-----Jay i was thinking that one great thing that could happen with the new paper in the area was that the stories could run in the BR and NO editions---have been to NO fairly much but mixed coverages are there with a sometimes an article to NOTHING---was this suppose to be the modus operendi???Quote:

LOL!! There may be a time in the near future that I just may offer it back to you and, you may find that after expenses and paying someone to help you there is still almost nothing!Quote:

Mel can you imagine how great our economy would be if everyone who created a good or service gave it away for free.Quote:

I understand people need to make money on items and goods, but it is free for now and I will take advantage of that fact. I am sure sooner or later they will start charging and when they do I will stop reading or do the same tricks that I use to read the advertiser when I find something interesting. Most of you do not know my situation but I am currently paying to house notes and have turned off cable TV in both house. It is called priorities and paying for a subscription online or to have it delivered is not a priority in my life right now. I would rather pay for my season tickets and memberships to the rebounder's club & diamond club. As for those two sports I have more information than anyone could write in either paper.Quote:

Wait ULM, ... no confusion ... I don't see the problem ever.
Sorry. Won't EVER get over it. Period. It's personal. It isn't with you because you didn't graduate from UL or get handed a University of Louisiana diploma when you graduated. No, I won't get over it. EVER.

I have two degrees. Both say I graduated from The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The university has to be called that. The issue is what the university's athletics program should be called.Quote:

If our president was standing up and supporting this I could see where everyone is coming from, why would Luke Johnson fight for this against his bosses when our president won't? If everyone turned all their attention on this to the one person who can answer maybe we would know something. My how soon everyone has forgotten last years Monroe game. Luke Johnson didn't do that.
The guy came on here before he started and explained the situation. Even if he writes "UL" or "Louisiana" in every reference, it will be edited. There is no reason to send any messages to him. The guy is doing a fantastic job with his coverage of our program. Fight the good fight all you want, but aiming your shots at Luke Johnson is a complete waste of time.Quote:

It's two separate things.
What Louisiana84 was doing was trying to tie the university name on his diploma to the name debate. I was trying to point out his inaccuracy.
In '84 there was class that got diplomas with University of Louisiana.
There are thousands more with southwestern Louisiana on their diploma.Quote:
