Has he even been able to practice with the team yet? Does he know the plays? Can he play on Saturday or is this last minute approval too late for this week?

Sails will travel and will likely play, Bustle said.

Cajun T, I got your message. Many thanks, as always.

Take the ball from MD and run toward the opposing team's goal posts... oh, and run really fast toward the spaces between players with the uniform colors not like ours... real, real fast. Oh, and don't drop the ball... Coach Jenkins don't go for that shat.

Not saying he should of gotten it over our guys but it is not as bias as what everyone is making it out to be. Guys just chill, its just a player of the week and in the long run it means absolutely nothing. _

That.....and it was a Conference game.

Just come up with an "Undre' Left" and "Undre' Right" play for this week.

In order for that to happen we need to take care of our own backyard first. Changing names of organizations runs the risk of angering many people. To suggest that we do this in order to appeal to people who already pull for their home team, be it La Tech, ULM or any other school is just crazy. We can be The University of Louisiana and still keep true to our cultural herritage. Anything else is just a p!$$!ng contest over trivial matters.

No more Louisiana Lafayette, UL Lafayette, U LA LA, ULL, Acadiana, etc. etc.

We were the Pride of Acadiana when we were SLI and USL and ULL and everything in between. "Acadiana" was never the school's name. The band's moniker didn't change then and it shouldn't change now.

I am not suggesting that we abandon our roots and forget that we are located in Lafayette and Acadiana. But if we want to progress, then we need to move on to reflect the changes in our university. I agree with HoustonCajun, we need to tie as many things as we can to Louisiana to reinforce the connection. JMHO _

Nobody outside of UL knows the name of our band, and nobody outside of UL will really ever know the name of our band. It's not to say that the band isn't good or couldn't be great. It has nothing to do with how good the band is. It's just that at the end of the day, nobody knows much about college bands unless you're doing the script "Ohio" or you're Southern. Calling the band "The Pride of Acadiana" is the ONE tradition that's lasted through all the political and name change crap that the school's endured over the years. Changing the name of the band won't do anything to help our name recognition and or perpetuate the "Louisiana" thing, and keeping the name of the band won't harm our efforts be known as "UL" or "Louisiana" or anything else. I promise you this, if you could concretely show me that calling the band "The Pride of Louisiana" would help the cause, I'd be all about it. But it will have no effect, so why change one of the few traditions we have?
