Mascot Sighting

[MarlinMan3]

If i were you i would not announce what game or anything, when the suit is ready they might be looking, just show up, hopefully just put the suit on in the Cajun Field area and start going to different tailgate spots.

Take pictures, high five kids and fans etc.
If its me thats what i would do.

Let the fans experience it, how cool it would be.

Right when thet are about to try a field goal slide down the hill in the suit, and catch the ball after it goes through the uprights

Speak for yourself.

I, and many others, don't support this at all. I haven't been very vocal because I made a decision to not get in the way of an organic movement that comes from the fan base IF that is what this was.

Why not agree? It is the perfect mascot for UL. We have live gators on campus at the Swamp, our football stadium is called The Swamp, and the caricature and costume are great. Kids and all fans would love it. To me, the only question is the color of the gator, white, red or green.

And, it doesn't matter that Florida also has a gator mascot and their stadium is also called The Swamp. Doesn't seem to matter to Clemson and LSU that are both Tigers and both stadiums are called Death Valley.

So, obviously, I am all for the gator mascot. What are the objections to it and what alternative mascot would you recommend?

……,,.When referring to our stadium use….” The Original Swamp”….2 feet below ground level!!!.think that is correct terminology!

Bring back the Bulldog!!!!

Bring back the Bulldog!!!!

If you have to bring something back which died a death as unwanted it is probably not worthy

It’s better than this but anything will be better than an albino alligator!!!

Hard to beat neutral.

Why bring back the Southwestern Louisiana Bulldog and have the same mascot as LA Tech? The gator is our true on-campus tradition. If its the color that is problematic, we can agree on something other than white.

Actually, we could have a red gator and a white gator, a male and a female called Louis and Ana, capturing the school name, school colors, and on-campus tradition.

Using your logic, Florida already took our best coach and the Gator is over there in the swamp!!

Don’t need no gator!!!
