How is it vague? An athletic team branded as "Texas" will undoubtedly garner more attention, sell more shirts than "UT-Austin."


How so? You have the numbers "T"?

Yes and I'm not comparing the schools at all. I'm not upset either, just trying to clear the air on why the university would attempt this style of branding. Do you get what I'm saying?

How many UTs were there in 1893?


No clue. I just looked on Wikipedia to see when they started playing football, and what they called themselves then. It was Texas.

I get it. I think it's a silly effort. I don't think it makes me angry, though.

Maybe if UL-L made more affliction style t-shirts they wouldn't need to change their name to "Louisiana" for marketing purposes.

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.

So you're saying he wouldn't be upset if they'd have called y'all Louisiana Lafayette or simply said ULL? I don't believe that.

I think he is doing this to get some national recognition, and it's working

No and I don't care enough to go searching but you're just being intentionally obtuse if you're saying you don't get it.

Why doesn't UL Lafayette get a local legislator to introduce a bill, so the bitching can cease?

You people need to respect that the state of Louisiana doesn't want to embarrass itself by stamping its name flagship-style on an insignificant commuter school.
