New Ole Miss Team Name

Since Ole Miss is not satisfied with Colonel Reb or the name Rebels any more I found a list of names to help them choose a new one. The full list of college team nicknames is at

Funny list BB

and FYI, a petrel is a bird that lives primarily over the ocean.

 

Re: Funny list BB

Like a seagull or a pelican?

 

Chanticleers ---

I love the Chanticleers, I remember once in College they made the Basketball Tournament my buddies and I became huge fans.
I even have a Chanticleer hat.

By the way a Chanticleer is a Chicken I believe.


Go Chanticleers...

Maybe Auburn can add another name to their growing list of Mascots...

 

More like a gull than a pelican though it is a different genus entirely from gulls. There are several different species of petrels. Here is a picture of one of them.

Thanks, tigerfanintampa, Now I have enough knowledge about Petrels to bore anybody who cares to listen to tears with my knowledge of Petrels.

 

So why do they give me strange looks when I order the 3 piece Chanticleer dinner at Popeyes?
