from TMZ:
Nerds & College Sports To Collide!: Will the University of Mississippi Rebels (Ole Miss) finally get the leader of the “Star Wars” Rebel Alliance as
their mascot? TMZ reported that the university has voted to replace their old mascot – Colonel Reb. And the galaxy’s most famous Mon Calamari, Admiral
Ackbar, is the favorite choice among students. The final decision is reportedly up to the Ole Miss’ student mascot committee. No word if George Lucas
would allow the university the right to use his character as their mascot – or if Jar Jar Binks is jealous.

I have a middle eastern man named Ackbar at work.

^Akbar means "greatest" in Arabic. Admiral Ackbar means 'The Greatest Admiral.' Haha.
Seriously, awesome. I hope they use him.
