Sorry for the thread drift, but I recently learned that ULL and Stanford have something in common: both schools lack an official mascot. Ragin' Cajuns is the school's "spiritual" nickname in a fashion not unsimilar to Stanford's Cardinal. Apparently, ULL has had a bulldog, Cajun man, a chicken and a pepper as mascots, and the current push is for an albino alligator mascot named Albineaux "Al" Boudreaux. But, as I've already mentioned, there is no official ULL mascot at the moment:

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
