re: LSU vs ULL name for rivalry.

I've been an LSU fan since 1970 (back when we played Tulane every year) and I've never heard of "Tiger Rag" in connection with that game. Besides, I never understood the LSU-Tulane "rivalry". I know they were in the SEC back in the 50s and 60s so maybe that's where it started, but by the 70s Tulane was outof the SEC and awful, and I felt no real strong rivalry against them. And I sure as hell don't care about ULL. There's zero rivalry with them.

ULL's World Series

The Wannabes vs. the Alreadyares

It should be called the
"You start your Ace, We will start our 4th Starter".

LSU v. that directional school that used to be called SLI or USL or something like that.

OR
Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College that used to be called Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy v. Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns

Y'all should just focus on firing Uncle Tony. He is still living on that world series appearance 13 years ago. Time to breathe fresh life in that program, just look what it did for the football team.

Most believe that Tony will retire once his son Austin, who pitches for UL, graduates or leaves for the draft.

As a graduate of USL, I would have preferred keeping that name. I will respect the universities decision and call the school the University of Louisiana at Lafayette at this point. We should all respect both universities in that respect (albeit, the LSU moniker has been in place considerably longer that UL Lafayette). From an football point of view, LSU is my first love and that was cemented in my first year of college (that was at LSU and my first semester was in the West Stadium Drom, when they were still dorms, a testament to my procrastination at filling out my housing application). For basketball and baseball I fall about 50/50 usually pulling for the for a team based on the particulars of that season. I pull for the Cajuns when it comes to softball, I've been doing that since before LSU had a softball team.

I wish certain folks in both fan bases would dial it back a bit. To quote Rodney King "Can't we all just get along."

If it needs a name, that would work, but honestly, it's not a rivalry.

I thought it was "Louisiana Red Hawks"? You know, the ones that beat Arkansas last year and beat Saban at Bama a few years back. That's the "University of Louisiana", isn't it?
