Tooooooo much explaining to do.

I have lived here all my life and never even heard of this thing till I was in my 50s.

. . . need to get around more . . .

What really should happen is. Pick 4 mascots! Purchase 4 costumes. Top 4 would be Alligator, Rougarou, a Rooster, and a Catahoula Dog and see what builds the most attraction!

If any fan actually purchase an outfit and show up to games they would be so many people come up around them for games and taking pictures.

If you want to become a mascot that’s all you would have to do.

I've had my head in books since before the first grade.

The Loup-Garou did not travel with the Cajuns to Louisiana, it was a much later adoption.

This was not a Louisiana thing until recently except in Terrebonne Parish.

Same here.

One of the side effects of French Emersion where they tried to bring everything over from France 375 years after the Cajuns left.

Barry Jean Ancelet had a little to do with this.

LoL! Why would you have a raccoon representing New Orleanz jazz to represent cajun culture??? It's something someone from New York would do. Geez. You'd think someone from here would understand that.

I think he's related to RW&B...

Then maybe we roll with two Catahoula Cur dogs named Boo and Thib. Most fans will like and relate to these unique canines, will visit their kennels before home football games. The dogs can run on the field pre-game with the kids. Walk them around the Cajundome during basketball season and show them around during softball and baseball seasons, too.
