After the (mostly) successful two-year run of star rapper/quarterback Swag Kelly in Oxford, Ole Miss has its sights set on a new musician to join Rebel Nation, notorious bandwagon jumper Justin Bieber.
According to the official Ole Miss football Twitter account, the school has sent the Canadian import a Rebel football jersey after Bieber claimed he would wear any cool looking jersey.
Will the ploy work? The Rebels are apparently determined to find out.
We are biased, but we think our @Nike jersey looks cool… It’s coming your way @justinbieber! #HottyToddy 💯 pic.twitter.com/XGrRk8lpTu

Judging by the responses online, the majority of fans don’t agree with the decision to invite Bieber to Rebel Nation:
Is this one of our self imposed sanctions?

This is worse than anything the NCAA could ever do to us…
