Mascot Talk Heating Up!

[MelRock]

The other thing I would do is immediately I would copywrite "DA SWAMP or LE SWAMP". Not The Swamp, but Le or Da Swamp for Cajun Field. Florida can then have "THE SWAMP" and we would take "LE or DA SWAMP"

Le would be for the French reference and Da Swamp (for almost a Cajun French interoperation of the Le Swamp).

Wouldn't we want to use le marais?

This is going to be a fun thread!
Let’s go all out and get three macots. The Louis and the Anna something like with picture at the beginning of the thread. Let’s keep the chicken because it’s lovable. The Louis and the Anna can do the rooster dance around the chicken.
I’m laughing so hard I’m crying.

The problem with 2 animals, specifically dogs (bulldog and/or Catahoula, Louis and Anna) is that although they can be bought at the same time, you are never sure if they are going to die close together. So you if Louis lives to be 12 and Anna dies at 6, then would have to replace the other one with a 6 year old rather than a small dog. Financially it is not the best option because theoretically you would want them to live as long as possible and be close to the same age the entire time they are together (full grownish). You would not want to purchase an older dog to match the older one you have if it is not going live out its full life with you.

I was in SGA back in the late 80's and early 90's and we discussed this exact thought. I wanted 2 bulldogs and was quickly informed why that would not work. Now the real option would be 2 Alligators because we have the availability to use Alligators here on campus or through the Wildlife preserves.

Let’s not get bogged down in minutia, or nothing will happen again . . .

THIS!

I always like the chicken.
Then we can break out the rooster dance

No you feed the chicken to gators right behind the visitors bench just before kick off. Thats way better than the lame tiger roar or bulldog bark a lot of places use

I had suggested Ragin' and Cajun

I don’t care Cajun Chicken or Gator. Personally I like the chicken, but just choose one and be done

Russel made the Cajun Chicken what it was! No one else putting on that costume would do it justice. Go with the gator or something else and let the Cajun Chicken RIP!

As long as they don't confuse AL Boudreaux with AL Bundy, we will be just fine.

Actually love the AL Boudreaux mascot idea.

[Turbine]

The long snout is a key component of a good mascot.

Just turning the head indicates activity from yards away.

But since mascots are part reality part fanimation there is no reason they can't be Vermilion Red.

He cleans up for the kids too.

Tail not required.

Can't we just get two monkeys from the farm in New Iberia?
