    I wonder if that position would be different had Napier not gone onto Florida. Hmmm …

    That is "mental gridlock" through and through.

    "Florida" (Spurrier) didn't bat an eye when resembling the The Swamp after seeing Brian Mitchell's "Sultan of the Swamp" media guide cover.

But the whole lives of the LOUISIANA Alligators in it, they've been watching us. Yes, we've had many logos, characters, mascots... some loved, some not so much. Cypress Lake though, ends the debate. Not one potential student, potential recruit, student, faculty, Alum, etc., etc. can deny the fact that, that lil' Swamp has always been our identity. We are turning the page, the future UL is upon us, the demo/reconstruct of the Swamp is here.

    I have never seen another Program offer an in stadium video feed of a living, breathing mascot in his true, actual environment on Campus. I think we have a Winner here, from the good folks of RP.

    LFG.
    Ok…I like where you’re going with this. I just don’t like the whole live feed aspect. Let me chew on it.

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    You didn't say you thought it, you said "administration" so no messenger backlash involved.

    Once they reach a certain size they are moved. You don’t want larger older gators fighting for territory on campus. If you want to see large gators, I can bring you to some places near my house. One of the joys of living in the swamp.

    Somewhere in the 8’ range if I recall correctly.

    I understand up near the locks on the Teche Lake Canal there are some beasts.

    Probably the size of the picture took and showed you, it was 11 feet and I've not seen one larger.

    They may have downsized since then.

    Once they reach breading ages, they get cycled out. It varies, but generally 6-7’ for females and 7-8’ for males.

    Anything larger than that in a low fence environment, with dumbass students it could turn into something funny or tragic depending on your humor.
