Grassroots Campaign for the Next UL Mascot

[RedTails]

Make it make sense.

Ok.

Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns - Go Cajuns

[Turbine]

LSU Tigers - Go Tigers
Duke Blue Devils - Go Blue Devils
Georgia bull dogs - Go Dawgs
Florida Gators - Go Gators
Oregan Ducks - Go Ducks
Texas Long Horns - Go Long horns.
ECU Pirates - Go Pirates
The list goes on.

Louisiana Gators - Nah don't you say Go Gators.

Make it make sense.

Those schools ARE those things, their sideline is their identity.

Louisiana is The Ragin' Cajuns and the Ragin' Cajuns have a Gator pumping up the crowds.

This should not even be a question for Ragin Cajuns fans, because based on history alone we know that even having had the most popular cheerleader in the history of sports no one ever called Louisiana fans the Cajun Chickens.

Make it make sense.

And frankly, I’m not interested in being like anyone else. We’re the one and only Ragin Cajuns. Let’s act like it.

Hence, albino, no pigmentation.

But IF…IF this ever gets off the ground, [B]look for some writer at the Vermillion to take issue[\B].

So 7 1/2 people will read it.

hahah bro, we would literally be like those teams you named. No difference. But you know "lets act like it."

Repeat: This is not an issue. No one ever said "Go Cajun Chickens."

That's exactly the point. There are many examples of official monikers not matching the official spirit leader or mascot.

Mais la. The “woke” thing is completely out of left field lol. Nothing about Al has to do with race. That’s all I’m going to address to that.

In regards to the name, I’ve stated on multiple platforms that I’m fine with the final version of Al having a different name. The things can’t change about him is, that’s he is specifically an albino alligator, and his colors. He has to always be white with vermilion eyes. His clothes can be different. His hat too.

That’s the charm of this campaign. I’m not forcing Al on anybody. I’m not some big marketing firm that says their design is perfect and the fans have to like it. That was Cayenne. I’m actively listening to people’s opinions. The school didn’t care to do that before. I’m presenting what I feel is the best foot forward for the university. A lot of people agree with what I’m presenting. That’s why he is getting so much traction.

Question for you, Cory: Have you had the opportunity to show kids Al? If so, interested in their reaction. My two kids (5 and almost 7) love Al. I think that's another important component in this whole thing.

Couillon, as a 50+ year fan of this university, you are making perfect sense in your arguments / goal. Therefore you will encounter rabid opposition from a minority of fans OR institutional indifference. Good luck
