Albineaux Update: UL Has Finally Spoken

[Big Buds]

They just don’t care. It’s pretty obvious at this point.

Let’s say there was a GoFundMe, hypothetically. Then a costume was purchased, hypothetically. Then s football season ticket was purchased , hypothetically. Would Al be allowed to attend games?

I don’t see why not if I want to show up to UL events in a chicken outfit there is nothing against that.

I think showing up at UL sporting events before or outside the stadium would be a terrific idea.

I did start a go fund me page on albineaux the gator, but looking into the logistics

First is taxes, since it isn’t a charitable thing I would have to pay taxes on the money donated.

Second is if we don’t raise the money needed I hate for the people donated to lose that money because we couldn’t get to 9,000 or whatever it took to build the mascot!

Third I hate asking people to give money, I know it’s a gofundme but I feel like I am asking for money.

Fourth if we got the money and paid the taxes and got it built we need to have someone that is willing to show up before the games and play Albineaux the Alligator, which I can’t do because I work almost every weekend I could maybe do 2 or possible 3 games a year.

So it would have to be someone willing to stick there neck out there and can show up to events.

So I did start a gofundme, which I will post, but be mindful of all the things I just put at the top, I am trying to figure out the logistics in all that has to be done.

This is my first go fund me page and know nothing about this !! This took me 4 seconds to do which is scary because I figure be a lot more to it. I feel like I almost need to meet up with a lawyer to just discuss about a gofundmepage lol.

Plus y’all have no clue who I am. Which it would be hard for me to give money to someone I never met, specially on a message board.

So I wish there was a group of people that can really organize this and really do it the right way to actually get this done the correct way.

Like I said I know nothing about this, and also most if not all know nothing about me.

I feel like it needs to come from someone in the community or the fans on Ragin Review to take over this effort and set up a go fund me page.

Also having a forum or Avenue to promote this mascot idea !

Fun Fact/Albineaux Update: The first time the phrase “Ragin’ Cajun” was ever recorded was in 1950 to refer to a Cajun Korean War fighter jet unit. Below is the mascot they used to show off their Cajun Pride. This comes from a researched blog post by Shane K. Bernard. In that post, he talks about the first time USL used Ragin Cajuns, and how it took ten years of “informal adoption” before the university finally embraced its Ragin’ Cajun identity.

“Informal adoption” will be the blueprint to Phase 3 of Albineaux’s Campaign. I’ll layout the full plan towards the end of my semester, but I just want everyone to know that this will be our path moving forward. With the university deciding to focus on other matters, the keys to creating another vital part of UL’s history has been given BACK to the Acadiana community. Phase 3 will make sure you won’t ever feel powerless in the mascot conversation ever again. Can’t wait to share the plan and taking another step history with y’all! GEAUX Cajuns! 🤟
