The Cypress Mug is the name of the turned, polished mahogany mug that was awarded to the winner of the annual football game between the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (formerly the Southwestern Louisiana Bulldogs) and the Southeastern Louisiana Lions. The two teams have met 39 times on the football field, with the Ragin' Cajuns currently holding a 19–17–3 edge in the all time series. The game has not been played since 1981, following the Ragin' Cajuns move from the NCAA's Division I-AA to Division I-A.
