Originally vermilion was either made from highly toxic mineral Cinnabar or the crushed bodies of female Kermes vermilio.
Digging so deep like they did with Bineaux will alway bring up negatives.
Just pay attention to what the final product looks and acts like and quit running from your shadow.

You don’t have to like that it’s happening, but it is happening” and brushing aside any concerns about the name or critiques on the concept in general.
They’re on Twitter this week posting contact info, and he specifically is attacking her background publicly. It’s gone way past a grassroots mascot campaign and has taken on a straight up adversarial tone this week.
Would progress years ago have been better? Yeah I’m not gonna disagree with that. But the persistence and recent reaction this week even after UL sent a polite “thanks but no thanks” last year ensures they won’t have a seat at the table anytime soon (if there is a table to speak of anytime soon).

The American Alligator.
He and every Alligator in the State of Louisiana encompass a history of a specie that goes back, no one knows how far back. Maybe millions of years. They're in every waterway in Louisiana, including our own Cypress Lake. They deserve Tremendous respect.
I believe we could all agree that a live feed of video from our swamp on campus, sent to each of our stadiums would be a great way to show others how special this place is.
Hhmph. The only cringy aspect is the rampant Albinophobia leakage over from Facebook. There were only slight signs of it on this site the previous two years.Quote:

To get over the phobia, don't focus on the back story focus on the awesomeness in front of you.
I was hoping UL would give Cory thousands annually to maintain the game day spirit booster.Quote:

Get behind it Louisiana. Don't treat the concept like an Albitross around your neck.
Awesome idea.Quote:

Thank you. And yes, they are extremely dark. It seems they have been personified as green during everyone's lifetime. Kids grow up thinking they're green because of every coloring book, cartoon, et al. In that line of thinking is Gainesville. We are not. Louisiana has our own stock in our own Swamp. And that stock is rising. Rise Up.Quote:
