It's old, I know, and I hope this isn't a repost but I found this online today. Somebody needs to be taken down a notch. Also, he needs to be reminded of what other school in Louisiana conveniently leaves part of their name off of everything.

There was no contest to find a mascot.

Then AD, Nelson Schexnayder was in love with a highly successful 1983 season ticket campaign for UL football that turned a football into a pepper. A total disconnect in logic that it would or could tranfer into a good mascot.

Ken Ardoin who at the time was on the UL Athletic Advisory Committee, tried to tell Nelson (through fax) that the concept looked like the Jolly Green Giant and subtly sent the message of distain by asking "is this part of our penance on earth?" Predicting it would cause UL (us) pain.

How true.

Ken Ardoin still owes me donuts and orange juice...

Although I do share his "enthusiasm" for the pepper mascot.

Brilliant. I'm glad Ken Ardoin's on our side.

And that's an old article written as a run up to our last game with them. Nothing to worry about.

Why does this hypocrite not insist on calling state lsu a&m to be consistant. I think mike a tiger is mike scarbrough who attended UL and never graduated from any school so he has a lot of animosity toward our (his)university. So it makes him feel better about himself to get on his state web site and put us down. Although he grew up in baton rouge he is still proud to call Lafayette, which is what it is today because of UL , home.

Mike is the definition of loser. He should have stuck to selling wheelchairs. Is he still chasing high school juniors around??

Crap on LSUseless. I'm a member of the LaTech nation, but by God, my second favorite team every weekend is whoever is playing against the Purple Pukes. Props to the folks in Acadiana or wherever that support the Cajuns over the morons in Baton Rouge. Who cares what they think and write in their idiotic blog anyway?

Crap on La Tech. Your athletics is best known for women's basketball. It's only a matter of time before UL blows by Tech and makes it a distant third in La higher ed.

First off, sports are not higher education, so dream on. I say something that is anti-LSU and more in favor of this thread and you are a douchebag. Do you wonder at all why 99% of Tech fans don't like the Cajuns?
