Ragin Review is now on Day 27 for the "We need a mascot" campaign.
I am on year 10 of we do not need a mascot. That's just my opinion, so go ahead and attack me if you wish. I do not care. We have more important things to worry about before a mascot, and no, we can't walk and chew gum simultaneously.
THIS!Quote:

Hard to buhleeve.... not being able to afford cayenne may be worst excuse ever....
"Around 2010, Cayenne went into apparent exile due to budget issues.[1] In 2017, Louisiana Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard announced that a new mascot would be unveiled within two years. In 2019, a secret committee was discovered to be working on creating a new mascot.[2] As of 2020, the Ragin' Cajuns are still without a mascot. For Halloween 2020, the Athletic site’s social media posted a picture of a graveyard with the words “Cayenne” and “The Fabulous Cajun Chicken” (the former Cajuns’ mascot) on two graves, suggesting that Cayenne’s mascot is “dead” and not making a return"
Louisiana has one... several even, they just arent allowed at the games. :)Quote:

The students love this and they never have trouble finding someone to fill the position
I totally agree with this, but I'll add one thing. There are very, very few schools who have mascots that the students actually care about. Unless your mascot is a living animal or has some other gimmick, most students really couldn't care any less. The idea that the mascot will somehow impassion fans is kinda silly.Quote:

If Mascots weren’t liked, we wouldn’t have Disney! Marketing for some companies is based off a mascot!
Think KFC, McDonalds, Liberty Mutual, Merrill Lynch, Frosted Flakes, Planters Peanuts etc.. all based off a mascot! This is College which a mascot is part of your brand.
Come on now let’s get serious if we are trying to move the brand forward we need a mascot
I definitely agree that branding serves a purpose. But I'm not sure that college kids are flocking to Disney World just to hang out with Goofy.Quote:

I can get on board with that. I thought the discussion was about creating a buzz among the students.Quote:

I almost would go to the game to see that man perform
So true, a game, day spirit leader is more for the kids and overall appearance of something happening at all times, between plays and reacting to plays.Quote:

If someone dressed as a gator you would get so many people that would want to take pictures hang out etc.
My wife 10 yrs ago bought a dog outfit to promote a business it was at a Christmas parade, and when I tell you kids would be lining the streets to shake the dogs hand take pictures etc.
It works trust me!
The university has always been of the mindset that it is unique.
Here is an idea:
Make it official that we are so unique, that we don’t want or need a mascot.
Get Jim Nantz to make a sound bite about it:
A tradition like no other.
No, nada, absolutely foolish postQuote:
