Poll on Albineaux the Gator

[Ragin9221]

Simply asking question leads you to the conclusion somebody would have an agenda.

Got it.

So you can add that you actually don't want the conversation to the fact you can't produce a public poll...outside of the one on this thread.

Shouldn’t be his job to produce a public poll. It should be the Universities job to do public polls and if they are negative or positive release them to the peasants(fans).

What’s going on with this so called committee shouldnt they be trying to organize polls? What do they do ?

Y'all want your cake and want to eat it, too.

"Polling shows 80% of the community supports Albineaux."

"We shouldn't have to produce evidence of the poll that we say gives evidence."

I get it. Albineaux is the chosen stuffed animal/costume of (most) of Ragin' Pagin'.

I just don't agree with presenting this small sample size as representative of the entire UL community.

Never did that either.

Nah part of the process of picking a new mascot is polling the students and fans to see what they think about it.

We haven’t even started that process! That’s why the University needs to start now and maybe it can come to fruition.

We haven’t even started that process .

This poll is just that to show that the majority on this board are in favor and not just a little bit but by a lot.

Polling and the process would still have to be started by the University.

Sad thing is it’ll take T-shirts, jackets, and a grassroots effort for them to even consider it.

Which Coullion and others are trying to do.

I have never referred to a public poll other than the one in this thread so why should I need to produce another one?

In post #48 of this thread, you quoted Big Poppa who said, “Reading the public comments there has never been an issue that divides the UL DOMMUNITY more than this albino alligator. It needs to just die now.”

You responded with, “I guess you have no faith in the poll that has almost an 80% approval rate.”

So are you responding to a question about the COMMUNITY implying that 80 of the community favors Albineaux, or are you applying the small sample size of Ragin' Pagin' to the entire community?

Either way, its kind of misleading.

According to this sample size the majority are in favor of it!!

Other research would still have to be done. Coullion already did the leg work and coming with picture, marketing, storyline and usage, and justification for Al the gator mascot.

Your stretch is way too far. I only submitted the poll for what the poll is for. Then I posted that I have never seen any modicum of measure on issues surrounding Louisiana where 80% have ever agreed on an issue. At no time did I say 80% of some larger set would or would not agree. You went there. Those are not my words.

However, I do believe that this poll, however non-scientific it may be is very relevant. Further, I indicated my belief that there is a good chance that the objectors in social media have probably lodged their objection in this pole which could draw an inference that while the objectors may be loud, they also may be few.

Go Get us a Mascot. The Gator proposed here is as good or better than anything else on the table.

I prefer red and a diferent name, but I won't let a little thing like that stop me on something that connects 125 years of campus history with sporting events.

[Ragin9221]

According to this poll I am gonna say the number of fans that attend games are in 15k range.

Now 249 have voted on this poll no matter how unscientific it is that 249 number is way higher then say a political poll who sample size is maybe 1,500 is the base. That poll is based on what will happen on Election Day and that involves millions of votes.

The University based off the sample size needs to do it’s own research and see the percentage would support a gator as a mascot !
Well according to this unscientific poll people will overwhelmingly support it.

[Ragin9221]

That’s why if you are registered on this sight you need to vote on this thread to make the numbers more legit. I promise you if they have a lot that vote on this thread the Administration would have to listen.

Even if you don’t support it let your voice be heard .

Actually, my second choice would be a crawfish named Clovis (with Ms. Fontenot's or her family's permission).

But if that were to come to fruition, I think we have our human subject for the role.

Would you take a large or extra large?

What happenes on KLFY, KATC, FB is they have a reader base that has given this zero thought through the years. Whereas it is a consistent topic for fans.

If you've been living in a vacuum on the topic nothing seems right at first.

ps and based on their coverage most are not fans of the school.
