You’d be surprised the number of schools who add city designations to their official name but only say the state when branding themselves.

Here’s a hint. The Cajuns are playing one of those schools today.


UT Austin is the flagship of the UT system. There is no flagship in the UL system.

Watching ULM play Kentucky on SEC, wouldn’t they have just as much claim to the name ‘Louisiana’ if they chose to use it? And wouldn’t hilarity ensue if they did?


Ladies and gentlemen, the MSB has seen its shadow. College Football has officially arrived. Let's have a great fricking day.

That is like saying your 3 inch dick is bigger than your friend’s 2 inch dick.

LSU is the top dog in the state academics and athletics. No one is close on the athletics side.

Louisiana Tech is far superior to UL-L in academics and it is not even close. LaTech has a far more storied athletic history than UL-L.

Tulane can do whatever Tulane wants - their academics are excellent and their financial resource are mind blowing.

Just like your official name is not LSU.



Yeah our official name is Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. LSU for short.

ULL is the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Your official name was never, ever Louisiana. It's a stupid branding thing you do. I wish ULM would start using Louisiana to weaken your brand.

I don't understand why this is so contentious. No one confuses Ohio and Ohio State

If only this was true for deer season when we get invaded by the midget white shrimp boot wearing coon arses.

This is also why I love when a kid from NELA signs with Bama.

As for the name thing, that ship has sailed. ULM bent over and let ULL just have it.

Never forget this little move right here.

It started out as this...



Then after a while the design company ran out of apostrophes and "Ss" I guess...



Honestly, as a USL alumnus, this makes me kind of embarrassed.

Tell me what data set you want me to use!

Louisiana Tech is constantly ranked 50 to 150 spots better than UL-L….if UL-L is ranked at all.

Most of the state ranking for academics are:

1) Tulane
2) LSU
3) Louisiana Tech

Those are the only 3 schools that are ranked in every major academic ranking service year in and year out.

Now, LaTech is a nationally ranked tier 1 and all but LSU is significantly ahead and Tulane is way ahead of both LSU and Tulane.

LaTech is usually a top ranked institution when the studies balance cost and academics. A few years ago, they won this title.
