UL has rights to the University of Louisiana name as granted by the original owner, Tulane. Insecurity on the part of certain other universities is the only thing really preventing them from using it.




The big problem is the system they belong to is The University of Louisiana system.

It is stupid for ULL to be given the system name since
1. The other schools didn't come out of outgrowth from the Laffy campus.
2. They do not have the best academic institution in their system.
3. They are not the oldest institution in their system.
4. They are actually about the same size as Southeastern.
5. Also ULL and ULM both have the UL already in their name. It isn't fair for either school to appear like a satellite of the other.

It is a deceitful money play by the people at ULL.

Also I have a friend who works in media for the Sun Belt and laughs everytime she gets stuff from ULL. She said it is sad they send her stuff with UL or Louisiana on it when they know it has to be changed to their real name.

i'm fine with it, especially when UL-L beats LSU.Everytime you put down UL-L, your making LSU look worst, as aren't they supposed to win everytime against the so called inferior opponent


Not really, baseball is a completly different sport then football or even basketball in that the worst team in the league could beat the best team on any given day.

The San Francisco Giants won the world series last year and way back in April of last season they dropped a game to the pittsburgh pirates, a perennial last place team with minimal talent.

Does this make pittsburgh NOT an inferior opponent or NOT one of the worst teams in the leauge? Of course not. It just means they dropped a meaningless game to a sub-500 team in April.

I wonder why Pittsburgh Pirate fans aren't beating their chest saying how they beat the World Series Champs? Answer of course is because it's baseball and you plays tons and tons of games and your gonna drop some over the course of a long season.

One game doesn't determine a season unlike alot of other sports and the winner of the championship always loses dozens of games by the end of the year.

So congrats ULL fans here's a cookie!!

the only thing that I can say about ULLLLA or whatever is that you can call them what you want but you "can't polish a Turd"

I'd be so confused if Lafayette ever played University of Louisville (UL)...

Louisville goes by U of L not UL, so there goes that confusion.

You knew it would turn into an LSU v. ULL pissing match.

The point which has been lost here is the jackasses on that website that changed Mainieri's quote. That is inexcusable for anyone who wants to be taken seriously as a publication.

ULM should just start referring to itself as THE University of Louisiana

In reply to post by jumboragncajun Time out....explain to me what LSU baseball did before the 1980's? Here is the deal. LSU is perfectly fine with a certain sport until someone does it better than them in this state. Examples....UNO Baseball, La Tech Women's Basketball, USL Men's Basketball, USL-UL Softball. They don't like to be shown up. So excuse me for not bowing at the f--king feet because they were really really good for a short portion of their existence. This is not Michigan Football. This is not UCLA Basketball here. Dynasty yes...but the program even with what they have accompished was known for absolutely nothing before 1980. LSU baseball threw the kitchen sink at baseball, and they got results. Using a small sample size...you may be correct. Using a large sample size....less amazing more mediocre. Facts to back that up....wanna guess where they rank in all time winning percentage? 49th. .603 winning percentage over the history of LSU baseball. All time wins.....28th. This is not UT Baseball brother. So tone down the manlove for those guys out east and realize if the 80's and 90's never happened...it would be LS...who. Guess what...we earned those stripes a long time ago. We have been to the mountain top, though we never clutched the brass ring, this is not a David versus Goliath, its more David versus his slightly smaller cousin Jerome. That's the idea I feel you have a severe problem getting around. I find no reason to put their program on a pedestal. I find no reason to put any program on a pedestal. No one is untouchable. No one is sacred. Church!!! | Reply

I wonder how does it feel to get drummed again by a non-contender the last 2 out of 3 times they played..



ULL: "We beat LSU and they won a NC that year"

LSU: "We won a National Championship"

Are you guys still upset over last night's game? Come on. It is meaningless. It means zilch. A mid week loss or a mid week win makes no difference, especially to UL

it goes both ways though. LSU fans seem to look down on ULL fans and love to use the name thing as an excuse to start an argument. ULL fans get defensive about being looked down on, and use the name thing as a way to piss off LSU fans.

Funny thing is, it works on both accounts.
