Grassroots Campaign for the Next UL Mascot

[CajunNation]

Pure confusion with Lafayette Leopards

Only in your mind Turbine.

If we were to choose the Catahoula, I am 100% certain you would never see any reference to leopard. It is not required. The only people who would mention it would be our haters and those wanting to foment dissension. The same thing would be true if we chose Gators.

If we did choose Gators, I would be completely on board. I hope you would say the same if we choose Cataholuas.

Louisiana needs to reclaim it's alligator heritage.

Louisiana needs to PROCLAIM it's Catahoula heritage.

ESPN already confuses Louisiana with Lafayette College and puts up the "Lafayette Leopards" logo from time to time.

It's been over a year since I saw a thread with Lafayette Leopards but if Catahoula Leopards becomes a thing, I know the confusiom won't only be in my mind

Louisiana needs to PROCLAIM it's Catahoula heritage.

That's the thing, the proclamation would be starting from scratch.

Weak excuse.

The guy is a choad. Many people still call CF The Swamp.

Check out the Official Football media guide and get back with me.

Yes! My father got me one when we went to a New Orleans Buccaneers game at the old Loyola Field House. Wish I still had it!!

As for the Catahoula Hound, I get the idea of it being unique for a mascot, but it won't push the Brand the way a Gator will!!!

For the first 17 years, Louisiana’s football stadium was simply known as Cajun Field. In the summer of
1988, then-Strength & Conditioning Coach Mickey Faulkinberry suggested referring to Cajun Field
as “The Swamp”. The name stuck for various reasons. To start, the field surface is set two feet below
sea level in a natural bowl.

Do you know how many schools use the tiger mascot?

Cajun field has been called the Swamp for longer than Florida. Spurrier got the idea after seeing Brian Mitchell's Sultan of The Swamp media cover.

T, you beat me to it. I've heard the exact same thing about Spurrier.

[Turbine]

Weak excuse.

Reality

T, you beat me to it.

That picture is priceless and speaks volumes.
