Meet Landshark Tony, Ole Miss' new on-field mascot and potential leading vote-getter for SEC's scariest mascot (if we did a poll).
Tony was introduced to fans Saturday at Meet the Rebels Day, and he was named after late former Ole Miss linebacker Tony Fein, who is credited with started the defense's "Fins Up" celebration tradition, which ultimately inspired the mascot. The landshark follows the controversial Colonel Reb mascot as well as the Black Bear mascot.
According to Tony's new Twitter account, he likes Jimmy Buffet, Jaws — duh — and will wear Fein's No.
