Fun! It’s the let’s think of something that is as disconnected from our school as possible and make that our mascot game.
Heh. I've got to defend the Tree. For one thing, it's not the university's official mascot - it's their marching band's mascot. Also, it's at least derived from Stanford's seal.
Yep. (El Palo Alto) is part of Stanford's seal and also that of the city of Palo Alto.
Wikipedia article on the Stanford Tree states it's been the band's mascot since 1975.

", I want to state unequivocally that we are — and always will be — the Ole Miss Rebels. And I am asking all Rebels to unite around our new Landshark mascot."
Not for long... How are they allowed to keep their racist name (Ole Miss Rebels)? Where are Black Lives matter when you need them?
Agree. I saw Stanford in a basketball regional a few years ago. The band and tree mascot were far more entertaining than the game.
The hearing impaired will be thoroughly confused
They think that the Ole Miss players are crying for daddy like their students/alumni always do. Which this year the players probably are.
now they are going to ask WTF is the shark about?

Seriously, they should have just tried to replicate the success of WKU's Big Red (https://www.sbnation.com/2017/6/30/15900920/big-red-western-kentucky-mascot-what)
So their entire school's mascot is based on a slogan for their football team's terrible defense? That makes total sense.
They look so damn dumb when they do that. It reminds me too much of the whole Loser/forehead thing, or a rooster with a huge comb.
so do we know what this landshart looks like? is there a picture? emoji? drawing from the library bathroom stall walls? i'm not sure what i'm making fun of right now?
Hey. let's not miss the opportunity... when they do the LandShark State fans can give them the L for Loser...
Let's see, the school with the most politically correct mascot tried to hide it with an animal that even isn't native to the home state (Mississippi Black Bears are mostly in Louisiana, look it up). Now they are still working on hiding this political incorrectness with an animal that isn't anywhere in the state either (unless you go swimming several miles out into the Gulf). Well, what else could they do, actually think about moving to the 21st century?
Face it Confederates... ever since your proud noses-in-the-air identity was destroyed by common sense you've been trying very hard to get the world to "look the other way." You end up with TSUN grads running and ruining the state because they don't want to grow up.
I wonder if anyone has studied how many TSUN and MSU grads stay in State after graduation? Seems to me that being involved with the MSU family makes you realize how much better things are outside the state rather than in it, while TSUN grads think they can live the plantation life at the expense of the rednecks.

It's going to have to be changed again. I don't have a fin, so I'm offended by it. Any fin-free safe spaces around?
And another comment ... Stanford and Ole Miss should never be mentioned in the same sentence unless it's clear that only the world's lamest mascots are being compared.
