Well they were referring to us as "Lafayette", not "UL Lafayette".

"Lafayette" is an entirely separate school.

There's a difference between academics and athletics. Also the thing McCann was probably most upset about would be just "Lafayette" which is confusing because there's a Lafayette College.

"Welcome home, Jenny."
"Dad, I go by Jenn now."

ULL is Jenny. They'll always be Jenny.

So do you want to be confused nationally with Lafayette or Louisville? Quite the conundrum.

Magnificent point, and excellent logic considering no one in here is arguing for the usage of the UL abbreviation.

Next.

So is UL.

You do know UL is University of Louisville correct?

UL-L or UL-Lafayette, is a tier 2, directional school located in South West Louisiana.

You're welcome.

The athletic branding has been Louisiana. They use UL Lafayette on the academic side of things. They don't use ULL at all.


Why have one branding for athletics and one for academics? Besides yall knowing that more media/tv coverage comes from athletics thus it is easier to push "Louisiana" this way.

Well you can't give yourself a name if it isn't approved by the state. So unless it was approved, your school name is UL-Lafayette, academically and athletically. You and your SID need to get over it.

That sort of shite is exactly why I root against ULaLa, even though my dad got his masters from there and I've got a lot of friends and family in Lafayette.

Actually, Louisville uses the UofL abbreviation. LINK

A lot of schools do it. Just visit the websites for UT for example, LINK

It's not uncommon. Also, the use of Louisiana is not illegal.


Just a bunch of people who don't care getting worked up again.

Yeah, the LSU fans' penis envy is mixing with their butt hurt and it's causing a volcanic reaction of mad.

Ah, I see. There was no "Louisiana Lafayette", it was just "Lafayette". That, I did not know. I 100%, whole-heartedly admit that I did not watch the ULL game.
