01.11.25 Phase Three for Albineaux: Time to Build the Suit

[Turbine]

What happens to the money if yall only reach half the goal to make the "suit"?

Simple.

Head only and borrow shoulder pads

I’m working on my school work while making sure everything is aligned for tomorrow’s campaign presentation.

The two of you asking questions have already made up your mind. That is fine! I respect that! However, it seems like you want to play some “gotcha” game. And also I don’t like engaging with people who are accusing me of trying to take people’s money when I’ve stated my intentions for doing this for almost two years now.

I’m not anyone’s enemy. All this vitriol is kind of ridiculous because all this about is just putting a kid in a costume. People can either like it or not. But that’s beautiful thing to me! I’m giving everyone a choice; a choice they never had before when it came to spirit leaders.

I have no political, institutional, or financial power in this push. I’m relatively unknown alum that has passion, creativity, and is ready to put in hard work to do something possibly very special. If this campaign doesn’t work, we’ll have our that Albineaux or a gator isn’t the thing. But if it works, it’ll be one of the best underdogs stories in mascot history. If you want to know more about me and this project, you can Google any of the interviews I have done on the news and the radio.

For everyone who hopefully hasn’t made up their mind already and wants an answer to the fundraiser question: I’m an indie filmmaker. Part of my job is know how to fundraise for projects that connect to people. I have to know how to pitch projects that have clear end goals for merit, impact, and cost benefit. When you look at the documents tomorrow, I’ll be happy to clear up any confusion.

I appreciate the effort you put into this, but you hadnt answered the question. Whats happens to the money if only 50% of funds needed to make suit are raised? Seems like a very reasonable question

Buy the Head "only" and don football pads

This is the dumbest idea for a number of reasons. First off, "albino", a genetic condition. Second, Florida has the Gator and we are Louisiana - why would we copy another state and their mascot? Third, the Ragin' Cajuns is a diverse community and this idea does not conform with who we are.

I don't see the reasoning on why we should pretend to higher and mightier philosophically than Florida.

Got to remember MH never forgets anything controversial. Like the “Not my Dome” crapola when the CD came into existence. No mascot post TFCC, no controversy. Can’t believe nobody caught this yet.

Running out an albino mascot won’t be received by some in the community as a good idea, hence MH will shoot it down.

Sadly, neither side forgets.

That said, just “showing up” with a mascot head without any type of prior blessing is a recipe for disaster.

I wish you the best.

We don't need to be a copy. We are unique and another "gator" is not.

Which is why I propose tailgating for a year.

We already OWN the Gator.

No need to hide from reality.

People continue to ignore the built-in tradition that we have. Instead of using and developing it, we immediately can it. Wonder why schools like Texas and Michigan have such great tradition and we have none?

[JMV JustMyView]

Excited to show y’all what I’ve been working! Talk to y’all tomorrow. Last image before the drop.

Geaux Cajuns!

The drop got delayed?

Our traditions die because every new coach or outside staff member that comes in wants to create their own traditions and then get rid of the past ones. Remember the Young Ragin' Cajuns run before the football game? Gone. Baseball kept theirs (tradition is a tradition at baseball) but our traditions die because of fan apathy or new coach ego. There is also Learfield, they owns the game events, so if they are not funded, they don't happen, tradition or not. Look what happened to basketball time-outs. They used to be full of contests, fan races (remember the sumo race to flatten the trash bags and the "know the player" contest?) and more; now all gone because Learfield couldn't fund them.
