I cannot understand why so many LSU fans get so irate about what ULL calls itself. Why is it so important they not call themselves Louisiana? Why does it matter?
Let
it
go.

Can we change the name of this thread to ULL/USL/UL naming convention debate?

Not one of the 100+ posts has a damn thing to do with the Rice and Houston game last night

What time did they finish local time?

THIS!! I have zero ties to the school, but whatever helps them become better in any way is fine. Life is about improving. Do your thing UL, represent the state well.

I know for a fact UGA did not act like this when Georgia College became Georia State University.

I think it's more that ULL fans get mad when we don't say the name correctly. To me, I don't give a damn what they want to be called, but I have friends from ULL that get their panties in a knot when I say ULL. And when they do it is beyond hilarious to see them react the way they do. Consequently, I continue to give them hell about the name for my pure entertainment.

What's impressive is that they get mad when you use the actual name of the university. It's like they live in an alternate reality.

They think ULM is beneath them.

No one outside of Lafayette or Monroe give a rat's arse about either school.

Agree. We can start an official ULL vs. LSU A&M smack talk thread.

My son, who went to ULL for a year before transferring to LSU, will NOT say UL ... it IS ULL and he sticks to that. lol He's strong willed.

I've always been cool with ULL calling themselves "Louisiana." Texas is only one of several UT's--Austin, Dallas, Arlington, San Antonio, Tyler, etc. I know there's no comparison as far as student population and level of athletic competition but if ULL wants to be THE university of Louisiana, fine by me. The nerd in me thinks it'd be cool if they kept getting bigger and eventually joined the big 12, stadium expansion, etc. Yeah-recruiting yada yada but as a Louisiana native that wasn't alive during Tulane's "glory days" I'd love to see LSU/UL as more of an event.

True. So, since they are playing the Cajuns, let's say they are French toast made with French bread. That's called lost bread.

Rice is lost bread.
