Kevin (Lafayette, La): Aaron, so glad to see the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns getting some respect… UL has a very solid team and very deep this year. What do you think our ceiling is, now that we've added some major depth to our pitching staff from last year? Also, we hope that you will start referring to us as just Louisiana as that is our preferred athletic branding now instead of Louisiana-Lafayette. Thanks for the great info every week, love your insight!


Aaron Fitt: Hi Kevin, I think the ceiling for that team is Omaha. It's a very complete team, balanced and experienced and dangerous. I was eager to see how Carson Baranik and Greg Milhorn would do in their debuts this weekend, and both guys were superb -- an extremely encouraging sign. As for the branding thing, BA style is Louisiana-Lafayette on first reference (and plenty of marketing people across the country have been beaten down by BA style czar Will Lingo). Our goal is to make things as clear as we can for our readers, regardless of what a school's marketing people want.

That's what they get for trying to play politics.

There is no such school called the University of Louisiana. Deal with it.

Keep hoping Kevin. Eventually it will pay off.

They must really want the word "Lafayette" off their name since it carries such a negative reputation.

I hope one day ULL becomes officially University of Louisiana. This place will be golden.
