Personally, I disagree and think it's an awesome idea.
Admiral Ackbar is causing a serious disturbance in the force at Ole Miss -- where several Rebel fans are threatening to abandon the school if the alien leader becomes the new mascot.
The masterminds behind the Admiral Ackbar mascot campaign tell TMZ they've been contacted by angry students, threatening to transfer if the legendary rebel shot caller is voted to become the new face of Ole Miss.
The
group has even received complaints from the parents of current students
and prospective students -- with some even threatening to "never send
their kids to Ole Miss" if the Admiral wins out.As we
previously reported, the school recently voted to bring in a new mascot
to replace the old, controversial rebel mascot ... and Ackbar has
emerged as an early favorite.Still no word on when an official decision will be made.
If they had Admiral Ackbar as a mascot, I'd root for them on principle.
LOL! Admiral Ackbar + Ole Miss = Hilarity! Man Bama needs to do something awesome like this. lol
As a student of MSU, if this goes through, I just might go to a State-Ole Miss game simply to point and laugh.
Whoa whoa! What?! You go to MSU Kayla? That's absurdly ridiculous. Do you ever come Tuscaloosa way?
Nope, I go north through Jackson and Flowood. I actually live about half an hour from Natchez. From there, it's just a few miles from the MS-LA border.
I'm currently in my senior year, though I have at least three more semesters left, studying for an electrical engineering degree.
Kayla!! AHH! Not sure if you've heard of Kami-Con[considering it's only happened once so far], but it's a convention UA has. I believe we're havng it this year. As more info becomes available i'll let you know, but it would be so cool to meet a Mofoer. As for tht EE degree. Go you! One of my buddies is doing that. I'm trying for an Aerospace Engineering degree.
This is awesome, saw it on Toplessrobot last week.
Kayla, I didn't know you were going for EE as well 
I'll be getting my BS in May, along with a BA in Physics.

Yeah, I've heard of it. Matter of fact, some people from our anime club are going to it for the weekend.
Unfortunately, I don't have the money or the time right now, since I went to MechaCon last summer.
One of my buddies is doing that. I'm trying for an Aerospace Engineering degree.

Huzzah! More engineers! We oughta form a club.
I'm also planning on getting a mathematics minor and an entrepreneurship certificate. I hear those look mighty fine alongside an EE degree.

(checks Kamicon)
I'm in driving distance. o.o
(checks date)
April 24-25?
I don't have any finals on those days! :O
I...might be able to come! 😀
Think you'll have room for Math Major with a Minor in History?
Math major?!
Ultra, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.

They have a website.

(this will be the best first anime convention EVER)
Hahahah! Engineers of the world[MoFo] unite! But oh...ok that's cool, Kayla. Would be awesome to meet you though. And high five to Hiro. Physics...bleh! Tough stuff. And Ultra! YOSH! You should so come man! If you need a place to stay you can crash on me and my roommates couch. lol
P.S. Thanks for linking to the site...forgot they had one. >.
