Your pick for School "Spirit Leader"

[thurifer]

The Catahoula hound is unique to Louisiana. A capable PR man (Sports Information Director) ought to be able to get that point across to the average guy. Besides, people like dogs, and it's likely that a Catahoula hound would get a great deal more camera time on the sidelines than some idiot dressed up like an alligator or a mobile pepper.

Not Gator. "BULL Gator"

Hey Fun I like the Pelican, I really do.

Please though, sell me on why we would run from a mascot only similar to one used many schools and 3 states away, but would then do the exact opposite and adopt another mascot already used two schools away within state borders.

Some might call us racist with a white gator. What's wrong with a regular Bull Gator? They look menacing I dare anyone to go swiming at the Lake.

Being from Texas (and full blooded Cajun), and yet still an UL alum...I have to say that these uniforms, logo, and helments are all the best ones I have seen for the Cajuns. I think they are sharp looking. I have seen pictures of all the others, and frankly I'm not sure what some of you see as far as the Acadiana flag...the script Cajuns...and especially the Fluer de Leis (forgive me if I mispelled I understand that it is part of the culture in Lafayette area, but that doesn't necessarily coincide with good uni's. Same thing goes for the mascot. The Pelican?!?! Ummmm...no thanks. I happen to like Cayenne the concept. But I think a new outfit is needed. Just looks too angry. But anyway, just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions

I agree with Texitan.....everything is just fine. Cayenne could stand a little color rehab, but I am no designer. Folks want to change so many things that i don/t know if we will ever have any sort of standing tradition. Lets all take a deep breath, thank our lucky stars that we can voice our opinions, and relax. Tomorrow and the following days the sun will come up in the East and set in the West. If it doesn't we won't have to worry about logos, uniforms, mascots, etc.

I love the idea of a bullgator mascot. Anything besides the pepper, did anyone read the Times article on cooking the pepper mascot?

I'd LOVE to have the Chicken back, but NOBODY can play the Chicken the way Russell Heim did, and there's no way we'll get him to do it again now.

Fellow Ragin' Cajuns fans,

I grew up going to football and basketball games, and the Chicken was definitely my favorite. But, as the current Cayenne, I definitely think we should move on from the Chicken. Yes he was good, but a big chicken doesn't really convey the image we wanna convey. I'm all for keeping Cayenne, cuz y'all really have no idea how noticeable he is, and how much people outside of UL actually like him. Or, I also really like the idea of a Catahoula hound, or even a White Bull Gator. Problem with the White Bull Gator (or any Gator for that matter, is trying to walk him onto a football field or basketball court. Oh, and one more thing.....
GO CAJUNS!!!!!
