2014: Where in the world is Cayenne?

Zydeco the BullGator.

Oh by the way, he can wear shoes and smile.

Outside perspective: whoever designed that Gator did an excellent job! It should be the new mascot for the Ice Gators though....
Y'all don't want a gator for a "spirit leader". Eventhough y'all named Cajun Field "The Swamp" long before U of Florida did, national perception would be that UL is copying them with field name & mascot. Also, Florida's big booster in is called the "Bull Gators."
Y'all need something unique like the culture in Acadiana. Since no one wants to bring back a true Ragin Cajun "swamp man".....I say a Crawfish named Claude would suffice.

Catahoula. State dog.


Tennessee has the Hound.

A&M has got the Collie.

Louisiana has the Catahoula

Worst thing to come out of that beatdown Saturday? Another mascot thread.

People have complained about every mascot that we have had. People hated the Ragin Cajun when we had him, people disliked the bulldog when we had him, some people disliked the chicken, especially since it had nothing in common with the university and looked like it was stolen from a chicken joint, and people disliked the pepper. So there are going to be detractors to whatever is chosen and really the spirit costumes are more for the kids in my opinion than anything

the Rougarou would be a great fit unique to Cajun culture and pretty badass

Yep, the Rougarou get's my vote.

We could go with a live mascot...

Why do we need a mascot? We have cheerleaders. Some times less is more.

HOw about this guy??...he could be our Rougaro. Imagine seeing this in the Cajun Dome. The kids would love him. Apperently he is willing to eat worms as well so win win.

Yes! Now that's a great idea. I think everyone would like that.
