Can Verne's replacement simply call us LSU?

Sure, it is technically Louisiana State University, but I personally like how we are one of the very few who are known by our acronym, LSU.

I know, it might seem silly, but Verne seemed to go out of his way to say the longer words.

Maybe it was his age.

Uh, Brad Nessler is arguably the greatest college football play-by-pay announcer in the business. Soooo...you might want to learn his name. He has covered LSU on multiple occasions over the years.

And yes, he has always referred to us as LSU.

Fail. Verne did that like one time. And you sound like a ULL-tard bitching about what we should be called.

I liked "Touchdown, Louisiana State University."

And maybe you've never heard of BYU, SMU, TCU, USC, UCLA, UNLV. People use those acronyms pretty often.

I don't think he put any thought into it, he was just trying to fill time. It's a lazy announcer habit, just like some say "national football league" instead of NFL. They're just trying to fill air time while they think of something interesting to say.

Verne sucked but I honestly could give a shite what they call us as long as we win. Most times I mute the tv and listen to LSU radio broadcast.
