I think I have an idea: so we obviously want a mascot who can represent Louisiana well, right? Well how about we have our mascot be a costume that looks like Clifton Chenier? His name could be King Clifton. I think some of the longtime Acadiana natives would like that!

Poo poo would be better than that

Still like that gator idea last thread. Put an old-style inflatable Hitachi rice cooker in the corner of the endzone (sponsored by Hitachi) and have some waist-up costumes for sausage, celery, onion, bell pepper, and the Cajun chicken to let fans dress up as and race to the pot during a commercial break or halftime for a prize. Similar to how Milwaukee Brewers do the sausage race.

Put a chef hat on the gator and he can be at the finish line.

I had a work video call today with a potential supplier. I saw in his background that he had a bunch of KU Jayhawks pictures behind him. I was wearing my UL gear and we started talking sports.

Turns out he was the trainer for the Ku mascot. Baby Jay I guess.

I thought it was cool and he started throwing recent events he’d been a part of. National championship in basketball last year. He said he was still recovering from game day last Saturday.

KU got their rings for BBall tonight. He got one.

I tell that story to say this. I’ll coach a mascot if I get a ring. Even a Sunbelt championship. Can we get someone to even be a mascot?

I think if you pump that up for a game. “We will announce the UL mascot!” You draw so many more people to whatever event you’re promoting.

Oh I got another one I looked up Cajun Folklore. Here is what I got we can have a fairy. Call her LeFeuFollet

The legend of Le Feu Follet.

Also known as the Cajun Fairy, it appears as a phosphorescent ball of fire in the swamps and marshlands of Louisiana. While it can sometimes take the forms of loved ones, it is also said to have a devilish version which also takes the form of a ball of light. Its goal is to confuse those who follow the light until they become lost in the swamps, eventually drowning. So if you ever find yourself in a swamp at night, maybe don’t follow the light, ok?
