I stop by the Swamp on campus whenever I get a chance. Always been involved in Louisiana hunting/fishing. Cypress Lake is a microcosm of Sportsman's Paradise not just in the heart of the city, but an element of UL that we have all walked by 100s of times. 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.
How big is the biggest gator in cypress lake? Also how old?

Ok…I like where you’re going with this. I just don’t like the whole live feed aspect. Let me chew on it.
Are the same gators from 20 years ago at Cypress Lake or do they cycle them out?
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.
