There are a couple of things bothering me tonight: one is that it took Ole Miss years to come up with a mascot for their sports teams to take the place of the Colonel Reb character that they used when Archie Manning and I went to school there - and the best they could do was a bear. I mean, don't you think there are enough law professors and would-be doctors going to school at the prestigious University of Mississippi to have come up with a bear, let's say, after maybe only one or two years??? Anyway, the point of the new mascot is not what it is, but that they needed to come up with one at all. I guess there were some people offended by the Colonel Reb character, believing that Mississippi wanted to keep the Civil War going or something. Frankly, I always thought the character was silly, so I doubt if he ever drew the ire of people with "good walking around sense." But then that brings us back to those professors, who have never really had that kind of sense, have they? Hmmm... and to think, that's who our president has surrounding him, as "advisors". Hey those people don't have "good walking around sense!" Should they really be so close to that red button? I digress.
And the second thing bothering me is... well, now I've forgotten. Maybe I will remember it before tomorrow night. Have a pleasant evening all - knowing that Ole Miss finally has a new mascot, Rebel, the bear. Oh forgot to tell you that. They kept the Rebel part, just got the new mascot. Good night Colonel Reb wherever you are.
