And it what universe do you root for Bama over a Louisiana school?

If you lived in Lafayette you would understand how badly ULL wants to be LSU and hate LSU.

If you lived in Lafayette and paid attention you'd know that is a smaller group than people who pull for and love LSU. And if you are the flagship university in the state, the highest performing public university there, and the only nationally relevant football program wouldn't every school even close in size kind of want to be you?

And since when does other peoples stupid behavior justify you being stupid? Unless you already are.

FTR I live in Lafayette and have most of my 56 years, attended LSU, graduated from USL, and have a son currently at LSU.

In what world do you root for Bama?

I root fot Bama over any non-SEC team. If you lived outside SEC country, you would realize how much others hate the SEC, especially in Big 12, ACC and Big 10 country.

Our borders are surrounded on 3 sides and are constantly bombarded. We must hold the line...SEC! SEC! SEC!

I can’t believe Bama plays such a cupcake schedule every year.

They opened OOC with Southern Cal, FSU and Louisville, the last 3 years...

Bama and usl both hate LSU

I know plenty of people who graduated from ULL and are die hard LSU fans. Honestly, I think there are just as many, if not more die hard LSU than ULL fans in the Lafayette area. My wife has degrees from ULL and LSU and we support both and have attended football games at both schools. Why do you have to choose? I think there is a small percentage of any fan base that are like the OP and make it seem like a bigger issue than it is.

Every A decal on the back of a Louisiana plated truck around here means UL fan. Drives me mad.

72-0 bitches
Wife (no pics) is a UL alum and hates Bama with us so don’t hate em all

I went to USL in the 1970’s and there was no jealousy or hatred for LSU. I don’t know when it changed.

---

When USL changed their name to the University of Louisiana in 1984, the other universities in the state revolted. The state legislature passed a law forcing them to revert back to USL. LSU got the majority of the blame and many ULL supporters have held that against LSU ever since.

A.) you’re a fricking jackass that cares about other people’s opinions too much

B.) dude it’s ULL come on. You’re not a true LSU fan if you root for Alabama under any circumstance.

C.) y’all gotta realize the city of Lafayette people (not Acadiana as a whole) are not HUGE sports fans overall. They don’t really follow sports enough to be a fan of anything. They’re more into arts, food and music. I shite you not, go to a grocery store during a big saints game and you’ll see the place packed with people shopping in saints gear not watching the game. Look at Cajun field on Gameday. It’s a ghost town. Everyone wears ragin Cajuns gear and stores support it but I never see or hear of Cajun field being super packed for a game. They are fair weather fans who just wear the gear to tailgate and try to be big and important. In reality they are not true sports fans.

They’re jealous of LSU and feel like if it weren’t for LSU they’d be a power 5 team. For real that’s how they feel.

I really don’t Understand how this was such a big deal? If they remained the official “UL” does that magically mean they’ll become a powerhouse academically and athletically?

People act like a name really makes a difference that much. The only people who would truly benefit from the name are alumni and students. At the end of the day they’re still a middle of the pack G5 commuter school. Nothing wrong with that?
