Our Mascot?

[Turbine]

I want the Catahoula and taught to fetch the tee after the kick off. Don't care what color (he or she) is......Don't tell me this wouldn't make a great Mascot.

Very nice, what kind of dog is that?

Seriously few inside and fewer outside of UL will get the breed, much less the connection.

Alligators on the other hand are 100% associated with Louisiana. I found that out when I was 5 years old visiting relatives in Nebraska and later when relatives from Colorado and California were passing though.

Guess what was high on their list to see? Not dogs.

Doesn't matter that Florida is gators or that their stadium is called swamp. There are many schools called tigers and probably stadiums called Death Valley or other similar nomenclatures. Gators are notoriously Cajun country icon and UL Cajun field has a history behind being called the swamp. and our mascot lives in our current swamp! We need to make this happen for next year. HUD can make this happen. Someone get his attention and get this done. I'll put up a grand to help fund. The Ragin Cajuns are becoming a nationally known team and has what it takes to be unique and generate a lot of enthusiasm and new fans outside of area. Everything that adds value to our brand needs to be taken advantage of NOW. Geaux Cajuns!!!!!!

You might be able to have both.

We can ask Boise when the come to The Swamp about Buster Bronco and their tee fetching dog.

The only thing we should retain the pepper for is to use as an apostrophe on Ragin'. We don't even need it for "Louisiana's" anymore as we dumped that "s" too. The red gator & catahoula are both good (prefer the reptile over the dog). But please, no human based mascot. It will breed 2x the negative reaction than positive.

So there will be two 1-A schools with the Gator. How many Bulldogs and Tigers are out there?

I read once over 40 schools use Bull Dogs. I don't recall the D1 breakdown.

That's a red Catahoula Hound. Now picture that coming out the tunnel before the team instead of some student in a pepper getup......We don't have a mascot, we have a sprite leader. We haven't had a mascot since Gee.....That cat in the dumb Cajun suit, well that was dumb. That's all I can say about that.......let's get the hound and call him "Gatorhoula" and be through with the mascot post.......

We need to film one like this with Hud for the pregame video. Jumping out of an exploding airplane and riding down to earth on a gator.
