My diploma has USL my father’s SLI. Who knows before. Enjoyed Saturday nights in Baton Rouge. So who cares what it’s named now.

Why are you like that? A poster said the rivalry was weird, you said it wasn’t. He asked you why and you called him sensitive?? I just don’t understand why you act the way you do. It’s all the time. On every board

LSU fans are trash and have a weird obsession with this topic


ULL fans are trash and were told explicitly when they moved to the Louisiana system that they could not be called UL. They tried for years and were denied for years to use the moniker. Then some piece of crap at ULM didn't block them once. He was promptly fired and ran out of town. Now they want everyone to call them Louisiana which is still prohibited in the law.

Most Ragin Cajun fans that live in Lafayette do not pull for LSU and a very large contingency of them are active Alabama fans for only one reason, because they hate LSU and the know LSU fans despise Alabama.

It’s very similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It’s said they wanted to become more nationally recognized and not be viewed as a regional university. However, they keep their sub-regional mascot name of Ragin Cajuns. You know Ragin is not even a real word, it should be Raging Cajuns. They were at one time called the Bulldogs, so they should have gone back to that when they went from USL to UL.

They are dumb and have an inferiority complex. I liked them when they were the Southwestern Louisiana Institute because it sounded like a mental institution and that was a perfect fit.

Sounds like you spend a lot of time thinking about them.

Not really, but I live here and I don’t live under a rock, so I’m aware.

Showing up again to call out this fake rivalry…



LSUs brand and identity is Cajun culture. Cajun fans and LSU fans are the same people.

“Geaux”

“Hot boudin and cold Cush Cush (couche couche)”

A real life Burr(eaux) wouldn’t have been from NOLA or Monroe… sorry

Fake rivalry.

Riiight.

So you suggest they use a mascot that another state team uses? Interesting, I wonder why they stopped using that, you think maybe because another state school already used it?

Well there is another UL up in Monroe, so why not use the Bulldogs?

I think you are one of those LSU hating Cajun fans aren’t you?

Not even close. buddy. I'm an LSU football season ticket holder and have two kids who graduated from LSU in the last decade.

Are you 12? You seem to have a very juvenile way of reasoning.

I never claimed it to be a rivalry. That’s when there is active two way participation. There is not…

It’s envy on the part of Cajun fans, granted not all, but many. They are jealous and instead of improving, they hate.

I live in Lafayette and yes, I know there are many, many LSU fans that totally outnumber UL fans, I’m referring to a somewhat large group of nutty UL fans.

In the 90’s and early 00’s everyone pulled for each other… throughout the whole state unless the teams were going head to head. It wasn’t until Saban won the natty that ULL and Tech got penis envy and started disliking LSU and their fans.

They are UL-L

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette

They are NOT and will NEVER be U-L or the University of Louisiana.

I have no idea why they hate Lafayette so much that they want to drop it from the name of their school, but it will never be allowed. Ever.
