Curse Of The Black Bear

Curse Of The Black Bear The Curse of the Black Bear is a direct result of the installation of a black bear as the mascot for the University of Mississippi. Reb.

This curse has brought disappointment and unspeakable embarrasment to Ole Miss football program and will not go away until the Black Bear is removed and replaced with the former mascot, the brave and couragous Col. A mascot at Ole Miss since the 1940's based on a real person at Ole Miss, Colonel Reb has transformed from a character in the Student Annual, to a student cheerleader voted to be on the

sidelines during games, to a professional mascot for Ole Miss. In 2003 the University Administration tried to change the mascot despite 94% of students voting to keep Colonel Reb on the field. Ole Miss is now the only school in the SEC that does not have a mascot.
