On a serious note, I don't have a problem with the Rebel mascot and name. Yes, I understand it offends some, but it has a historical tie-in, and football is a non-lethal form of warfare, with a few RARE exceptions related to accidents and medical circumstances. So I'm just not bothered by the name or mascot. However, if they have plans to change their name and mascot, I'd suggest going intellectual and use their native black bear and the name Ursus Ebons. Normally, college mascots use a single name, like Volunteers, Tigers, and Bulldogs, for example. But there are exceptions such as Crimson Tide, Sun Devils, Black Knights, and so on. However, I'm very uncertain Mississippi has either intellect or creativity, so something like this will never happen.
