It seems that the people of ULL also care a whole lot. I doubt it's an issue if the people of ULL don't push it so much.

I tune into local sports radio this morning, assuming they would be talking about such a big game for ULL, but what are they talking about??? The damn name of the school.


Where is local for you?

Listening to 103.7 and all they have talked about since 7:00 is the ULL name. Maybe 2 minutes of the actual football game, which was a pretty big win for them last night.

Front page of advertiser is about the ULL name...not the game.

People doing the show just said, "The name thing is a bigger deal than the actual game. That's the problem."

Perhaps he's not talking about the game because he didn't watch it and knows little about it, or ULL football?

It was a question. I don't know the dude. I don't know his knowledge of ULL football.

They use UL Lafayette for academic purposes. ULL is not a recognized nickname. Why do people insist on using it?


Athletics are an arm of the university.

I am an ul student and never understood why people freak out When someone says ull. Another thing I don't understand is they hate ull but they embrace usl.

I always go with Ooh La La. After the thumping they put on Arky State last night, I see them winning the Sun Belt with ease. Troy might give them a good game, or we might shite the bed. Hard to tell which team will show up. I don't see Monroe giving them much of a struggle. And I'm still not sure how good South Alabama is. We screwed around and let them back in it and had to score a TD in the final seconds to beat them, in Troy.

USL is nostalgic. ULL isn't recognized by the university. Also, I think people over exaggerate how many people get up in arms about it.

I also believe people over exaggerate. I never heard a student complain about hearing ull. The only time I hear the complaint is on TD and RP.

Not too many here care either. Only time I ever hear it discussed by anyone is on this board.

Maybe they're proud of Louisiana?
