You mean like the banana slugs or the dirt bags?

Tigers was a nickname bestowed upon the warriors that Louisiana developed. Why go searching for a better nickname/mascot when you have an awesome one?

Also before the university of diversity and poop swastikas was let in we were the only true Tigers in the SEC. Auburn would rather be called War Eagle or the Plainsmen and who cares about everyone else.

Bengals have nothing to do with Louisiana though. I never saw a tiger wild in the swamp.

Ragin Cajuns would be awesome and better than a generic Tiger. I know people don't want to hear that but there's something cool about having a unique mascot, especially one related to your region or history.

Neither do tigers? or for other teams: Bulldogs, Thunder, Lakers, Titans, Eagles, Falcons, Cardinal(s). I could go on for days.

Bayou Bengals is just cool. Probably my favorite nickname
