I have uverse as well, they have been doing this for years. Nothing new.
And its Uverse not ESPN, it shows up like this no matter what channel we are on.

Yea. I had Uverse back in 2014, and I remember seeing Louisiana.

Re: LA - The new "official" abbreviation for stats, crawls, etc
A few years ago Turbine put forth using LA (since its legal) instead of pushing UL. While I always liked saying UL, it shouldn't be too difficult adjusting to LA. If using LA gets us away from the ridiculous name challenges both in state and in media then We The People should be supportive. If the branding takes us in the direction of caps or helmets have LA on it, I'm fine with it. We are Louisiana.
Re: LA - The new "official" abbreviation for stats, crawls, etc
LA is just for ticket or stats, it's not to start calling us La over UL. In conversation it's still UL. Like Houstoncajun likes to compare us to Texas longhorns...they say Texas or UT, but for tickers and stats they have "Tex". No one walks around saying Tex.

Found a stream of the game online. It has Lafayette as the name.
