Can you tell me what is on LSU’s official letterhead?
LSU A&M aka Louisiana State University Agricultural & Mechanical College....but hypocrites gonna hypocrite.
If schools never evolved The flagship would still be in Pineville and called Louisiana State Seminary of Learning Military Academy.

Hence why I always point to what Nevada-Reno did with their athletic branding. That’s what we’re doing as well.
I dont know anything about the Nevada system and whether calling them Nevada instead of Nevada Reno causes issues within their system.
But ULL calling itself UL with ULM within the same system and on the same ground just objectively doesn't make a lot of sense.
I'm not trying to tell y'all not to do it, but it shouldnt be much of a surprise when outsiders don't listen to the universities "demands" as the writer in the original screenshot suggested.

ey equate themselves with schools like North Carolina (who don't use Chapel Hill in their names) Texas (at Austin) etc.

Ok, so why is that wrong?
seriously?
UL-L is not in the same category as either of those 2 schools in:
size
academic standing
athletic accomplishments
brand recognition
etc.
etc.
etc.

The difference being that LSU is the state’s flagship university beholden to no one while ULL is a directional school under the same umbrella as ULM, Nicholls State, and Southeastern.

Compared to the other UL system schools it sure is, your ignorance doesn’t make it not.

You need a history lesson of how Huey P. Long backdoored LSU to prominence.
LSU was winning conference championships when Huey was 3 years old.
how much stroke did the Kingfish have while still shitting in diapers?
maybe 15 year old Huey was striking backdoor deals to raise LSU to the 1908 season that they could realistically claim as a National Title.

Now we’re getting somewhere. So you admit that ULL is inferior to LSU?

Look for awhile I argued that ULL wasnt any better than ULM and Tech. But I know thats probably wrong now. Yall do have a bigger campus and offer more than both schools. However trying to compare anything to UNC or UT is completely fricking laughable.

UL Lafayette is the 2nd largest public university in this state and the only tier 1 research school in the UL system. If LSU did not involve themselves UL Lafayette would be the flagship without a doubt.
It all relates back to why progress is never made in this state and we rank last in almost every metric. It’s sad that LSU, it’s politicians and fans care so much about what another school trying to improve itself brands its name. Especially when the aforementioned school is deemed as no threat academically and athletically.
This.
You can't say "You are ULL because it's your official name" while throwing "LSU" around even though it's not the full abbreviation. So what if we go by Louisiana? It's an athletic brand just like "LSU".

The comment you quoted is pure fricking fan fiction. My god y’all are pathetic relishing in your little brother complex.
Why won’t LSU leave us alone so we can be the flagship!?

both UNC and Texas are prestigious academic institutions (both members of AAU).
there is not a metric around that puts ULL on that level academically.
both UNC and Texas have more than double the student population of ULL.
both UNC and Texas compete in power 5 conferences and have multiple national championship in at least 1 (if not multiple) mens sports.
being bigger and better than Nicholls State does not put you on par with Texas and UNC.

Only because LSU lawyers made it so it had to be that way. Your lawyers can’t do anything about how we brand our athletic teams, but go right ahead and keep sending those emails and making those phone calls to espn and other media outlets telling them what they should call another school. It’s pathetic that these UL/USL/ULL name threads are as popular as the travel ball threads.

More fan fiction. LSU fans don’t do this. ULL is an afterthought everywhere in the state but Lafayette. It is your fan base and directional college administration that does this, as evidenced by the OP.

You nutbags create these villains that don't exist. I have two degrees from LSU, have been to countless athletic events, and spent many hours tailgating for those events. I have never once had a discussion with anyone about ULL, EVER. No one cares.
Don't take message board jabs as a sign of relevancy.
