Chile Pepper Fun Fact - The Ragin' Cajuns 

Mascot for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette named Cayenne.

Cayenne was created using an "out of the box" method. Instead of being a physical representation of Ragin' Cajuns, like most mascots are, Cayenne was the embodiment of the Ragin' Cajun spirit of Acadiana.

Cayenne was introduced in 2000, and changes clothes depending on what sporting event he's at, e.g., he wears a Ragin' Cajun football uniform at the football games, and a Louisiana basketball jersey for the basketball games.

Unfortunately, Cayenne hasn't made an appearance since 2017, their loss for sure!
