Cayenne – University of Louisiana
A cayenne pepper, you don’t say? The mascot for the University of Louisiana took a more out of the box approach. They didn’t want just a physical representation of Ragin’ Cajuns (school’s nickname), like most mascots tend to be, Cayenne is instead the embodiment of the Ragin’ Cajun spirit of Acadiana. Interesting to say the least.

Purdue Pete – Purdue
For quite a few years, Purdue Pete was a head on an un-costumed body so Purdue upgraded their mascot, giving him foam rubber arms and a torso. Although to many Purdue Pete looks like a stiff mascot with little emotion, no one can tel if he’s smiling or frowning, it’s something of a mystery.
