As far as I can tell there is no such thing as a "Ragin' Cajun" outside the University of Louisiana. If there were, finding a resentative mascot would be a no brainer.

From all my research I have come up with a Ragin' Cajun as being a UL athlete.

Here was what I call the original "naked pepper," the one they paid good money for :confused:

Here is the very genesis of UL using the pepper 1983 season ticket drive.

I wonder if they envisioned it becoming a mascot?

Forgive me if my words sound harsh.

Better than being stuck in the past, let's move on. The Cajun Chicken and Cajun Man and Bulldog are gone for good. End of story. Cayenne is our mascot and our nickname is Ragin Cajuns. If you don't like something about Cayenne, or if you have some suggestions on what you wanna see him do, I've included below the contact information for Union Program Council's Ross Walters, the advisor for Cayenne. Send him a letter, email, or contact him and give him some ideas.

Sid, how long have you been in the suit? I have noticed a marked increase in the enthusiasm of the pepper lately. People will accept cayenne if you put the time and passion into it. A mascot needs to encite the crowd and give them free stuff! Keep on keepin on.

There was nothing "Cajun" about the Russell Heim bit (Cajun Chicken), but the antics, skits, spirit and enthusiasm was the ticket for me.

Even though the Pepper has really no personality to its presence, I feel that a person like Russell Heim might be able to make an impression.

Whoever is the pepper now is better than the goofball from a few years ago. Pepper could still stand some more RAGIN' HEY GET CRAZY

The new look pepper is definitely better than the old look pepper. The old pepper suit looked odd from far away. the flames looked like dorsal plates. people at a&m asked me if it was a dinosaur. kids love the pepper. i think there is room for the cayenne and a catahoula.

I like it as long as its a real dog and not some styrofoam gizmo. Just one thing about Gumbo LSU is going to accuse UL of stealing their yearbook name.

To hell with LSUAM.....they didnt invent gumbo.

The Auburn Tigers have a "War Eagle". Why can't the Ragin Cajuns have a Bulldog?

[CajunKahouna]

OK, if not a Bulldog then how about a Moccasin, as in water, or a Pelican or something.
