Albineaux Phase Three is HERE

[Turbine]

Honestly, I disagree. The way he and other folks have lashed out about this has been cringey, and the inflexibility behind the Albino name itself shows a real “my way or the highway” type mentality amongst the Albineaux supporters. He even publicly posted “You don’t have to like the character. You don’t have to like that it’s happening, but it is happening” and brushing aside any concerns about the name or critiques on the concept in general.

They’re on Twitter this week posting contact info, and he specifically is attacking her background publicly. It’s gone way past a grassroots mascot campaign and has taken on a straight up adversarial tone this week.

Would progress years ago have been better? Yeah I’m not gonna disagree with that. But the persistence and recent reaction this week even after UL sent a polite “thanks but no thanks” last year ensures they won’t have a seat at the table anytime soon (if there is a table to speak of anytime soon).

Hhmph. The only cringy aspect is the rampant Albinophobia leakage over from Facebook. There were only slight signs of it on this site the previous two years.

As someone who lives 20 miles south of Lafayette here in Albiville, I resent that cringy distane.

To get over the phobia, don't focus on the back story focus on the awesomeness in front of you.

I was hoping UL would give Cory thousands annually to maintain the game day spirit booster.

I don't know about currently, but Authement told me he gave the guys who run athleticnetwork.net thousands annually to maintain that site. I want to say $10G but it might have been $7G. I just remember it being double what it cost to run Ragin Pagin.

Get behind it Louisiana. Don't treat the concept like an Albitross around your neck.

The American Alligator.

He and every Alligator in the State of Louisiana encompass a history of a specie that goes back, no one knows how far back. Maybe millions of years. They're in every waterway in Louisiana, including our own Cypress Lake. They deserve Tremendous respect.

I believe we could all agree that a live feed of video from our swamp on campus, sent to each of our stadiums would be a great way to show others how special this place is.

Awesome idea.

ps Besides the grass, I don't see green there.

[Swamp]

Awesome idea.

ps Besides the grass, I don't see green there.

Thank you. And yes, they are extremely dark. It seems they have been personified as green during everyone's lifetime. Kids grow up thinking they're green because of every coloring book, cartoon, et al. In that line of thinking is Gainesville. We are not. Louisiana has our own stock in our own Swamp. And that stock is rising. Rise Up.

Will the person with the suit be admitted into the game is the question.

No they would not. Anybody trying to enter the game with their face randomly covered wouldn't be allowed to enter the game either. There's a mask law in Louisiana for a reason.

If you haven't noticed, that's how a vocal minority of the fanbase always act. There way is the ONLY way things should be done. If anyone disagrees they always resort to personal attacks then post university employees contact information & picture anywhere they can.

Ok guys only $20 has been pledged in the last 24 hours. Obviously the momentum has stalled. Turbine and LouisianaB has yet to give me another name to be used when you give someone money and get nothing back. Here is a challenge for both of them. Since you like the mascot idea and fell like anyone that gives money isn't getting shafted. Open challenge for both of you. Why don't both of you write a check to cover the balance needed to make the suit. This shouldn't be an issue since both of you feel safe and secure about money being spent on this project. Obviously others don't feel as sage and secure with their cash as you guys do. Time to bustle up and hustle up!

Man, what got stuck up your butt about this whole thing?

[BabbForHeisman]

Nothing just been attacked and blame for the idea not happening. I'm just the messenger than relayed what MH said about the project.

Noooo…you’re posting 4 times a day about it and responding to every other post about it. That’s about 10x more than “relaying the message”.

You know that. And everyone sees that. So don’t play the “I’m being attacked” card.

If I am posting that often then you saw where i was blamed by Turbine. I will defend myself. Can you tell me why 70% liked the idea in the poll, but 100% of the 70% isn't donating?

Do you plan on hurling expletives at the players if our football team loses to McNeese this year?

Your answers are in front of you.

The poll wasn't asking if they would donate.

It was asking if they liked the idea.

You can like a lot of ideas an not be in a position to pay for it.
