The Fighting Okra is the mascot of Delta State University baseball or basketball, depending on who you ask. Really. Also Statesmen. Hey, it is the Delta, they can have as many mascots as they want.
Don’t you wish you had an okra instead of a knight, warrior, cougar or whatever?
In case you live under a rock (or in anyplace else but the Delta), okra is a funky vegetable with slimy seeded guts. It is used in gumbo. Also fried. Do not be scared.
You can buy a T shirt at the bookstore. We want one, don’t you?
You didn’t think we would leave you without a song, did you? This is okra blues. Yes, there is such a thing, even if we did just make it up.
