Spirit Leader: The Fabulous Cajun Chicken

[RedBug58]

The "Chicken" will only work if Russell Heim is manning the suit. It would be cool to have a "Chicken Night". Maybe sponcered by Canes.

NICE, now that's a great idea, maybe not JUST a chicken night maybe like a throwback night where we give tribute to the cajun chicken, bulldog, SLI, USL, all that good stuff

My wife and I's first home that we purchased was from Russell Heim's brother!

I met Russell and his parents through the deal and was able to learn a little about he man within the Chicken!! Very nice man and very nice family!!

BREAKING NEWS

I heard two weeks ago Saturday the Cajun Chicken with the real man behind the mask is to make a not so surprising appearance at a Blackham game. You may get your wish.

Throw in a little Jerry Bisbano running the baseline on Shipley's 1-3-1 defense and it would be old home week.

The best play I ever saw in school basketball history was around 1960 or 61 when we had a guard named Bill McHorris. He could shoot like crazy and was a good overall player. Don't remember who we were playing but the man guarding him was in his face all night and getting away with some stuff that the refs wouldn't call.

McHorris stole the ball from the guy and headed to the other goal on a one on one break with this guy trailing him. Right past the foul line, instead of going on in for an easy layup, McHorris came to a screeching halt, bent over still dribbling and the opponent went over his back, did a flip and landed on his derrierre. McHorris made both free throws as we were in a one in one. Funniest thing I ever saw. Needless to say, the guy backed off about a foot the rest of the night.

Anyone remember the likes of McHorris; Tim Thompson; Larry Simon; Dean Church; Bob Cutrer??? These were some of Shipley's early stars and were a lot of fun to watch as Shipley seemed to get everything possible out of his players.

THe only Cajun Chicken we need is in the Gumbo... Need to ditch the Pepper while we are at it.. I'm sorry, but having a vegatable as our mascot is just lame and asking for insults and jokes... Pick some animal.. a swamp animal like a Gator or Puma, something, that would go with the local culture... or even put a guy in a suit with waiters and a straw hat and name him Coonie the Ragin Cajun.. anything but a damn pepper...

You are right !

The UPN broadcast is dropping the ball by not showing the CAJUN CHICKEN. Wish I could have gone in person.

It's kind of difficult for them to show the Cajun Chicken being that he wasn't there and all.

As CajunRebel noted Cajun Chicken was not there to be filmed. Although I have it on good authority he really wanted to be there.

Here is my version of what happened: The hups (higher ups) didn't want the chicken to overshadow the monetarily invested pepper so they issued an edict that no bright yellow objects or articles of clothing would be allowed on the court.

Seriously though? This (to me) exposes the shear weakness of the pepper mascot in that it couldn't withstand the rigors of a single throwback game at Blackham.

If we call this a throwback game, i believe the Cajun Chicken was never in Blackham. Budman was.
