Holding out for Akbar

Ole Miss has released preliminary designs for their new mascot choices - the land shark, the black bear, and Hotty Toddy. They look fine in a generic sort of way, but they missed the boat in Oxford by not choosing Admiral Akbar. Also, instead of two amorphous muppet-type mascots named "Hotty" and "Toddy," the council has chosen to present one, faceless green-man meets body builder persona named "Hotty Toddy." Meh. And yes, the new mascot will have proper Grove Attire for pre-gaming.
