Crack Open The Safe

[Swamp]

Happiness is slave to expectation. We _____ed and complained about nothing to wear last year. It took a ____ing year, but at least someone made something happen. We can't kill them for not marketing and then get mad at them over-marketing.

Fact is, we're so behind on everything and our fans are so starved for attention, things like this are bound to happen. I'm just going to enjoy my vintage stuff and move on.

Also, go support a fantastic local business that gave up their TSAB license to support UL and only UL. Not to mention, of all the vintage stuff, they have the best, by far.

I'm going check 'em out.

Is this opening the door to bring back the bulldog mascot?

Why on earth would we bring back a mascot that's also the mascot of LaTech????? C'mon man. If you think this school is ridiculed now

For sure. No way.

Nostalgia has a strange effect on us us sometimes.

Louisiana

Nickname = Ragin Cajuns

Spirit Leader = Cajuns Chicken/Cayenne


Auburn

Nickname = Tigers/Plainsmen
Mascot = Tiger/War Eagle
Spirit Leader = Aubie the Tiger/War Eagle

Texas A&M

Nickname = Aggies

It is what it is people. Embrace it.

I'll be buying A LOT of Cajun Bulldog merchandise as will nearly all Cajun fans. We LOVE our Bulldog!

Because UL is currently unrelatable to the older generations who loved the Bulldogs, and the "Ragin Cajuns" thing isn't sticking with the younger generations. Y'all always say you want to create some tradition. Go back to the good old days.

I'll keep going

Western Kentucky

Nickname = Hilltoppers
Mascot =a walking Blood clot
Spirit Leader = a walking blood clot

Akron

Nickname = Zips
Mascot = Zippy the female Kangaroo
Spirit leader = Zippy the female kangaroo

Iowa State

Nickname = Cyclones
Mascot = Cy the Cardinal
Spirit Leader = Cy the Cardinal

Navy

Nickname = Midshipmen
Mascot = Bill the Goat
Spirit Leader = Don't need one


The point is that each university has their own story and their own reasons for having particular representation. It might not make sense to an outsider, but the point is it makes sense TO THEM .

The Bulldog makes sense to us. This is all that matters.

Careful. You don't want to give these Marketing Einsteins the idea of a female kangaroo.

I’m on the Catahoula bandwagon. However, make it the bulldog. I don’t care. Give the people SOMETHING.

Catahoula has always been the best choice for many, many reasons, but I think pulling the trigger on a new mascot just isn't going to happen. The best path forward is to embrace our past and move on. Got no problem with that.

IMO, the best choice is the Gator for the Swamp on campus and football stadium. Louis and Ana personify the name of the university. What can be better than that?

ROXY FOR MASCOT . . . black lab with red color, beautiful, ready for action . . .

We've had these arguments ad nauseum. Not doing it again. Enjoy the game tomorrow.

Like the nostalgia idea or not, I know some stores are selling this stuff fast. Several orders for restock on some vintage items placed already. Not sure what they had in inventory to begin with, but positive, nonetheless.

[Turbine]

The buzz and nostalgic fun is great.

The thought of returning to it permanently, not so much.

I do not like that they skipped out on SLII nostalgia while touting 125. A disconnect of sorts.
