I’ll be honest — change is never easy, especially when it involves setting something aside that is rooted in tradition. That’s what happened last year when Ole Miss decided to retire ‘Colonel Reb,’ their controversial sports mascot who some felt was offensive and replaced him with ‘Rebel Black Bear’ (and yes, Admiral Ackbar had quite the campaign going. So much, that the school and ESPN had fun with it). With that being said, is a bear with a sun hat and gray slacks the best we could do? Really?
