I fully support all schools trying to elevate their stature.
However, the best way to do that is through accomplishment, not by changing your name and pretending to be THE University of Louisiana. If you do, the snickering you hear from others will be well deserved...

Exactly.
Not to mention the fact that when the UL System was created (1970s), every school in it existed and was not a branch or remote campus of any of the others, like LSU is.
I don't care if ULL wants to be the best or second best university in the state. But quit trying to make yourself the flagship of a university system that has no flagship, and never will.

When UL had the best basketball program in the deep South in the 60s and early 70s LSU's political machine found a way to get the program sentenced to death. (read: Slam Dunked)
When UL had the nation's best computer science program in the 80's, it was raided by LSU.
When USL legally changed its name in '84, LSU's political machine again threw it's power around to get the decision reversed.
This is only what I know of off the top of my head. UL has every right to hate LSU.
