Crowd tonite should be interesting, as the announcers last nite were saying it could be another record crowd with SLI in town ( sorry, old habit) along with LSU. Not a troll, but do you Cajuns travel that well or is this just based on alumni living in Houston?



I can’t imagine it will be more crowded than last night

That’s your beef? Holy shite.



For some reason, they get pissy about that. I am a USL graduate and I don't get it. To me, it's a bad look. I wish it was still USL.

I find the everyday pissing and moaning on both sides silly. But I understand it on a game day.

Let me end with Geaux Tigers!

You literally posted a thread to pound your chest about a mid-week baseball win.

I have a simple solution.

They can change their name to the University of Lafayette.

They can use UL with no issue

Lafayette Ragin Cajuns. I like it.

instead of doing what literally every other University of State school did and get the accreditation to be the flagship school of that state system.



Literally?

Flagship universities

Ohio:
Ohio State University

New Jersy:
Rutgers

So most.

Plus there is no way they would be allowed to be named a flagship university in Louisiana, there is only one and will always be only one. As it probably should be.

When you can pay for your sports program without using Louisiana taxpayers funding, you can be Louisiana. Until then you are UL-Lafayette, as is constitutionally required in Louisiana.

Same here. Univ. of South Louisiana would have been perfect.

I loved these New Era hats they had in mid 90's. Although I'm not sure what Devey did to his, kept it in his pocket b/c the structure is destroyed ?



These jerseys are great !







These grey unis are awesome as well (Papo Ramos getting married at home plate )

The designation of flagship university is a bit ubiquitous and I am fairly certain the "official" designation is set by the legislature in Louisiana. I doubt the University of Louisiana system could hand out that designation to any school without igniting a crapstorm even if they were inclined to do so. Louisiana is just too political a state.

Plus LSU is the only school worthy.

They could if they offered enough programs to reach the designation.

That does come down to some government decisions, but regardless, it’s dumb that the Lafayette campus is hell bent on being recognized as the flagship of the system without actually trying to get the designation. And not just from an athletic standpoint either, in the 80’s they tried to sneak “University of Louisiana” on their diplomas and the government laughed at them and made them reissue them all.

To be fair, Miami is a private institution. They aren’t the University of Florida at Miami.

Always does.


I'm was born and raised in Lafayette, graduated from both schools, and never liked the ULL name. I miss the USL acronym and wish they would have gone with the Univ. of South Louisiana. ULM could have gone with North Louisiana University. Do you like ULL, it's just doesn't fit for me ?

Not sure why the hate on UL. I would take them over TU, Little aTm, Gumps, or Ole Piss.
