After not being able to keep the ESPN3 crew that worked last Saturday’s game against Nicholls State from calling the Cajuns a name they do not prefer, UL sports-information director Brian McCann has gone on the offensive.

His pregame notes distributed to media members Monday referred to ESPN3.com – which is also carrying Saturday’s game at Akron – as ES-Bristol3.com.

“If you listen to a replay of the game (Saturday),” McCann said, “they were Lafayette-ing us the entire time.

“We’ve asked ESPN on multiple occasions to refer to us as ‘Louisiana,’ he added, “and they insist on some hybrid.”

You are the University of Louisiana at Lafeyette. Get it through your fricking head. You are not the University of Louisiana..

I don't get you peoples obsession with trying to get people to call you something you are not. It's fricking pathetic.

I don't get it. ULL's own website refer to themselves as ULL.



the file name in the website template is even "ull-logo.png"

Well, think about it:

If your proper name was Huge Dick Gobbler, wouldn't you be upset if people used your full name instead of your preferred ("Dick").

Just let them be the Dicks they are.

I'm surprised by this story... mostly because I can't understand why ESPN would waste a crew on a UL football game

ULL should stick with USL. University of south or southern louisiana. The fact that ULM could fall under the same loophole and call themselves UL is what makes this ridiculous. So in the meantime, people are more familiar now with ULM football because they've embraced their name instead of acting like fools... And they've actually beaten teams from bcs conferences.
