OMG. I promise I have never heard tell of the Ole Miss Bear??? I've always known them to be the Ole Miss Rebels. I know "Colonel Reb" has been swept under the table, but didn't know about the bear coming in.
This is coming from someone who's niece almost went to Ole Miss, and I write a handful of recs every year for girls going there??? Wow.
