UL said no, I'm just the messenger

I think this really distills what I've been saying. It's an inflexibility on the part of this campaign that really gets me. A ton of folks do support it, obviously. But again, several major RCAF donors, alums, some non-communications university officials (on their personal pages), expressed hesitance with both the name and overall concept of Albineaux.

For some reason, this HAS to be Albineaux or bust for several folks in this thread. Not that there should be a mascot in general, but it HAS to be an alligator with a skin condition and named after the skin condition even though people aren't rocking with the name. I truly don't get it.

I was wrong it only felt like dozens.

I could only find a half dozen on Spirit leaders and mascots.

Wow! A blast from the past. Gerald just got things done. He saw what needed to be done and got word out without social media.

I still have a framed picture of Rafael Septien's field goal in 1971 that came out of the UL locker room from one of the organized "clean-up". Picture was going in the trash.

Good for you!!! I’ve gotten rid of several “USL” items that could be considered historical to some fans that were used as auction items. Nice grab on your part!

My favorite USL item. My wife found it at an antique shop.

Good lord! Turbine, a hat tip to you sir, for this! LoL!!!! So, basically 2 people are bleeding through their pants because they're that upset about this issue. Oh, and "mah sources". This s___ is wild. This is the easiest fix in the books. You keep the white bull gator but you call him Louie and you make a red female gator called Anna. If there's still someone who gets upset over actual school colors, there's no hope. 90 and JMV, yall really need to relax. This was weird.
The most ironic thing in this whole s___show is that they're upset about a white alligator, but paraded a flaming dildo around in full view of God and children.
Wild, I tell ya.....wild.

Since most of you folks are jealous and would give your left arm to get any kind of inside information on the Cajuns regardless of the sports I will give you some on the whole Albineaux concept. Many years ago an outside marketing firm was hired to evaluate the Cajuns trademarks, logos, images, branding, etc. It was determined that the RAGIN CAJUN brand and image was unique to the Cajun culture and no mascot or spirit leader was needed due to a person, animal, or anything else not being able to create a RAGIN CAJUN. RAGIN CAJUNS is a culture, not an image. A mascot or spirit leader would have to align with not only athletics but also academics. The school has too many other projects that have a higher priority status. With that being said the school doesn't think a mascot or spirit leader will be a big needle mover. Once again don't shoot the messages who just gave you guys facts. And for the record I never said I was against a mascot or spirit leader. I just told you guys the name and color was always a no go. Have a great night guys.
