Ah, if we’re doing a thread for this, I have to add this video:

Candygram.

No mam. I’m just a dolphin.

Odd timing. I was channel surfing last night and ran across a less-than B movie titled, "Trailer Park Shark".

You probably don't wanna google that.

What's the point of a mascot, which is primarily there for the kids, if it's so creepy/awkward/strange that kids get scared by it?

They apparently thought it was more appropriate than a mascot truly representative of the team, a duffel bag full of cash.

Can't be as scary as this:

Naw, this one is my all-time favorite

 

[Sykobuff]

C'mon folks, this is too easy

Ole Miss is continuing the SEC tradition of having multiple mascots.

Far, far worse. And that’s saying something.

Most Mississippi kids have seen worse at family reunions.

The race to make sure your mascot doesn't offend has, well, jumped the shark.

 

[Buffnik]

Pretty much anything is better than your mascot being a celebration of treason against America to fight for slavery.

It took until 2010 before Ole Miss finally got shamed out of having Colonel Reb as its mascot. It has used some kind of bear for the past 8 years. I think Larry Landshark (or whatever its name is) is an upgrade, personally.

I wish the eye rolling emoji was better....

Ah, if we’re doing a thread for this, I have to add this video:

I'm calling him Ledz the Mudshark. Much stronger background story than Tony the Landshark.

PS - that link has no salacious pics or anything, but the text content is absolutely NSFW.

I’m so lost why the **** is the mascot a ****ing shark? So now they’re the landsharks?

It's pretty tough to translate a "Rebels" nickname into a live mascot, aside from the dear departed traitor once known as Colonel Reb. The bear failed to generate enthusiasm, so why not go with Larry Landshark?

No it’s not! It’s mississippi! Just send out Jethro the toothless, mud fisher and they’ll relate perfectly!

Trouble is that those look like the real Nebraska kids who had a Twinkies truck crash in their neighborhood.

That’s a lot of Twinkie delivery vans totaled out on someone’s insurance.

 

[ColoSpringsBuff]

Should've gone with this.

That shark’s head is the exact opposite of cone shaped.
