Why do you all seem so butt hurt? Why find other people to blame for causing this when it's your own that seems to be throwing the fuel on the fire?


0/10

OP (alter) starts thread on issue, and accuses others of throwing fuel on fire.

Edit: Took out the nasty.

I have a question for all ULL alumni, since using Louisiana is just for athletic branding, do you tell people you graduated from Louisiana-Lafayette since that is the official academic name???

I say UL locally, and will say UL Lafayette to people not from here. I also use University of Louisiana at Lafayette on my resume.

Should put "THE University of Louisiana" and send it out to random places in BR though to see if a thread pops up on the OT about it.

I only have to say UL, due to the close proximity of Lafayette to Baton Rouge. No one has ever asked me "Lafayette or Monroe?" unless they're from Monroe.

I just ask because i have plenty of friends that went or go to UL Lafayette and not one of them has ever said they go to UL Lafayette, they all say UL so i call BS on the athletic branding part

Do you confront them over this? Because no one seems to give a shite until they're on a message board.

I act like the ULer is referring to Monroe every time I hear it in person. There is zero percent chance I let the comment slide without a rebuttal of some sort. Including by a couple Laffy buddies of mine that I hunt with. They still drop UL, I still play dumb like their talking about Monroe. Every fricking time

They should just play ULM for the rights to the name the following year. The only 2 programs that should care about the name issue are ULL and ULM because they are the only 2 affected by it. No one in the country thinks for a second that either school is the states flagship school. I think (hope) most LSU fans care only because it pisses off ULL fans. Does anyone think Ohio University is better/more prestigious that Ohio State? If someone picked a school based solely because it sounded like a flagship school, that is a person I'm glad not to have as a fellow alum.



DING DING DING, We have a winner...

I say this to anyone who has an issue on this topic.

I re-wrote it for you. So next time you won't have to use as many words.

To Whom It May Concern,

My butt is hurt over "ULL's" use of Louisiana. Please don't aide them in their hurting of my butt. It upsets my butt when "ULL" passes themselves off as Louisiana. Because my hurt butt doesn't want there to be such a thing. Please take my hurting butt seriously. My hurt butt's opinion is important!

Sincerely,

Butt-hurt Balls.

Too much use of the phrase butt hurt. It seems to occupy most of your thought process. Perhaps a less endowed boyfriend would clear your mind and open up your vocabulary. Good luck in your search.

Ironic coming from someone so obsessed with the Cajuns, he took the time to send out an e-mail to multiple bodies whining about what the athletics teams call themselves.

6 emails. It was fun., I can see why yall do it so much. I'll post their responses if and when they send them. Jindals was an auto response and sucked. Francis Thompson secretary sent a reply saying he would adress it when possible. I'm on pins and needles waiting!

I'll refer to Louisiana State as "Ole Miss" until they win back that broken magnolia trophy.
