Could a mascot be more than just a game-day gimmick? Cory St. Ewart certainly thinks so, and his passion for reimagining university spirit is both infectious and thought-provoking. Join us as Cory, a vibrant figure in the Cajun fan community with deep Creole roots, shares his colorful journey from Baton Rouge to Lafayette. He brings to life the tension between tradition and innovation, recounting how his personal and academic experiences, including his current remote semester at Columbia University, have shaped his unique perspective on school pride. Cory’s humor and dedication shine through as he reflects on his role in the exciting mascot campaign.

The episode takes a fascinating turn as we explore the bold transition of the school mascot from Cayenne to Albineaux, the albino alligator, symbolizing diversity and resilience. Cory dives into the controversies and challenges of introducing this fresh identity amidst a backdrop of historical resistance and traditionalism. The story of Albineaux's emergence reveals a fight against administrative pushback and a grassroots effort to redefine school spirit. We navigate the complexities of representation, touching on sensitive language issues and drawing parallels to broader cultural debates, showcasing how thoughtful dialogue can lead to positive change.

As the conversation unfolds, the spotlight turns to the community's spontaneous embrace of Albineaux. Cory shares heartwarming tales of fan-driven creativity, from custom merchandise to online tributes, highlighting the organic growth of this rare mascot phenomenon. Fans have taken Albineaux to heart, crafting a unique culture around this symbol of unity and difference. The episode paints a picture of how small, meaningful symbols can captivate and unite communities, fostering a rich tapestry of pride and enthusiasm.

Join Dom, TJ, & BT as they welcome in new App State Defensive Coordinator DJ Smith. Last week we had a show where he was to be the star but recruiting duties pulled him away from him making his appearance. This time we put four on the line and prevented him from getting away!

DJ talks about his move to Boone, his defensive staff (with a key hiring update), and the recruiting process, among just a few topics.
