The institution up I-10 took it for themselves and is on TV much more than us hence others associate it with them.... Geaux and Tigers just don't fit as well as Geaux and Cajuns... ya think?????????

Don't know when UF first used "the swamp" but i have a media guide with Brian Mitchell in THE SWAMP. LSU never did anything original. It was GO TO HELL OLE MISS GO TO HELL, NOT GEAUX TO HELL OLE MISS GEAUX TO HELL.

First of all, I find it tacky, but I'm just curious because I'm having an argument with someone and they say LSU started it, but I seem to remember seeing Geaux Cajuns much longer than LSU.

Just wondering, because LSU sure loves to add -eaux to everything that ends in the long "o" sound, which is retarted since Baton Rouge isn't Cajun and neither is a large majority of the student body.

Careful now, you don't want to get the six-named delphi poseur to rear his head now. We'll get another annoying thread about how much we make up stuff!

But, we all know the truth about Geaux

You said it all. The whole thing is retarted becuase Baton Rouge and LSU are about as cajun as clam chowder.

The atchafalaya river has always created a virtually impassable wall between Acadiana and Baton Rouge, that is until I-10 came along. I guarantee you that no one in Baton Rouge was eating gumbo and crawfish 50 years ago. And I guarantee you that no one would have understood what geaux meant. And I guarantee you that when we call then coullions they still don't know what it means.

If I remember correctly, I went into the service in 1969 -1973 and while I was in the word " Geaux" was being passed around as part of our lingo, It also may have come right after I came back in the fall of '73 , but "GEAUX IS OURS.

Also another one LUSAMBR uses is Hot Boudin cheer, David Toms, LSUAMBR golfer uses it to express his pride for the tigers. I have heard him say it on national TV.

Let's face it, when cajuns were popular, no one cared, but soon as the people discovered the cajun heritage, everyone in Louisiana wanted to be Cajun. That includes Shreveport Louisiana. This year when or if you watch the Indenpendence Bowl, listen how the announcers make Shreveport sound like they are in Cajun Territory.

I know for I fact, cause I am a converted Redneck from North Louzeana, who came to UL back in 1996 and have never regretted it. I have live hear over 2/3 of my life and will die hear. Everytime I go back to N. La., I hear and see businesses trying to jump on the Cajun Heritage Band Wagon. Shreveport even has its own "MUD BUG FESTIVAL". That's fine but don't claim to be a Cajun. I don't, even though I am proud to be a UL Ragin Cajun.

The hypocrisy of those people, D Toms is a redneck from Shreveport. Ain't no cajun.

Call the Alumni Center, they may have the answer to your question

If there are any lawyers out there, can ULL copyright or Trademark "GEAUX" so that no other school can use it?

Too late for that.

It should be noted that the current font for lsu athletics is also called "geaux".
