Make the Cajun Chicken the Official Mascot!

[cajun4life]

Yep. We get to have opinions here. Here's mine

No. No. A thousand times no about making the chicken the official mascot.

The man inside the suit is eligible for Medicare. And, it's the man inside the suit that makes things happen, not the suit itself. If you want the man inside the suit to die before his time, by all means have at it.

Yes, we need a mascot. And, no, I don't have the answer as to what is best.

But it doesn't need to be a chicken.

Whatever the mascot winds up being, it will be the man (or woman) inside the suit that will make it thrive or fail.

Oh, and we do NOT need a live mascot.

The Chicken should be the mascot. A student should get a full scholarship for the mascot.

He/she should apprentice under the current guy. It’s a tradition and one we should foster.

I agree with most of this. But it's time to move past a chicken.

Jay, what you are espousing is chicken shiete . . . It’s just the chicken we want . . .

Yes I thought the idea with the balloons spying versus using the satellite dish from the shower curtain was great!
New ideas, new gimmicks really keeping up with the times.
I think he would be great if he came out with a couple of small children in duplicate costumes. put them in a honey I blew up the kids machine and out comes 2 adult college students dressed as the sons or grandsons of the fabulous cajun chicken.
From there you have a team of chickens and Russel can then mentor them for future generations.

If we need a Human Mascot, it can only be the FCC, the Pepper, or Cajun Man.

Nothing else makes sense for us.

. . . a paid retirement gig for Russell if he wants it . . . Unbelievable student experience for those that want it . . . I bet you would have students fighting to be the chicken . . .

I prefer to call him a spirit leader or entertainer versus calling him a mascot.

Actually, for hot weather, it takes two persons and uniforms to make a mascot happen. At least at programs that are serious about a mascot.

And if you noticed, it involves the band/cheerleaders/dancers giving up some of their time.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Can any spirit leader, or mascot not take time away from the band and cheerleaders, who by the way no longer see themselves as support but separate unique athletes.

Whichever mascot we decide on, Russell being offered to train him/her would be nice. I’d even pass the torch for some of his skits.
