On almost every sideline of a sporting event, there is one unique figure that draws the crowd in like no other: the mascot. From pumping up the crowd with various sideline shenanigans to being the school’s self-proclaimed entertainment officer, mascots serve an important purpose in sports.

In college sports, these figures are household names putting a face to the school’s fan bases.The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns are one of few Division I universities without an official mascot, and it’s been that way since 2013. But Cajun country is hoping that’s not the case for long, as fans are pushing for a new face for the Ragin’ Cajuns.
