Albineaux Phase Three is HERE

5. LA RS 14:313 being enforced by University Police (No person shall use or wear in any public place of any character whatsoever, or in any open place in view thereof, a hood or mask, or anything in the nature of either, or any facial disguise of any kind or description, calculated to conceal or hide the identity of the person or to prevent his being readily recognized.)

I think that is for identity unknown.

Otherwise football helmets, and especially football helmets with face shields would be an issue.

He was contacted and told they have zero interest.

Make games fun. "no interest"

Make Tailgating what it was "no interest"

Make sure there is plenty of water "no interest" (till its too late)

When the "no interest" crowd can't envision the need or value "no interest" is a main reason to move forward.

One minute you guys call it a mascot the next a spirit leader. Which is it?

Both.

Campus mascot, game day spirit leader.

The people involved with the decision of a mascot are all on the academic side in the communications and marketing department. The athletic department isn’t the one that has final say.

These are the ones who have 15 easy to buy baseball shirts on Amazon and a dozen softball shirts on Amazon and literally "1" football shirt and zero basketball shirts.

It may be a marathon but every step counts.

more like a million marathons. Its almost like a toddler throwing a hissy fit until they get their way. Depends what kind of parent UL is.

Only 89% of goal left. Baby steps.

We can use that analogy. So, as a fan (child) and administrator (adult), if I wanted to go see my girlfriend and my parents told me no, my mom might say, "You will never see that girl again." I might respond, "I am still going to go see her no matter what you are saying." I sneak out to go see her, and my mom catches me. She might say, "I am taking away your cell phone, I am locking the door, I refuse to let you out of the house."

Let’s consider a different approach. As a parent, one might say, "Look, I have this nice girl over here. She may not be the same, but she goes to school, she has a good head on her shoulders, she goes to church. MOM and DAD (committee) discussed it, and we approve of this girl. Why don't you give her a shot?" I might then say, "Okay, I'll go on a date with her." As a parent, part of your job is to minimize things before they escalate.

So, if the University knew there was a need for a mascot, then they should have provided an alternative!
