Video: Brad Paisley takes the stage with dozens of college football mascots, including the Ole Miss mascot.
Last night, the 49th Annual Country Music Awards were hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood in Nashville, Tennessee. Among performances from country music’s biggest stars, Brad Paisley preformed his latest hit “Country Nation”. The song is basically a college football anthem, mentioning several college football teams and football game traditions. Last night, as Paisley rocked out on stage, dozens of college football mascots danced behind him in support of their teams, including Rebel Bear. Way to represent Ole Miss!
The Ole Miss Rebels are also mentioned in Paisley’s song:
“We’re Mountaineers, we’re Volunteers
Blue Devils, Heels and REBELS
Fighting Irish and Cavaliers
We soup up our Chevrolets
Cheer 24 and 88
We crank up the same songs Friday night
On two thousand country stations
Yeah, we’re one big country nation, that’s right”
Thanks Brad Paisley! Hotty Toddy!

The Bear is still and will always be an embarrassment to the University.

That stupid bear is a embarrassment to the University of Mississippi. It’s not the mascot the fans want and never will be. GTH black bear

It was a sad day when the mascot was changed to a bear. Col Rebel forever. The new mascot is nothing but the subject of jokes and rude comments.

But underneath that apron or that uniform
We’re Wild Cats, Wolverines
We’re Tigers, Buckeyes, Bruins
Bulldogs, Hogs, and Hurricanes
We pray before we race
Cheer fourteen and forty-eight
Lots of mascots are in the lyrics

I almost died when I saw that Stupid Black Bear on the CMA awards. Was sooooooo out of place with the other mascots. Col.Reb would have looked sooo much better.
