Our Mascot?

[CAJUNTODD44]

With the popularity of swamp people, we could get recognition of Ragin Cajuns and a gator

[BrockMeaux]

******* seven stars for that unique name. Way to go irokcj5. Absolute ten on the hit parade.

I like that one as well. Only issue would/could be the Saints' St. Bernard mascot, Gumbo. Roux as an alternative because it has the same Cajun pronunciation and is involved in lots of Cajun cooking, especially gumbo (save for okra gumbos).

[CajunEXPRESS]

Gumbo has been gone for decades. Anyway a gator named gumbeaux vs a St Bernard named Gumbo is too different to worry. Not too keen on roux.

[Turbine]

Roux is reserved for recruiting ... rec-roux-ting.

"It all begins with the roux"

----OK stop --right NOW---please don't mention this but go have the copy write done----NOW---a great idea and I can see the LSUs and the Saints and the rest of the pack using it---NOW!!!!

Oooh, oooh, lets side line the thread.

Love the idea of a Ragin Cajun pet gator named Gumbeaux.

Snaps for you sir. ^This guy gets it

The Cajun Man was awesome.

The Cajun Man was awesome.

I never had a problem with Cajun Man even though I can remember many that hated him just as much as the pepper. I never had a problem with the bulldog coming back and the live bulldog on the sidelines. The chicken was always fun even though it had nothing to do with our school brand. I really never hated the pepper, I would like it to be done a little better but don't have a big problem with it. But no matter what is decided on not everyone is going to like it and this argument will go on

Texas A&M Aggies.......Mascot = Collie

Tennessee Volunteers.......Mascot = Blue Hound

Louisiana Cajuns.......Mascot = Catahoula (State Dog)




By not using the Tri-fleur and going with the lone FDL, people think we are copying the Saints.

By calling our stadium The Swamp, people think we are copying Florida.

By having a Gator Mascot, people will think we are copying Florida.


All we have to do is embrace those things that identify with the State of Louisiana and Acadiana ike the Tri-Fleur and the Catahoula that make us unique. We are making this way too hard.
