there might be a student election with more than 25% of students actually voting!
Will the Ackbar people be offering rides to class in exchange for votes?

Students at Duke and Vandy will make fun of how nerdy UM students are.

They should get this kid too:

I guess my sarcasm meter is broken but I swear folks referring to this as if it actually is legit.

on the other hand, there are plenty of students who actually like the idea...i doubt it goes much further than this, but we'll see.

but for the tens of thousands of completely unplugged, clueless, 50-80 yr old geritolers, there's no way it's acceptable. And, anyway, George f'n Lucas would darth vader you bunch of crunchy mikers over the copyright problem.

I mean, a joke would just having the character up for the vote and nobody voting for him.

A joke doesn't have a website, twitter account, and printable flyers promoting. Nobody that has talked about this happening has said to the media it is a joke. I'm sure there are some OM fans who think it is a joke and just good fun, but I'd wager there are a lot more that are serious about it (even though they might also think it's a bit silly).

Wasn't the vote just a simple "Yes, we need a new mascot" or "No, let's stay mascot-less"?

the gun by presuming that Akbar will be chosen as the new mascot. I think its hilarious and I would love for him to do the "are you ready" for the first game regardless of who the school picks as a mascot.

I think they shoudl be the:

Ole Miss - Magnolia Blossoms



Kind'a Pretty Don't you guys think?

They could all fight to see who won the job of wearing the costume to the Football Games.

They would probably need to hire a marketing firm to come up with some cheers.

A 60 year old today would have been 28 when Star Wars was released. The 60 year olds are from the time of the original Star Trek.
