Albineaux Phase Three is HERE

I could see donors dropping out given the history with people opposed to Cajuns already. If someone owned a business, they may not want to be associated with that mess again, especially since “woke” isn’t dead in some fields.

For the 70% who like the idea they sure aren't donating.

Lafayette in a nutshell.

Lack of a mascot.

Im not promoting anything. Listen to the source and save your money was the message from the start. I guess some folks can chalk that up to experience.

I really don't care if I get my money back or not. Right now, the money I sent Cory is that much more than UL Athletics is getting from me this year. It's the first truly original idea we've had for a mascot since the chicken, and it was rejected without so much as a thought. What has Martin Hall done for the past decade?

You can say it's the wrong animal, wrong color, wrong disability, that's all fine and good. But for Pete's sake, come up with something else then! Or work with a guy who clearly has the energy and motivation to do something that no one else is even thinking of doing.

To me, money well spent.

You might want to get your facts straight before believing the news about him receiving a "cease and desist". I have to say, it's really strange the hate this dude is receiving from some fans for this. Whether you like the mascot or not, and I have a different preference of what it should be....but keep in mind how this administration won't do any work for actual fan engagement, but will surely roll up their sleeves and get to work to stop those that will!
And THAT folks is the real story, here. This is blowing up in their dumb faces and I'm here for it. It's a damn shame you have to embarrass and humiliate them before they'll lift a fkn finger to do anything.

Exactly

Great points all around.

If the university's "marketing team" doesn't have the drive to or budget to do something, work with the remaining fanbase that actually cares.

Curious how you know it was rejected without a thought?

With a lack of communication, no one truly knows- unless you're in the very tiny inner circle

[Turbine]

Are you saying a few different people didn't tell me that they would stop supporting UL if this happened? Other folks have also told me that people told them the same thing. Why would you need to know my source or who said they would drop their support? It irrelevant as the idea will not happen.

Judging strictly from your posts on this topic, its not a stretch to think you planted, fertilized, and harvested this idea out of them

[AirBill]

Curious how you know it was rejected without a thought?

Because I've been around long enough to know that old habits die hard at Martin Hall.

This 1000x

You would be incorrect on this one. I trust my sources sir.

So what do your sources say? The reason we don't have a mascot / spirit leader anymore is because MH doesn't want one? Or because it's been working furiously under a special secret covert program for the past ten plus years, and just can't come up with the perfect replacement for Cayenne?
