Centenary College Starting Football in 2024

Two of the same "in the same state" influenced the change way back when.

That, and what some deemed to be high maintenance and some difficulty in keeping the dogs alive.

Why would we not want a mascot that is one of our few campus traditions, The Swamp and Gator? Other than being the State Dog, UL has no ties to the Catahoula, much less having 2 universities with the State Dog as a mascot. For that matter, we could go with a Pelican as the State Bird. I guess it doesn't matter that Tulane now uses it. I get it, we are all entitled to our opinion, but why do we always seem to fight the obvious?

I didn't say anything about the gator. I said the Catahoula should not be disregarded based on Centenary.
