Just curious why chose Albino Gators over the kind of gators we see all the time? Is an albino gator an actual thing? I have never seen one in the wild.

What? Who doesn't like to pet dogs? The kids would LOVE him.
Our Cajun ancestors and Louisiana forefathers used the Catahoula to take down large game in the Swamps of Louisiana. The dog is a mixture of red wolves and dogs from Spain and France. It is the only dog native to Louisiana. It would allow us to tell our story as a state and as a people. We are Cajun. We ARE Louisiana.UL has a swamp on campus. UL called its field the Swamp, first. UL would have the nation's only Albino Gator. If anything, it allows us to tell our story and how WE were ripped off.
For marketing: less explaining you have to do the better. I'm the result of a marriage between prairie cajuns and river parish cajuns and I didn't know what a catahoula was until I started posting here.
90% of the national audience that sees a dog on our sideline will be like "huh?"
Whereas you see a gator on the sideline of a Ragin Cajuns game and people would just think "oh, that makes sense."
Dude that's one cool report. For the first time I actually like the Catahoula idea. As some know, I'm all about SLII, SLI, USL, LA history. I'm seeing a big time push to make this happen. It's time. There is another idea which I'm yet to see be proposed- the Crawfish. We're talking a one of kind creature rep'n the One and Only Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana. We all know how popular even saying boiling crawfish is and then spreading them down a table with your family, friends, neighbors, dogs, even damn cats. It's a very powerful image to have a direct correlation with Crawfish and Cajuns Football, etc.
I'm not starting WWIII here. This is a calm and collected discussion amongst Acadians. I didn't go to an Ivy League school, I went to UL, and initiated the first classroom wide effort on this back in 2006 in MKTG 375. The prof said it was the first time ever that the entire class became one (1) group in t___ ___ignment. We were put into groups of 4. My group was the last to make its study proposal. Of course there was proposals for a loop, the horse farm or some damn thing with the Coulee System. I said we're re-branding Louisiana and getting rid of this damn flaming dildeaux. End result was, three divisions were formed and each had a target group for survey. The helmet decal and the FDL were winners by far - No comparison.
Spirit leader/Mascot is next. Let's keep this objective open to all and we'll get the next Rep for UL.
Let's Geaux.
We need to make some " We want a mascot* " yard signs and put them in front of Martin Hall.
*(fine print): just not Cayenne.
