I saw that the Mascot had been changed to BEARS and honestly LAUGHED. Are there any bears even left in Mississippi?

The entire thing is totally idiotic!

I doubt there has been a black bear in Mississippi for decades.

>> Are there any bears even left in Mississippi? <<

My understading is that none are “left” — in the sense that the original herd (or coven or whatever a group of bears is called) died out.

But in fact we now actually do have bears again, which the wildlife mavens have imported from Arkansas.
