Why did UL get rid of the Cajun Chicken?

[RaginDave]

So I would guess we’re upgrading from our annual visit from Red Panda to one night of the Fabulous Cajun Chicken. Nice move UL, FCC will draw better than RP.

Red Panda is very talented and fun as a halftime entertainment, but I will take the FCC over the RP all day long!!!!!

I attended UL between 88-93 and loved every minute of the Chicken, glad he is back even if for only 1 night. I unfortunately will not be able to attend the game as I am flying out for work at 5:30 AM the next morning and need my beauty sleep.

UL absolutely needs to offer to buy the FCC persona. Get several costumes and run annual auditions by the students who learn the classics. The original FCC should be a judge and create new skits as long as he’s able to or wants to.

IMO he never took away from the action, but added lots to the games.

This is a great Idea. Maybe it should be a student with a couple of apprentices.

They got rid of him because it was offensive to Chickens.

especially chickenhawks and covid cants

In 1999, the administrators called me in for a meeting. They told me I was getting too popular, becoming too much of a distraction. People didn't want to see the band, they didn't want to see the team. They wanted to see me perform. I wasn't an official mascot. And I was taking away from the students & the school brand. I agreed with that assessment & we decided I should retire.

That's for sure the take I got from the interview. But what do I know.

I definitely remember the supposed "distraction" controversy.

Scott was back in the studio to kickoff February with a breakdown of the Sean Payton trade to Denver, the Saints return, the state of the Pelicans after a dreadful January, UL hoops, UL softball, and more.Plus, interviews with the Fabulous Cajun Chicken, and UL softball coach Gerry Glasco.

Answer: He was too popular. One more confirmation why this school has the worst administration of any in America. You ____ can someone because they're too good? Perfect example of a group think which says we are so small minded & scared of success, we will do whatever it takes to stay middle of the pack at best.

Tell us you have no clue what you're talking about without telling us

Give or take some minute nuances, Bandwagon King is accurately retelling the frustration story from the perspective of the person who created the Fabulous Cajun Chicken persona, lived it and made it into Cajun lore.
