What Should be Louisiana's New Mascot?

[Kritty]

Long time lurker, first time poster. My idea is a rougarou swamp monster would be a fun and unique mascot. It could be named Tye as in Ta Tye. It would brand the Cajun name, would tie in to the swamp on campus, isn’t a gator that is used by another college, is something traditional to Cajun culture, and just would be fun.

I still remember the first time I heard the French old timers mention the Rouga.

New ideas are what it's all about. Rouga is a good one.

If you can actually believe it, the purple and yellow across the basin have actually started using "Louisiana Saturday Night"

Scared to death and generate nothing without stealing it from our work.

For many years we've proposed that here.

How about a metal railing since every kid in the place is drawn like a magnet to a metal rail...jumping, running, mini cheerleading, jump and run around on the tail...adults like a metal rail too..stand and chat, take player pics, take band pics and more...I know, you kids get off my lawn...

. . . you have in the past been an excellent poster, however of recent your bitterness has transformed you into a JMV like poster . . . hate to see you continue that transformation . . . we want the old 71 back . . .

This should be the caricature of Louisiana's on-campus Mascot.

Louisiana's live on-campus Mascot is a tourist attraction and happens to be Louisiana's State Rep.

. . . for the record, neither Roxy or myself are against the alligator . . . just get something . . .

I agree with Turbine they need to be more kid friendly, like Swamp. So here are a few more ideas.
An updated Fabulous Cajun Chicken.
A Lafayette staple, car wash.
Finally, a snowball. Kind of an odd one since LA is hot AF but we are known for our snowballs. The adult version “daiquiri” would be an awesome concession item along with snowballs for the kids.

HA!
