So my old college roommate just got wind to me that there was a recent push to make Admiral Ackbar the new mascot of The University of Mississippi. The school retired Colonel Reb in 2003 for being supposedly "racist." Sadly, it seems that Lucasfilm put the kibosh on Admiral... Colonel... Ackbar. Quite a shame. I swear if Ackbar had been the mascot, I might have been bothered to go to more football games. Sigh. I wish I was still in college. Life didn't suck then.

Anyway, funny TV spot for the premise. Can't believe I missed this.
