2006 BullGator Mascot Idea

[Pirogue]

Isn't a catahoula hound just a mixed mutt? I had never heard of them before.

don't know too much about dogs?
The dogs are actually very interesting... and recognized as the state dog of Louisiana...

In this part of LA the Catahoula is a well known breed of dog. Of course any breed can have "mutts", if they crossbreed. In this case we are talking pure bred.

The Catahoula is an old breed of dog, one that is used for working cattle, hogs, and wild animals. They are brave, intelligent, and spirited. They adapt to obedience training, and require exercise or work to lower their level of energy. One of the biggest faults of the breed is that some are born deaf, which really makes them useless.

108 years too late. Making a guy in a Bobby Jindal costume look viable. "T- minou" the red and white striped Cajun Tiger makes as much sense. Give it up Turb.

I've been playing around with new mascots, just because I really don't like Cayenne. So I liked Turbine's idea of using a Bull Gator, since they are indigenous to Louisiana and their is only one other team in the country that uses the mascot. Now I love Ragin Cajuns, and that should be our bread and butter, but why not use a gator just as our mascot. Here is my rendition of what it could look like, I liked Fideaux (pronounced Fy-Doe), just because I heard it somewhere and it made me laugh, but I also like Rage as a name too. I wasn't really sure about the cut off blue jeans but I figured why not, just wanted to get some opinons on it. Because from what I understand there are alot of people like me, that just don't like Cayenne so maybe if some influencial people see my idea and like it, they can pass it on to the governing bodies who make these decisions. Gimmie your opinions, like, what I can change, or if you just don't like it at all. I did it with a simple paint program so its not gonna be perfect. Also I started with just a plain Gator I found on the internet, and added the Jersey, and pants. I don't know what kind of copy right there is on that Gator but I'm sure we could use a similar one. Lemme know what yall think.

I'll say what know one else will. Looks like a gaytor. Just saying, can't be the only one out there thinking this. Please don't take as a personal attack even though I do disagree with the mascot idea of a gator.

The gator is featured in more UL yearbooks,than any other animal or mascot.

Still trails live oak, spanish moss and in separate poll- former Governor Bobby Jindal. Maintains narrow lead over "T-Minou" the red and white striped Cajun Tiger.

Revisit your yearbooks, live oaks and Spanish moss appear more than alligators. It's not even close. I'm personally fond of alligators, have even owned a pair of Catahoula curs years ago but acknowledge they too are a poor choice for a UL mascot. Take this from someone with the foresight to have never voted for Jindal. Next time you can't sleep try counting sheep instead of gators.
