Goodbye Colonel Reb, hello…?
To their credit, although it took them more than 130 years to ban their pro-slavery mascot, the University of Mississippi had already banned Colonel Reb a few years ago, along with waving the Confederate flag at sporting events.
Now, apparently, they are trying to decide on a new mascot. Got any suggestions for them?

Opie, the Ph.D., complete with cap and gown. (He left Mississippi to get an education.)

How about something more modern – Bull Connor. He could run around with a fire hose after every TD. Maybe a German Shepard?
