2014: Where in the world is Cayenne?

[CajunJack55]

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.

Catahoula. State dog.


Tennessee has the Hound.

A&M has got the Collie.

Louisiana has the Catahoula

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

The gift of the Cajun Chicken and the curse of Cayenne ...

THE SNOUT!

The only way Cayenne can get you attention is to wave its hands around.

The Cajun Chicken could turn its head and catch your eye.

Cayenne is hopeless as a spirit leader.

The better the jaw the better the awe.

[AstroCajun]

The thing is, it's not (necessarily) the idea, its the execution.

And as it relates to the persons responsible for Cayenne (in all of its iterations) I'm in favor of it.

Their execution, that is.

Alligator. State Rep. tile

I don't know how it would be as a mascot, but nothing identifies nationally with the cajun culture like a dam crawfish. Nothing.

Whatever the mascot is, whoever is inside it needs to know what they are doing. The person in the pepper just walks around with goal at all, other than to just look awkward and silly. The dude in the chicken, was probably one of the best entertainers of all mascots. Ever. If the chicken just walked around and did nothing (like the pepper) we would not still be talking about it 15 years after he retired. We would have been glad to see him go.

I like this Idea. A live mascot. Very easy to do. We have this character all over acadia. Have and audition. One that can play the accordion and dance. Mike it up to the sound system. His clothing represent the 1850. No Cajuns or Louisiana printed on the cloth. Belizaire sounds good, but you have many French first names to pick from. You can incorporate the UL dancers in costume with Belizaire playing the accordion in the end zone for there dance routine. Something different.......I have a son-in-law that's in art. I will have him draw up a story board showing what it could look like and present it to whoever can get this going......I like this idea of a live mascot....now tell me what's more CAJUN than this.......

most people forget we had Ragin Cajun as a spirit mascot and he was probably hated more than Cayanne

Atchafalaya Swamp, is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States.

Located in the heart of Cajun Country.

Located in the heart of Louisiana.

Its #1 resident is the Louisiana State Reptile, the Alligator.

"The Swamp" is where the Ragin' Cajuns play football.

"The Swamp" is located in the heart of Cajun Country, on the UL campus.

Its #1 resident is the Louisiana State Reptile, the Alligator.

The Bullgator has lived on the University of Louisiana campus since before the school existed. A fence had to be erected around The Swamp in 1900 to keep the Alligators off of campus prime.

This is a no brainer.

The Alligator is what the rest of the country thinks of when they think of Louisiana. No one will question the legitimacy except us over thinkers.

PLUS it has a VERY LARGE SNOUT

I am not talking about someone in a rubber suit with a head the size of a volkswagon.....I am talking about a live Cajun mascot that can preform.

[ULalum06]

nothing > any of everything ya'll have suggested. We are known as the Ragin' Cajuns...ENUF. The entire nation thinks we have the best nicknames. why do we NEED a mascot? Let the flaming dildo die.
