why do they feel so entitled?

If i was the state system I would call them and tell them to quit bitching. If they can claim "elite" status, Louisiana Tech and Louisiana-Monroe should start calling themselves University of Louisiana just to :mindblown: everyone

As one ULL scribe penned on another site:

UL is to UL Monroe, what University of Texas is to University of Texas San Antonio.

You, the person telling other people to eat a dick, are the one who sounds mad. The fact of the matter is that there are a shitload of universities in this state. What gives ULLLLLLLLL the right to be THE University of the entire state?

I'll answer that for you. Nothing gives them that right. It's something that the school itself dreamt up. It's not factual, nor should it be accepted as fact.

University of Lousiana on Johnston Street seems like a better name.

Those at UL particularly do not want their sports teams referred to as Louisiana-Lafayette or ULL, both monikers familiar to many outside of Louisiana


Why?

To me, this just further perpetuates my believe that the city of Lafayette's unofficial motto is: " Welcome to Lafayette, LA. What, you think your better than me?!!!!"

I think ESPN should call them ULOL tonight, or stick with the traditional You'll Laugh (UL-LAF)

Because the University and athletic department decided to brand the athletics department as Louisiana.

Why did Sam Walton call his store Walmart?

Because they think branding their athletic department as "Louisiana" will get them out of LSU's shadow and create more exposure. Thus making them more relative and giving them an opportunity to reach our status.

The easy fix here is move the school to Scott. Change the name to Louisiana-Scott University. Then they can be called LSU also.

I know Jefferson was being difficult, but if some of you actually can't wrap your heads around why we would choose to brand ourselves as Louisiana... click here.

Its not that I dont understand it, its the fact that I dont give a frick. That and the fact that outside of Lafayette it seems to be a pretty futile attempt.

ETA: And changing from Waltons to WalMart isnt the same as changing from ULL to UL.
