The Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Reb

I thought I would post something on the issue of the Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Reb, in case most of you have not heard about this let me tell you about it, in 2003 the administration of University of Mississippi eliminated Colonel Reb as the official mascot of Ole Miss Rebels, as of 2/24/2010 students have voted to replace him, personally I don't like the PC mentality that has pushed this, there is a dark horse movement to have the Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar made the new Ole Miss mascot. Personally I have a better suggestion for the students, one that the administration of University of Mississippi couldn't refuse without ending up with egg on their faces, redesign Colonel Reb and take him back to the war of independence for the American Colonies, change the uniform to colonial rebel and change the beard style to that more of the revolutionary war period, this would make it hard for the administration of University of Mississippi to turn down a caricature of an American Icon. Now I know Mississippi wasn't a state until 1817, but the people of Mississippi were members of America.
Any way that is my opinion.
