Our Mascot?

[TravlnCajun]

Auburn, Missouri, Clemson, LSU, Memphis .... 3 in one conference

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.

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.

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.

The tri FDL is about as ugly as it gets.

Where is the Fideaux red gator avatar? Can somebody post? Would make a perfect costumed mascot. Louisiana and Florida - both with gators and the Swamp. Puts us in pretty good company. The ONLY 2 schools in the country. We can have 2 gators, one named Louis and the other Ana. Just helps to better capture the Louisiana name.

Don't think Clemson and LSU are hurt by both being the Tigers and both stadiums called Death Valley, not to mention both fight songs are Hold That Tiger. Come to think of it, doesn't every school with a tiger mascot have that same fight song? I know Memphis does.

Gorgeous dog.
I'm sold.
No more talk about copying Florida with Gators and Swamps, we aren't desperate. I see the single Fleur as a copy of the Saints as well. Tri-Fleur is just as bad. Stick to Ragin' Cajuns. Go retro with Cajuns script for special home affairs, or even break it up with the old Acadian flag once in a blue moon. This isn't hard.

I agree, you can't copy (it isn't copying) what you own, and owned first.


Time to move on, no more copy talk. I would much rather be winning arguments with Florida than ULM.

How awesome is it when Auburn sends there War Eagle on the field, or Texas has Bevo on the sidelines. We need to have gumbeaux the live alligator brought to the stadium every home game. Even Florida could not pull that one off.

I know we do not like LSU but you have to think what they do right. They set themselves apart by bringing a tiger on the field and actually have a habitat on campus. We need to do the same thing we have a swamp on campus with a Alligator we need to use it.

Also we need to have a Red Gator as a mascot leading the team and fans to victory.
