Sucky Black Uniforms

_ Just to comment as a student on the mascot thing, we are all terribly embarrassed by that friggin pepper....

To be more precise, by all I do mean a vast majority. I also have family members who were athletes here at USL who are equally as embarrassed. _

So lets put our nawgins together and try to come up with something original yet not embarassing.. well , let's see.. the pelican would be kind of stupid.. the gator would be good if not taken already. the " big ass cajun head man was kind of a joke".. the chicken doesn't make sense..the "bulldog was great but faded".. a big boudin linkman would probably look silly too. unless he would be eatable...." that's a joke".. I really can't think of a mascot that would "stand out" and be recognizable to the country that we all could be proud of.. I really wish someone could come up with something so unique it would start a tradition..what symbolizes cajuns that we can be proud of?..this is very tough.maybe if we steer away from the "critters" and concentrate on a "symbolic issue".. the saints have their fleur delis. maybe if we put our heads together some ideas will surface... cuz , really, the pepper isn't getting it..

_ Interesting link.

So who go the better looking deal? McNeese in 2005. or FIU in 2006? _

McNeese the best looking uniforms in both pictures are the red and white ones

Our colors are vermillion and white, period.! Not black, not orange, but VERMILLION AND WHITE.

I don't mind a little faint black trim, but that is it.

What about our athletic gear deal? Adidas, Nike, Under Armor? We need something.

And if you were not there, do not comment on them.

Now that's a meatball remark if their ever was one.......

How about we just use a different dog, like maybe a Catahoula Hound or something, similar to University of Tennesee's "old smokey". Hell, we could even name him "Catahoula".

I always thought that would be cool. I figured that somehow a hound didn't garner the respect we keep "demanding"... so we went with the pepper... fear the pepper.

Maybe Frenchie or Cajun Charlie can help me out but I think we had a dog awhile back by the name of "Gumbeaux". Maybe dig him up and bring him back.

Just for the heck of it and because I love an underpepper, I'm going to appoint myself Citizen Dildeaux's public defender (trust me, it's strictly preaux boneaux work).

I'll rest my case here -

Dildeaux's not something I want on my ammo vest or my speedo but he's sure enough a cute and quiet guy that all the children at Cajun events seem to enjoy. He does no more harm to anyone than the Buckeye of Ohio St. or the Stanford tree. Besides, aren't there a couple of schools that have an okra and an artichoke running loose on their sidelines? Am I just imagining that?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if WKU can get away with a blood clot, pomegranite looking whatever for a mascot, we ought to feel blessed with a big red pepper. I say invite the "Energizer Bunny" in for few joint appearances with Dildeaux and really get the place rockin'.

First half was funny. Second half was embarrassing in how you gauge acceptance by measuring against the bottom of the barrel. Sure it can always be worse but why even come close to being sickeningly bad much less wallowing it. Finally please don’t judge a stuffed animals appeal by a child they will endorse a purple Barney if allowed to.

The whole thing was intended to be funny, Chance, so I guess I won't be getting "the call" from the Comedy Channel or SNL.

Bottomline right now is I could care less about what mascot or spirit figure or whatever animal, vegtable or mineral we have. It just isn't a big deal for me one way or the other but if he/she/it interests my 6 year old granddaughter and makes her smile then I like it for that reason. Seriously.
