does anyone know what the name is going to be for our new athletic complex? forgive me for being overly excited about it, i know it's early but i definately think this is a time to implement using "Louisiana" in some way

what do y'all think?

I suggest naming it after the guy who started football at the University of Louisiana.

"Ashby Woodson Manual Training Facility"

WHEN TURBINE SPEAKS, I LISTEN!!!

I did not know who started football, but I know someone whose entire life was SLI, USL, & UL football. This person as you can see was involved with 3 universities.


B. J. "Blackjack" Landry Athletic Complex

talk about I learn something new everyday. great information, i like the sound of "Blackjack" athletic complex but I know I have no say in it...

B.J. was a guy who spent his life working for SLI/USL/UL athletics. I dare say that no one on any internet message forum loved the Ragin' Cajuns as much as B.J. He'd want to fight anyone who dared say a discouraging word about his Ragin' Cajuns.

Just on name recognition alone BlackJack would probably be the most popular pick. No one says ULAthletics more than he,

I doubt seriously that anyone would even know who Ashby Woodson is so on name recognition alone he would probably come in () last.

However I am looking at the new Athletic facility as a "New Begining" so I thought who better than the guy who started football and thus "ULAthletics" at UL.

Thus I suggest our long forgotton UL professor of Manual Traning, <a href="https://forumeus.com/showthread.php?p=8#post8" target="_blank"> Ashby Woodson</a>

This would the right thing to because of all BJ has meant to this University. However it does not pay the bills and that is what this naming is all about.~. ..O..

True but a building with a name stands a better chance of getting renamed (for money) over a no-name buliding.

Thus I suggest an initial name that will not be objected to dropping when the money name arrives.

OK if not the new athletic building, then how about the Annual Football Banquet being named The B. J. "Blackjack" Landry Memorial Banquet. After all football was his main focus.
