re: 2 Great wins last night for the state of Louisiana

You sir(and I use the term loosely)are doing nothing but trying to FLAME this board. I have lived in Louisiana all my life, my father went to USL (UL,ULL or what ever the hell ya call it)and have traveled much of this USA and I can tell you point blank, THERE IS ONLY ONE LSU!!! Always has been and always will be!!! So call your school what ever u want. It will never be LSU no matter how much you may want it to be and if you don't believe me just ask people across the nation. That to me is what makes this sooo funny! To my LSU TIGER friends I say......what difference does it make what ULL fans call themselves. They (the school) will never be LSU !!

One of your friends came on our board and started shooting off at the mouth the day before LSU played UL in baseball. Then when we won he had nothing else to say.

If it was Ragin' Pagin he was probably blocked because all the posters there and the admins have the thinnest skin imaginable.


I joined Ragin' Pagin two years ago to wish ULL a clean, injury free game in Death Valley...I have a lot of family that are ULL fans. To sign up for an account, you have to electronically sign that the school in Lafayette is UL, not ULL. In typing posts, the site automatically changes "ULL" or "UL@L" to "UL."

I got around that by referring to the school as "UL-L." Later that same day, I was warned to stop referring to the school BY ITS NAME or I'd be banned.

ULL fans have much more venom to spew at LSU than the other way around. I couldn't care less about all their chest beating, look at me, attitude. LSU is the flagship of the state of LA...deal with it.

To put this into perspective LSUE LSUA and LSUS do not call themselves LSU...

And ULM doesn't go by UL. UAB doesn't go by UA (pretty sure 'Bama would have a slight issue with that).

The only people who have a problem with accepting reality are the little people from ULL.

Are you on the right thread??? i never said we wanted to be LSU. I think it is in your mind.
We want to be UL.......We want to be UL....... WE want to be UL... :)

We don't want to be u and never will want to be you...... We want to be UL...

FIFY little man.

I am sorry that happen to you (honestly). I was unaware of that about the site not allowing you to post ULL. That is kind of funny. :)

I agree that LSU is the Flagship University of the State. I never said anything thing about that. So, there is no argument there.

I just don’t understand why there is so much hostility towards UL and the name UL?

i just dont understand how ULM knows they are ULM, while ULL is confused

Maybe because you frickers wasted state money a few years ago fighting over the "@ Lafayette" part of your name and still got shot down by the legislature. Then y'all try to be all smart arse about it by putting "LOUISIANA" as big as you can on everything while sneaking "lafayette" in somewhere no one can see. It's sad really.

And LSU is not your name. It is LSU A&M. What’s the difference? Stop calling yourselves LSU. We already had this argument and your degree has this name on it.
