That place is an embarrassment in so many ways and it seems like they create new ways everyday. Smh
Did I miss something?
The cheaters were voting on their On field mascot again. The choices were the current bear or the Jimmy Buffet creation Landshark. They went with the USM man's creation.Quote:

We ought to change our mascot to the Fighting Leo?s for the EB.
Does the SNL skit predate Buffett's song "Fins?"Quote:

The original football Landsharks were a pair of twin brother linebackers on the fictitious Alabama High School State Champion Heatwave Lizards. It's a great story. That's a fun little book.Quote:

Now someone has to create a whole new song with a awkward sea creature.
The skit was in the 1976 season when Chevy Chase was still on the show. The Volcano album was released in 1979.Quote:

To use the same terminology as a major college mascot is......irrelevant at best and, brace yourself, UNORIGINAL at worst. Which if anyone is familiar with Ole Miss, that alone might describe them better than anything.
They could choose the baby pools because they are so shallow.
The reflecting pool from the Greek myth of Narcissus because they are so conceited.
