Mascot Musings

Personally I really like the Rougarou! I think if you make him cartoonish with big red and white stripped overalls! I think it is easily recognizable, and it would be different just do a wolf outfit!

You just need something like this. You think anyone knew what the Fanatic was before it first appeared in Philly? You think anyone knew what the Chicken was before it appeared at USL. We need some bigger than life character in a suit with an ambitious wearer. It will make a name for itself and we will have a mascot. We need to JUST DO SOMETHING

If you paint the dog you no longer have a Catahoula, you just have a painted dog.

You can find certain bloodlines of Catahoula that show close to red and white coats if you want, but the dog color is irrelevant. The TAMU and Tennessee mascot dogs are nowhere near their school’s colors.

When your nickname is a group of people, your mascot is either a physical representation of them like Cajun Man or ND’s leprechaun or a background figure that further defines who you are as an institution like a State Dog.

A spirit leader can be your mascot or just be another background figure. It can be anything, like WKU’s blood clot.

I like the State Dog because it bolsters our claim as UL. The Catahoula’s history is the history of our state. We are a Gumbo of different influences, just like the Catahoula. It is well known for its bravery and loyalty. I would be proud to tell this story to anyone. Not difficult at all.

He brings back a lot of nostalgia, but when I was a toddler, I remember going to a basketball game and he tried to give me a high five but I was too scared LOL. Eventually I started to like him as I got older tho.

Speaking of things needing explaining didn’t Ole Miss get a shark when they let Johnny Reb retire? What’s dat about
