Admiral Ackbar and Southern Pride

Today we are having a vote at Ole Miss. Our beloved mascot for decades, Colonel Reb, was removed from the field in 2003. This left the Rebels as the only SEC team without an on-field mascot. It is now 2010, seven years later, and we are still without a mascot. The vote today is on this topic, but what it is exactly that we are voting for is puzzling.
