Albineaux Makes his Tailgate Debut

[HoustonCajun]

What is the most popular college mascot? According to Sports Illustrated, it’s the Oregon Duck. Why? Costume quality, cute, unique, high energy, etc. the Chicken was a lot of this. Al is a good start, but needs improvement in all of these areas.

The Chicken never made sense to me. It had no connection to the university. The antics were great, though. Too bad the Chicken wasn't a Gator, then we really would have had something

If there had been a university connection the Fabulous Cajun Chicken would have lived on beyond Russel Heim's abilities.

On the other hand in this era with such tight controls and defuning of everthing, The FCC would have never been allowed to see the light of day.

Russ was The Bud Man before the Chicken. Now, the Bud Man was a great mascot for our school back then. Too bad the administration didn’t seem to like it.

Many other mascots make no sense

-- hilltopper big blob
-- nearly every olympic mascot
-- youppi, expos/canadiens
-- lil' red, nebraska
--- phoenix suns gorilla

Cory did UL a great favor. I really hope this takes off. All sorts of antics possible. Geaux Al.
