Looks like the chilli pepper costume from '99 - 'who cares.

Checks notes: they look nothing alike.
Back then Why did they go with cayenne instead of tabasco and possible funding from tabasco company, literally a million dollar Question (if not more)

I’m sure you think it’s easy to get this company to sponsor because they are local but you’re wrong. Tabasco refuses to sponsor UL athletics because they feel it’s not needed for them to sell their product. They will sponsor a team in Alaska before ever giving UL a dime. Now if you’re any other local organization, their Red Cares program will not hesitate to donate up to $500. They just refuse to help the Cajuns.

Thanks for the insight. No, i did not think it would have been eaay, but it does seem a shame.... it is a good point it is not needed for them, but cant help but wonder if more to the story.
Seems some of their execs would be alum? Do they help on academic side at least?

Tabasco money goes to BR remember the Tabasco collection is housed and currently probably being ruined in LSU A&M BR library where the roof is probably caving in on it this very minute

The initial response was measured and made sense. I thought initially...that is a good take for them and good for them to stay objective.
But ooops, upon further review: doesnt seem like they needed this either, to grow their brand/ sell their product.

How many years have I been saying "Hospitality" should be leading the charge on community food experience.

I don't remember the last time but not so long ago Tabasco use to have a tent above the levee at Cajun Field.

The stance of 'if we can't have all of it we want none of it' is shortsighted IMO

Is that our stance or theirs?

Tabasco had a long history of supporting UL.

They landscaped the campus.

not Tabasco but I can remember Authement accepting a million dollar donation at mid field and not cracking a smile.

"Blasé thanks, yanks away" ... support that is...
