It's one of the few mascots you can grow. I've been working all summer turning my deck into a Ragin Cajun deck. No, the trees in the back don't mean I'm a Stanford fan!

Been looking to build a swing stand like that for my wife.how difficult was it? #keepinmindimanaccountant
With a power screw driver with the right fitting. Something that can grip over a bolt, it took me about 20 minutes to put together. Also I thought the price was right. Here it is on Amazon.

LOL!
We can just keep the FDL as a symbol. It's not a mascot. The Ragin Cajuns is a moniker. Like Alabama has the Crimson Tide moniker and an elephant as their mascot. We need a mascot that will also translate into a costumed character. This has been discussed several times in the past. My personal favorite is the alligator. We have a swamp on campus anr out football stadium is The Swamp. A Louisiana alligator makes sense. One of our posters has a red alligator as an avatar that is the perfect mascot. I think it's name is Fideaux. We need to get creative with this. As we are branding athletics as LOUISIANA and use of the FDL, it is the perfect time to get the right mascot.
Houston I totally agree. The pepper should never have been a mascot, only a symbol. The FDL is so much better.
I am relenting on the gator as mascot. It may look like we are copying Florida with it, and the Swamp, but I see no credible source where our Swamp was not the first. In addition we have had gators in "Cypress Swamp" for as long as I can recall
The name Fideaux is perfection. Screw the professionals on Madison Ave. the fans on RaginPagin have totally done it all for the school.
You guys need to lighten up on the pepper and let it grow (sorry) on you. Seriously, one of the many things I love about UL is all of the uniqueness. Not every mascot has to be some fearsome critter. There are plenty of gators, bulldogs, and even tigers around. Only one Ragin' Cajuns and only one pepper. If there was a better manifestation of "Cajun" we would have gone with it already. Heck, we have talked about every other alternative under the sun. Give it a rest and just go with it.
