Say what you want about the pepper.

No, do not mess with perfection. It should be Fideaux.

Would whoever has the Fideaux red alligator avitar please post it? It is awesome and just what we need.

I was about to suggest the Catahoula. It is a very smart and tough dog.

Oh no not the swing itself.the deal you hung it on. I have a swing my parents bought me and my wife for our old house in Mire that we never put up cause we knew we were about to move to Lafayette.

Yea a gleamed that after a while. It is a strange configuration held together by some really big bolts. If your good at cutting and hauling large pieces of wood, digging, leveling, pouring concrete and drilling then I would attempt it. Probably better to call a carpenter. See my hanging a door post. DIYing it cost me 1,200 where if I would have just called a pro it would have cost me 800.

Catahoula dogs are great for traits but terrible for branding. Their DNA is mixed up to the point where they all look different and to the rest of the world often look like mutts.

Now having said that UL has a small history of picking up a mutt as a mascot. In 1943 they adopted a street mutt named Willoughby.

I use to own one and she was as smart as a whip. IMHO they are beautiful dogs and not scared of anything.

Catahoulas are great, but if we're going with an animal mascot, an alligator is the best option, in my opinion, because it ties into our campus with the live alligators in the swamp.

I'm not opposed to the Gator. The whole it's Florida's thing doesn't wash with me. It seems there are like 20 Bulldog teams. The pepper from hell has got to go.

Just an FYI, Centenary College adopted the Catahoula as their live mascot in 2007

So, the State Dog is taken up by Centenary and the State Bird is taken up by Tulane. The Gator becomes the more obvious choice now.

I just found the Gator avitar - Fideaux. This is what we need.

That sounds like the ammo I need to call a professional sir. You have helped me out more than you will ever know. #moretimetopostonraginpagin

i dont mind the pepper on a hat or something, with out the flames and keeping it to a small scale. whatever that thing running around the games is needs to get blown up. but as a rear collar accent or on a hat or something, the pepper (sans flames) i like.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yes they did, but so what? They are currently a NCAA Div III school. We can still have the hounds.

So if we want a unique mascot lets get that chameleon lizard DNA into our gators to get the color we want.
