re: ULL Head Coach Hudspeth calling out LSU?

It seems to me that Hudspeth was just congratulating the players and then he stood up for his university.
I think that the Tiger fans would enjoy this game, especially if it were to happen in the next two years while Broadway is at QB. Few quarterbacks are as fun to watch.
As almost everyone knows, using stats from even 2009 are not that relevant now. Ragin' Cajun football has had a major upgrade since 2011. Also, every allotted seat will be sold and then some. 45,000 went to the New Orleans Bowl and just as many would enjoy seeing this.

What I don't understand is why the University of Louisana AT LAFAYETTE and their fans cannot and will not accept that this is their name. It is not "University of Louisiana" or UL.
It probably stems from two things, one revolving around the original move to use the name University of Louisiana (a move I never liked, I would prefer to still be called USL) which was approved by the relevant boards but subsequently body slammed unexpectedly by the legislature (this is also, wrongly I believe, a source of some of the hatred toward LSU), The second is probably due to the universities own published guidelines regarding the proper names to use when refering to the university and specifically stated that ULL was not a proper reference to the university.
I think somebody had the idea that ULL would end being called "Louisiana" like UC Berkley is called Cal and UT Austin is called Texas.
Maybe we should just shoot for La. I wish we were still USL.
Regardless of all that commotion, I would really like the fanbases to approach the games like "OK lets leave it all on the field and when it's over, shake hands and pull for the other team from then on". I know I'm dreaming.
ETA: for what it's worth, the guy who spearheaded the move to rename the school and who insisted that ULL not be used what the University President at the time, Dr. Ray Authement, who I believe is an LSU Alum.

The fact that UL went through all of the proper steps to change the name and the insane politcal attack that came after, with LSU backers in the government leading it, is almost never talked about. This is, at least for me, the biggest thing. Then people brag and refer to these overtly biased, Jim Crow style laws that were made to protect one politically privileged university and try to use these to make their point. This is totally disgusting.
You hear about "penis envy" and "wanting to be like them", but these are people from the outside looking in at UL supporters.
Speaking for myself, if they kick our arse, I can handle that and we should just get better to improve our athletic situation, which we are doing. I could not despise a school just for kicking our arse, even regularly, but when they have politicians in their back pocket and use government to attack you, well then I can do nothing but despise people who support that.
As for "wanting to be like them", Ragin' Cajuns do not want to be like the arrogant, spoiled brat (by daddy Louisiana government) and perpetually angry people who even bitch and want to fire the coach when they win fans.
Mdomingue, until what was done in 1984 is reversed, I for one will never pull for them to win at anything. Wipe the Jim Crow style university laws from the books and then we can talk.
