Rush Limbaugh methodology at its best.

This ridiculous idea needs to go away. We will never have a mascot named after a genetic condition that makes a non white thing white.

But the fanbase demands it!

You better watch Turbine. He will saying you are negative and helped sabotage the efforts of Corey. Yes this idea needs to go away.

The year of discontent. This will continue until the focus shifts to when the new MBB coach is announced.

The concept of a Gator as our mascot is right on target. Why can't we simply use the red/white gator mascot because of our school colors and not use the Albineaux name reference, which is problematic for many people? There is so much we can do with a Gator mascot and connect the tradition of an on-campus Swamp with the stadium Swamp. Everything that has been created is great, except for the Albineaux name. Go with Louie and Ana to capture our LOUISIANA name or something else we can agree on. Let's not kill the opportunity to have a great mascot for UL.

Yes! I agree. All this is, is a concept if the name is the problem well lets switch the name. If its because the gator is albino will we can do both. Mascot of a white gator named Louie . Lets do it!

Illustrating absurdity by being absurd?

Illustrating absurdity by being absurd?

Not declaring intentions just stating effect.

There is a level of absurdity to a fictitious Albineaux sideline character, but no more than there is to 90% of all sideline characters and certainly an equal match to a Black Panther mascot the other end of the melanin spectrum. One people see as normal, one people see as defective. They are one in the same.

Rush would say something absurd to get people’s attention just to make a greater point.

Rush never meant the absurdity but the ones he directed it to always seemed to take the bait and freak out. He would often come back with a parallel story that suddenly made sense.

Cory has successfully got everyone’s attention and, in the process, exposed the lack of a spirit leader.

I realized he was successful when it was implied that a nickname and a sideline booster were somehow required to match.

I’ve been saying this since I started chiming in last week - the pro-Albineaux crowd is so hopelessly married to the concept as-is and they won’t hear any criticisms of the concept as it is.

The only person that I have seen be unwavering on the albino aspect is the creator. I am pro-gator. And I am pro-gator solely for an in-game mascot and fun kid apparel merch.

I'm actually pro-anything but nothing.

Even the color is a pretty terrible idea. A white mascot will be a brown mascot by the end of the season.

Problem Solved
1. Red/white gator
