I like both of them. I think the idea of a live mascot would be cool. I also think an alligator would be cool because it is something that is featured in the heart of our campus. Both of these would be fine with me. \
I hope there is serious consideration to make a change. Farmer has given us hope that a change is coming in his last interview with our fellow Ragin' Pager. Just how long till this change occurs is another question. Maybe someone should start a petition to have the current mascot removed like they did the David Walker petition. Also include in the petition that Cayenne is to be replaced with either the Bullgator, a Catahoula Hound, Cajunman, or the Chicken. All of the above would be acceptable to me.
Also, I not a fan of the name Fideaux at all but someone said the name Zydeco and I have to say I love that name. It has my vote!
