One of the worst opinion pieces I've ever read. And I don't even care about the issue.
His article made me understand it LESS.

The one the Cajuns fan started was a game thread. The one about espn and the name was started by a USA fan

Cajuns fan

USA Fan

Probably a LSU fan based on the name

No clue

Well if the University of Virginia is UVA shouldn't the University of Louisiana be ULA?

We tried U of Louie but the legislature said that people would confuse us with Louie's Cafe on State St.

It'll always be U-La-La, ULL, University of Louisiana-Lafayette or USL to me.

Big surprise that if they do that.

BTW, didn't all of this latest attention to the name start with ULL's sport information director getting all pissy with ESPN 3's coverage of one of their games? So let's remember that all these threads stem from that hissy fit.

He has a point, and honestly, that article should be the end of it. They are doing this legally, and by athletics only. Its a branding reason, and they should be able to do it (they are able to do it), so everyone should just deal with it. It's not that big of a deal. ULM had their chance to do it and they decided not to. It doesn't matter how much they call themselves "Louisiana", they will never be on the level of LSU (no offense), so why does everyone care so much?


I'll still call them ULL or USL by habit htough

Doesn't pass the bulletin board test.

It creates a de facto flagship of the University of Louisiana system.

If you are calling on a company, supposedly a partnership owned by Brown, Smith, and Jones; and the name of the company is Brown Company, who would you think is in charge and the person you should talk to?

This is thirty years of back door moves at attempting to gain something the cajuns can't gain through up-front, legitimate methods.

If the state should decide it needs a second comprehensive university, that should be determined and designated by the legislature. Not by those who simply want it.
