Mascots at Cajun events

[JMV JustMyView]

Since the alligator was a no go maybe they can hire the Chick-fil-A mascot since the cow was at Lamson Park Sunday. Kind of weird the cow was at the game on a Sunday since the restaurant was closed.

... the cow was at Lamson Park Sunday....

LOL

Its like they got an information vision and half misinterpreted its meaning as being Bovine, so 'Cows allowed'

Irony: Female Alligators are also known as Cows.

Speaking of mascots, here is an interesting article out of The Vermilion regarding this topic. This particular quote made me laugh.

" 'While we appreciate your enthusiasm, this unauthorized concept does not align with the University’s brand, its values or interests. Your continued promotion of this idea on social media and other platforms has the potential to harm our strong national reputation by creating brand confusion. Further, the University has a responsibility to say that it is not affiliated with, does not endorse and does not control any efforts to fundraise in support of the concept.'

Even though Stephens replied to the mascot creation efforts, there was still a GoFundMe open and active. So, instead of letting the money go to waste, Stephens proposed that Ewart use the money to support scholarships and student programs, ending the letter by stating, 'Supporting these areas will ensure the University’s continued success and growth – an outcome all Ragin’ Cajuns can surely endorse. All the best, and Geaux Cajuns!' ”

LOL. So in other words, "We don't like your mascot idea, but hey! All that money raised for your cause, just give it to us!" The nerve.

Wow

Wow, a cow mascot roaming the hallowed grounds of our sporting events? Has someone told Chick-Fil-A that cows don't align with our brand, its values or interests? Someone get the communications dept on this ASAP.

The admin doesn't GAF. Yall should know this by now. These clowns talking about "could cause brand confusion". They're in charge and they can't keep themselves from causing brand confusion.

How about no?

Sad to see the mentality about trying to reappropriate dedicated funds is still rampant in Martin Hall. If those donors wanted to provide money for those other things they would have

We have a very liberal administration at Martin Hall. DEI well entrenched.
