This is not saying much but you have to agree ULL is a little bit smarter than ULM. ULL tricked ULM in agreeing to the name change, while the whole time ULL knew they were going to drop the last L so they could be University of Louisiana.

The Cajuns got one over on the Rednecks up north in that whole deal.

I think that the state could use two state schools that excel in athletics and academics. If the UL name helps them do that, then great. The insecurity of some LSU people is confounding. I don’t get it.


Louisiana Tech is #2 in the state way before ULL is. Tech has way more of a history of athletic success and better academics then ULL.

ULM is the one that bent the knee and was a little bitch letting Lafayette run with it

Nobody outside Louisiana knows them as Louisiana.

You know nothing is stopping ULM from doing the same thing? It is not like ULL has a legal right to Louisiana.

UL is R1, like LSU, with an endowment of $230 million. Tech is R2 (like Southern), and has half the endowment.

Like the gender and pronoun insanity, they can call themselves whatever they want. But that doesn’t make it reality and no one else is obligated to play along with their make believe.

Dumb… I’m from the Lafayette area and most of my family and friends are LSU fans but support both schools. Dang sure don’t pull for Bama.

I’ll never understand why a small demographic of LSU fans care so much.

I know very few UL fans that care.

I pull for both schools and fly both flags. I also prefer “USL” over “UL”. Funny that some of you think this is an insult.

First, LSU has had four different names in its history (LSS, UofL, LSUA&M, and just LSU, which isn't even the current name), same as UL (SLII, SLI, USL, UL).


When was L.S.U. ever known as LSS? I know what you're referring to, but it wasn't ever known as "LSS."

When was L.S.U. ever called "UofL"?

When was L.S.U. ever known as "LSUA&M"? Again I know what you're referring to, but "LSUA&M" (I often see the USL limpdicks throw this around as if they are proving something), but if you want to talk about it, you should strive for accuracy. You've fallen short here.

Enlighten us, what is L.S.U.'s "current name"?

And I'm not sure what this UL is you're referring to. Do you mean ULL?

They should call the annual ULL-ULM game the ‘UL Bowl’ and the winner gets to call themselves UL til the next game

Seems fair
