The administration idea of a mascot!
A fighting okra and a cayenne pepper
I am trying to think how you would brand that as a mascot? Cajun Man? Troy Landry? A man in a FDL outfit? A Mardi Gras King? A Cajun Jester?
I am thinking what could work ?
Something not a Gator I mean I guess there is other options.
I think I found it. We been over looking it the entire time
Sounds like a horrible excuse not to get anything done ! Yeah I don’t think anyone on this board or anywhere else is advocating getting rid of Ragin Cajuns.
Not saying you said that now how that is branded I mean it could be branded any number of ways.
I just think the most acceptable and the most popular method.
Who doesn’t associate Gators with Cajuns or Acadiana or Louisiana?
I mean Tulane is the Green Wave but have a Pelican as a mascot .
I'm not making any arguments for the administration, that's their job. I have my own opinion and stated it without the personal attacks. If you and others have a different opinion cool. I have stayed out of this conversation for the most part and social media has become the battle ground of stupidity at times.
The Golden Rule of nicknames:
If your nickname is a group of people, then your mascot must be a physical representation of said people or a background figure that either helps define said people or is just a fun spirit leader.
Having a mascot that would cause confusion as to what is the real nickname or lessen the real nickname would be breaking the Golden Rule.
I'm guessing they see the alligator as an agent of confusion and/or taking away from the uniqueness of Ragin Cajuns (One and Only).
