There’s a Bear on the Square

Two doors down, the folks at Rooster’s don’t seem to want to make him welcome.

I would not want to be the bouncer having to enforce that sign if the bear decides to come in anyway.

Meanwhile, down at Lindsey’s Chevron, yet another opinion about the proper mascot seems to be expressed.

Michigan J. Frog??

I doubt Scott Michaels knows someone has put that in the window. There are a lot of people who like and support the bear, and I would be surprised if he –or any business owner– is telling them they are not allowed.

Going back to the leader of the Rebels and a search on youtube. I was reminded of the opposition to the force when I saw Full Metal Star Wars. Not sure I’d be welcomed to post such a thing here.Its close to the Saturday night, Hole in the wall mixed post but no weee oooooh.

I’m sorry that The University officials didn’t take up the mascot idea suggested by the ball coach at the A&M college. He calls The University “The School Up North”, or “The SUN”. Of course – The Sun – the center of the Solar System, around which everything revolves – the center of everything. He’s right of course. I’m picturing in my mind’s eye the sun character from the Jimmy Dean sausage ads.

Glad to see people standing up to this RIDICULOUS sham.You bear lovers keep on bashing the true Ole Miss fans. This IS NOT GOING AWAY.

Now that Bill mentioned it, I like the idea of the Suns. Beats the heck outta the stupid bear thing.

I prefer Foghorn Leghorn, where you can combine both the Colonel and the Sun, as in “Ah say, son, ah say ….” Of course, there will be those who claim SUN is actually spelled SON as in “Sons of the Confederacy.”

I am myself a longtime admirer of Foghorn Leghorn, but there is a reason why no college team’s official mascot is a chicken.

(Favorite cartoon moment ever: Foghorn is playing hide-&-seek with the widow hen’s genius child, and hides in a storm cellar. Filling a page with pataphysical calculations, the child identifies a spot of ground, digs, and finds Foghorn, who is expostulating that this CAN’T be right. Foghorn marches to the storm cellar, but hesitates and then refuses to open it: “Ah might, Ah say, Ah just might be in there.” Deep, man … deep.)
