Ok? LSU's formal name is LSUAM@BR yet they go by LSU




Wrong.

7. In written and verbal communications, LSU should always be referred to as Louisiana State University or LSU.
8. LSU should never be referred to as Louisiana State, LSU-Baton Rouge, L.S.U., or other aliases different from
the official names listed above.

You still haven't answered my question. Why does LSU get to abbreviate their name


see above.

All Flagships of their respective University System. They are the standard and any other branches are then differentiated with the location.

Not to mention I frequently hear UW @ Madison, UNC @ Chapel Hill, and UC @ Berkley quite frequently and no one gets upset. UT @ Austin isn't as frequent, but I've heard it from time to time and no jimmies were rustled.

I don't use UL when referring to them, I use either Louisiana or Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns. The school hasn't made a push to rename themselves, they've pushed for the re-branding of the athletic name

Yeah it's great. I'll try to get Paul to sign it at a public signing and just wait till NS retires and doesn't care as much anymore.

There are two schools called The University of Louisiana.

Deal with it.

We have great players going to other states to play ball becauase we insist on belittling these schools. They're perfectly good colleges, they're division 1-A, let it go man.

all im trying to say is that it shouldnt matter to people what fans refer to their schools as..idgaf if you say lsu. It doesnt bother me. So people shouldn't care if we refer to our school as UL
