Did they have to use the same name and same style logo from a fake school in a movie?

Only took you 22 years after USL renamed to catch this? Congratulations.

Seems like that movie was really about the Lafayette area. Being from Lafayette, I pretended it was more about the Eunice, Breaux Bridge, New Iberia folk. Also Bunkie, definitely Bunkie.

Do the ‘down the bayou’ Coach O kin also identify with this cinematic classic?

Those that are north of the Mason-Dixon look at Lafayette as how it was portrayed in the Waterboy.

which is ironic because we all know BR is the real garbage city in South Louisiana.

I believe it to be accurate and I live in the south.

USL


I liked USL and NLU. Couldn't they just have named the 2 schools University of South Louisiana & North Louisiana University ? Neither is ever going to be LSU so just be yourself.

I laugh at how castrated every ULM student and alum must be that they sit back and do NOTHING about an equal institution taking the indicator off their name while ULM takes it like a cuck

ULM just doesn’t give a shite, they don’t pretend to be something they aren’t.

They actually held up their part of the bargain unlike ULL that found a loop hole to brand their athletics as UL. I assume the only reason they changed was to keep ULL from getting the UL status.

The biggest issue I guess was that they were northeast and Southwest LA

That's why we also have SELA and NWLA

They were a group of 4

The majority of ULM alumni would still rather be called NLU. The name change of that and the Indians is part of the reason there's a lot of apathy in Monroe

Tulane is also the actual university if Louisiana and they have the political clout to actually do stuff.

It's most likely more up to them then anyone else
