if this is our mascot im transferring our mascot should b colonel reb but thanks to that douchebag obama we cant have our real mascot

[southernfratdude]

Honestly, this embarrasses me and the degree I got from that "great American public university"...should have stayed at Southern Miss!

[iamagiantseaturd]

If Ackbar became Ole Miss' mascot I would immediately transfer there for my master's degree.
