  • Section VI: Basketball History
    WWW.RAGINCAJUNS.COM UL BASKETBALL HISTORY The Story Behind the Nickname Referred to as the Ragin’ Cajuns, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette has perhaps the most unique and fitting nickname in all of collegiate athletics. In 1921, the University adopted the nickname and mascot Bulldogs. Beginning in 1963, Louisiana-Lafayette football teams were dubbed the “Raging Cajuns” by then-Sports Information Director Bob Henderson and head football coach Russ Faulkinberry. In addition, the team switched from gold helmets to white helmets with an Acadian flag. At the time, more than 90 percent of Faulkinberry’s teams were composed of Louisiana high school players, many with French-speaking Acadian backgrounds. The nickname stuck, and in 1967 the second ‘g’ was dropped to make Ragin’. In the early 70s other sports teams began to adopt the Ragin’ Cajuns nickname. The University’s full switch to Ragin’ Cajuns was part of “Operation Turnaround” during the 1974-75 school year. In fact, the Ragin’ Cajuns were voted as the best collegiate team nickname by Sporting News in 1998 and by an ESPN SportsNation survey in 2006. University History 1898: Louisiana lawmakers approved the creation of an “Industrial Institute and academy” in the 13th Senatorial District. 1900: Dr. Edwin L. Stephens was named the first president of SLII, the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute, which was to be located on the outskirts of Lafayette on 25 acres of donated land. SLII opened its doors on Sept. 18, 1901, with 100 students and eight faculty members. 1903: Eighteen students were the first to graduate from SLII.

I came prepared for our discussion with several issues for her consideration. She had a topic she wanted to discuss with me. As it turned out, we both wanted to talk about celebrating the university’s fiftieth anniversary with a commemorative book. As our conversation unfolded, she commissioned me to write a celebratory coffee table-style history.

    Ragin’ Cajuns Men’s Basketball 2009-10 The Story Behind the Nickname Referred to as the Ragin’ Cajuns, the University of Louisiana has perhaps the most unique and fitting nickname in all of collegiate athletics. In 1921, the University adopted the nickname and mascot Bulldogs. Beginning in 1963, Louisiana-Lafayette football teams were dubbed the “Raging Cajuns” by then-Sports Information Director Bob Henderson and head football coach Russ Faulkinberry. In addition, the team switched from gold helmets to white helmets with an Acadian flag. At the time, more than 90 percent of Faulkinberry’s teams were composed of Louisiana high school players, many with French-speaking Acadian backgrounds. The “Raging Cajuns” nickname stuck, and in 1967 the second ‘g’ was dropped to form the word Ragin’. In the early 1970’s other sports teams began to adopt the Ragin’ Cajuns nickname. The University made a full switch to Ragin’ Cajuns during the 1974-75 school year as part of “Operation Turnaround”. basketball history In fact, the Ragin’ Cajuns were voted as the best collegiate team nickname by Sporting News in 1998 and by an ESPN SportsNation survey in 2006. University History 1898: Louisiana lawmakers approved the creation of an “Industrial Institute and academy” in the 13th Senatorial District. 1900: Dr. Edwin L. Stephens was named the first president of SLII, the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute, which was to be located on the outskirts of Lafayette on 25 acres of donated land. SLII opened its doors ragin’ cajuns on Sept. 18, 1901, with 100 students and eight faculty members. 1903: Eighteen students were the first to graduate from SLII.
