It doesn't matter. USL will always be a worthless, wannabe institution that should have never been established, and whose inhabitants mask their own inferiority by thinking up grandiose new names while they seethe with jealousy over LSU.

To hell with them.

It's like ULM... I don't care what they call it now, it will always be Northeast to me.

No, I still think of them as SLI, they didn't become USL till the 60's.

Wow...This hasn't been discussed before. Dude get over it. The name has changed to ULL. That would be University of Louisiana at Lafayette. How old are you? Is it that difficult to get used to a new name? Things change man. Do you still call Windows Vista "MS-DOS"? This is soooo old. Why does this piss you off so much? Just retarded. Get over it man. LSU is still the flagship university here. wow...

Somebody at work called them USL today, so no you aren't the only one. I gave him a hard time about calling them USL.

You know, I live in Lafayette (graduated LSU in 2001) and I do call it ULL. In fact, I never really thought about the implications until listening to radio coverage of the Washington game when one commentator said to the other, "Dude, I know you didn't just call it University of Louisiana on an LSU broadcast." I mean, I like ULL, and I always pull for them when they're not playing us, but I can't stand their inferiority complex.

Is that the best comparison you can come up with ?

They changed it to a two letter acronym so the alum could remember it...three letters was just too much to ask.
