Help Ole Miss
The student body at Ole Miss voted yesterday to pick a new mascot as Col. Reb is no longer a politically correct mascot. We will not dive into if this was the right course of action but we here at LOHD would like to offer some suggestion and ask you to weigh in too. 
You could always go with Magnolia, the state tree. Then the actual on the field mascot could be a big Magnolia tree, wearing a Ole Miss floppy hat or something similar.
How about the Ole Miss Milk Man, as Mississippi’s state drink is milk. This could be portrayed by a student dressed in the old school white milk man uniform. He could deliver Milk to the student section every time Ole Miss scores a touchdown.
Another option would be the Ole Miss Delta’s, or Ole Miss River Boats, this would incorporate the Mississippi River. I know they are trying to get away from the Old South look, but what about the Ole Miss Scarlett’s. This would play towards the perceived notion that Ole Miss Coed’s are super hot, and still pay homage to the Old South way of life in Mississippi. (and yes they are hot for the record)
They could always settle for the Ole Miss Tigers, as it seems the SEC West prefers for their teams to be Tigers. How about the Ole Miss Bulldogs, then each year at the egg bowl, MSU and Ole Miss could play for a wooden bulldog. This might get confusion at first but people would eventually figure it out.
Probably my favorite would be the Ole Miss Mud-Cats after the large catfish that roams the Mississippi rivers and swamps.
If anybody else has any idea of what should be the new Ole Miss mascot, please let us know by commenting ........
