Re: Albineaux Update: UL Has Finally Spoken
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! 🤟
