Who cares what ULL wants to call themselves? Why does it bother you so much? Do you honestly think someone will see UL and confuse them for being the flagship university of the state? Let it go. You’ll live a much happier life.

UL is a fine institution, not every high school graduate can afford to move to another city


So they can afford to move to Louisville?

This is Jay Walker’s fault that it’s come to this. “Touchdown…Louisiana!!”

No, and that's the point. It's amazing to see how people waste their energy on this to care so much as if UL will somehow steal LSU's thunder because of their brand.

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.


According to the USL fans and alumni I know.

because they feel like using a Direction in their school name makes it sound like an inferior product.
You know , like University of Southern California.

They also think that attaching your city name to the school just as "small time" as having a direction.
You know, like UCLA

It’s an in state “rivalry” just like they have in every other state across the country lol

Why is that so weird? What’s so confusing about this lol



most of those other states have in-state rivalries that are on at least somewhat equal footing.
meaning both schools are power 4. And they play each other every year in every sport.

It’s said they wanted to become more nationally recognized and not be viewed as a regional university.


They just did it to get under LSU fans skin… dont read any more into it than that

Most Ragin Cajun fans that live in Lafayette do not pull for LSU

I guess we hang out in different circles, but everyone know that I know who graduated from UL is both an LSU and UL fan
