Help name the newest Ragin’ Cajun!
Dear University community,
Saturday was special. During halftime of our football game against South Alabama, we introduced the newest member of the University family: a Catahoula Leopard Dog who will serve as our live mascot. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns capped off the celebration with a win that secured bowl eligibility for the ninth consecutive year. What a memorable night at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium!
Our fan’s excitement was a wonderful reminder of what brings us together as Ragin’ Cajuns: our shared pride, traditions and love for this University.
As Louisiana’s official state dog, the Catahoula reflects our heritage and will become part of the traditions that unite generations of Ragin’ Cajuns.
Now, I want you to help welcome this special guy home by choosing his name. Visit louisiana.edu/mascot to rank five finalists, watch his introduction video and see his official portraits. Voting is open through Tuesday, Nov. 17, and we’ll announce the winning name at our Nov. 21 home football game against Coastal Carolina.
Our puppy has some growing and training ahead of him before he officially joins us. But if Saturday’s reaction is any indication, he’s already winning over our fans.
I can’t wait for you to meet him. Until then, help us choose a name worthy of our newest Ragin’ Cajun!
Geaux Cajuns!
