They no longer want to be Acadiana, but now want to claim basically half the state.

First we let em believe their directional school is suddenly. THE University of Louisiana and now this?
Sure are some presumptuous frickers.

So, let me get this straight. The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, which was supposed to be tasked with promoting Lafayette as opposed to Crowley, New Iberia, etc. (who have their own Chambers of Commerce), became "One Acadiana" to promote the greater area and now they are pushing "South Louisiana." Sounds like they have strayed from their original purpose. Is it time to re-form a Chamber of Commerce for Lafayette to promote Lafayette proper?

It is composed of the following parishes (counties): Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis.[1][2] A 2010 population estimate of the five parish area was over 292,619.[3]

They're just trying to stay relevant since there no more oil and gas industry over there.

A DCI survey of site selectors and talent recruiters showed too few people outside southwestern Louisiana recognized the name Acadiana as representing this geographic region.
Sounds like the One Acadiana group has failed at their job, so they want to change what the region is called.
Stupid. Frickin Lafayette doing typical Lafayette things.

I am seeing a lot of insecurity from Baton Rougeans about Lafayette in this thread
Posted on 8/30/17 at 9:31 pm to Y.A. Tittle
So Lafayette is to South Louisiana what Shreveport is to North Louisiana?

Think I'll file this one under "who gives shite?"

I think Lafayette should sit on back and wait.
BR's Mayor will help them implode in due time.

Lafayette and ULL are trying WAY too hard.
Posted on 8/30/17 at 10:23 pm to Y.A. Tittle
I kinda like it. ULL can now rename their school back to USL, Univ. of South Louisiana.
Posted on 8/30/17 at 10:31 pm to Y.A. Tittle
What a simple thing to worry about in a time like this, you must be a complete dumb frick

Lafayette / Acadiana area people are some of the most insecure I have ever met.

I can say this, there is a very large group from Lafayette who want nothing to do with the new name. Acadiana is Acadiana. We don't need a new marketing name!
And, in my opinion, go ahead and change the university name back. I have absolutely no problem with it being a "directional school"....Yes, I am an alum and proud to be.
Long live the USL Ragin' Cajuns! (from Acadiana!)

I liked when they went from Southwestern to U La La. Now, the constant personality traits and name changes makes me think they are going with U Krista next.
Are we sure they have taken their meds?

So they changed USL because it was directional. Northside of Lafayette was changed to "upper Lafayette" again because of the directional reference and culcha but now it's OK for SOUTH La? That name change is just dumb! There is no other place in the country that can call themselves Acadiana. But there are a lot of places that can call themselves "south"
