Cajuns on ESPN Gameday

_ That isn't all they make. I've seen plenty of hats with UL, ULL, Louisiana, or Louisiana-Lafayette on them...but those are all in Lafayette and nowhere else. In most other parts of the country, UL is Louisville, even though they prefer U of L.

Actually, Louisville primarily uses the old english "L" only.

_ I completely disagree. One of the main things I learned from the marketing program at UL and my time in the marketing department with a professional sports team is you try to create a unique brand that makes you easily and immediately identified by people. The Cajuns have that with both the mascot name and the pepper. All I know is every hat I have seen in Houston and other places outside of Lafayette have either had Cajuns or the pepper on them. It is the same reason people buy South Carolina and Fordham Univ hats, they are unique. I can tell that you don't like the pepper, but I don't really think that is what should matter to the school. I think that it is to continue to spread the brand. But I think we can agree that nothing does that better than winning.

I like the pepper. The only problem I have is they called it a "Chili" pepper which to me says Mexican. The UL pepper is a Cayenne pepper his name is Cayenne and that to me says Cajun.

Few things divide us like "The Pepper"

Our segment is towards the end. Cool video _

It appears that the video is no longer available. I missed this piece. Had to hear about it from a friend at church. Nice job SID. Can I find it somewhere else?

You realize people buy the pepper hats for the EXACT same reason they buy South Carolina and Fordham hats?
