ULL is not even the oldest school in the University of Louisiana System. Northwestern and La Tech were founded before it. The other UL System schools did now spawn off from ULL. ULL is not the flagship of the UL System. This is much different that Cal, or Texas or Tennessee. ULL trying to act like they are similar to those schools and call themselves UL is completely ridiculous.

In the UC system or the UT system, those "flagship" schools were the original school in the system. Cal was the first school founded in the UC system. The other school were subsidiary schools over time that branched of of Cal. Same with Texas. Texas is known simply as "University of Texas" b/c thats what it originally was before smaller schools spawned from it. Now its technically the "University of Texas-Austin" but still known by original name. ULL doesn't have that history of being UL, nor is it the flagship of the system like the other major universities they try to liken their name to.


A university's flagship status or lack thereof has little revelance in one's athletic branding. The only thing that is ridiculous is people's infatuation in what a university chooses to brand themselves in athletics.

I was mocking your idiot fans who've claimed that's part of the name, moron.


So I am the moron for actually knowing LSU's legal name? I guess the irony in that escapes you...

Yes! I was worried I wouldn't be able to catch this game since it was on the road (and not on geauxzone)

No. You're a moron for not understanding the point of my original post.

I honestly can't wait until the NCAA puts ULL back at the Baton Rouge Regional, (or when ULL is good enough to make the tourney again ) because that 2002 regional was by far my favorite regionals in recent memory! Mainly Matt Heath's bat "accidently" flew into the Cajun dugout...Epic!

Agreed, that was some good stuff. Wasn't that also the Regional where Matt pointed to their dugout after a HR, and then they tried to bean him his next at bat?

I didn't realize that Matt is or was an assistant coach at Aubie (Germans nazis begone):

That regional was one my favorite memories for baseball as well. Here is a story from Jay Walker about the first game between the Tigers and Cajuns in that regional. Story

Too bad you don't remember it right

It was Aaron Jill's bat that ended up in dugout, that's why he was suspended for game 2

And not one cajun fan on their crappy board said anything when one if their locals made the comment about "31 never" instead of the "31 forever " that LSU baseball fans love
