It became clear over the years that most of the vitriol from then USL fans was about disparity in funding, LSU's influence at the legislature not letting them change their name, and just plain envy.
agree with this wholeheartedly. of course, ULL spends some of their state funding on athletics whereas LSU does not. THE BIG PROBLEM is that La simple doesn't spend enough on higher education so the ULL fans should turn their vitriol to the state legislature. also, the current law is set up that budget cuts can only occur in a few areas, education being one of them. there are way too many sacred cows in the La budget. Louisiana's problem is a spending problem, not an income problem.

imo, there are two types of ULL fans...
-the great ones that are above the fray
-the absolute jackasses that loathe LSU and
blame LSU for all of ULL's shortcomings.
there is no escaping group two BUT we should not assume that all ULL fans are in that group.

Amen, brotha
If there is really any "anger or resentment" I have, it's this. LSU was a huge beneficiary of the state legislature since it's the flagship school. But the smaller schools suffered at the hands of that for years. But I blame that on the state legislature. Now, things are a little more fair with the schools being in separate systems. But that old style of Louisiana politics put us in the mess we are in today with all of the protected departments and budget cuts. And all schools, including LSU, are suffering from it.

I earned a degree from USL and a post-grad degree from ULL. I was never a die hard Cajun athletics fan as a student. I played on the Cajun club inline hockey team and traveled with them to Texas and attended basketball, football, and baseball games. However, I always wore P&G to class and took a lot of shite for it, but I still hold no ill will. I pull for the cajuns and the tigers, but deep down inside I am, and always will be an LSU Fighting Tiger. Just born to it. Dad and brother,although we lived in Louisiana and my dad played football at Auburn for Shug Jordan, somehow are Bammers, but my mom and sister earned degrees from LSU. Most of my friends and my wife's family are LSU grads though. I dont understand the animosity LSU or ULL hold for each other. I just dont get it. Fans on here get super pissed at the name thing and act all superior to ULL. If I ever return to school it will be at LSU, but I wont ever hate ULL even if they call themselves Louisiana. Both are good schools filled with good people.

Well said.
My problem with the group of ULL fans that blame LSU for their shortcomings/lack of funding...McNeese has beaten ULL/USL 12 out of the last 16 times they've played in Football (since 1970), with a lot less funding. At some point you need to stop playing the blame game and admit that the problem might be internal. The fact that these people are Bama fans, because of their hate for LSU, is disgusting to me.
For the record, I pull for ULL against any school other than LSU and McNeese.

Pretty much on the money Grandpa...just like Boudreaux and Thibodeaux peeing off the bridge, bou says that water is cold, thib...thib says, and it deep, too boudreaux...
Sorry Cajun fans, your dick will never be as big as da Tiger's...
Although, I always pull for ULL when you are playing anyone else but LSU, I never pull for your rivals like a lot of Cajun fans do for LSU'S rivals...
