Crawfish Mascot?

[Turbine]

I love Crawfish.. but it is my mascot!

No to the Crawfish Mascot.

As a Crawfish you are so fortunate. . .
You have the luxury of endorsing an idea and backing out when you feel like it. . . . provided you raise your arms upon exiting

No

I'm sure this has been discussed. Why not?. Is a Pepper better?..... I personally think it's a good Idea!... Finally we could have a mascot that everyone would recognize!. Get the BEST designers to develop the coolest mascot on EARTH! What would you call him/Her.... let's get some suggestions.... seriously the pepper has got to go.... The Crawfish mascot would rule the mascot world... Taking down it's opponents with it's MASSIVE claws... Come on... Ragin Cajuns/Crawfish!..... send this Idea to the boss..lol......................

In the past, when a crawfish was considered, one point that was made was... a crawfish swims backwards. When someone tells you that you're running away from a fight... they say "you're crawfishing". That isn't exactly how I think we need to represent our athletics.

[Yep]

Would this crawfish be red? Like a DEAD/boiled/ready-to-eat crawfish? Or would it be an ugly brown color like a live crawfish?

Terrible!

Bring back the bulldog! Tradition!

No crawfish as mascots. Man they are prey, any number of a thousand ways to denegrate that animal, it is for eating not fighting.

The appropriate mascot for a school named UL would be one of three things.


state bird: pelican. Now that we have a marine unit delivering bombs to the enemy with a unit called ragin cajun it has become my personal choice.

state dog: catahoula hound. Love a pair called Ragin and Cajun

state reptile: gator, too much like the Florida guys. I mean they stole the swamp name no use us looking like we are copying them in mascot, and to the general public football field name.

Tulane already has the Pelican as its mascot.
The CatahoULa state dog would be good.
The Gator/Bullgator would be good due to OUR swamp and gators on campus. It doesn't matter what Florida has done. We have our own traditions and this fits it. With so many bulldogs and tigers out there, the University of Louisiana would be in pretty good company with the University of Florida as the only schools with that mascot. And, one of the posters here has a red gator mascot as an avatar that is almost perfect as a costumed mascot. Would be neat when the stadium is upgraded to build a small enclosed swamp area with a couple of gators in it next to the stadium. We could have 2 gators in it, a male and female, and name they Louie and Anna, fitting names to better capture our LOUISIANA name. Could do the same with costumed characters.

Catahoula hounds would be great

Troy Landry would be a good mascot......

[BrockMeaux]

You joke, but Troy Landry in overalls with a shotgun that he shoots from the porch of a shack (with his catahoula hounds) up on the hill when we score a touchdown would be pretty decent if we got away from turning inanimate objects into mascots.
