I am warming up to Tony, Ole Miss’ new Landshark mascot.
I miss the Bear mascot dearly, and all of the time-honored Ole Miss traditions he stood for. I miss Admiral Ackbar and am still furious at Rian Johnson for killing him off in The Last Jedi. So Tony has an uphill battle for me to admire him the way a good sports fan should admire his favorite team’s licensed, anthropomorphized animal. And, in my view, he’s done a pretty good job of it so far.
He’s impressed noted nihilist and Bison enthusiast Spencer Hall with his profound silliness.
