And ULM tried to use "Louisiana" years ago and failed.



So what makes your UL more appropriate?

Well in that case, you can say that about any public institution.

Not at all. Not every public institution is actually a good school.

Yes, Tulane is a better academic institution than LSU. But is it ~$50,000 a year better? I would say "hell no".

Actually, I base this argument on what I've seen some posters say on here about the topic. And if you really don't believe that, then you are just as delusional as some of the people claim our fans to be.

What I can't understand is why ULL fans are so ashamed to be associated with the city of Lafayette. I always get the impression that natives of Lafayette are quite proud of their city, so it's a bit confusing as to why ULL fans don't feel the same way.

What if the other 8 UL schools decided to put "UL" on their athletic gear? How would that go over in Laffy?


Grambling State University
Louisiana Tech University
McNeese State University
Nicholls State University
Northwestern State University
Southeastern Louisiana University
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
University of Louisiana at Monroe
University of New Orleans

How many schools have "University of Louisiana" in front of their names?

Read my previous post about the city designation on the uniforms.

It's like they're a criminal trying to stay one step ahead of the law the way they keep changing their name.

Pretty soon they'll be known as " " (anonymous).

Because they don't have a hit country song about their city to play before football games

Really? What sounds more credible, University of Louisiana at Lafayette or University of Louisiana?

No one is ashamed of Lafayette. The city is what makes the school such a great place to attend. But it's all about perception. The school just got recognized as a national university according to US News. Getting away from the city designation helps the school grow outside of just the region.

Again, the school isn't changing its name. I don't see why it is so hard for some people here to understand that.
