Re: FAVORITE Athletic Abbreviations
Turbine put ULOU as a choice!
Re: FAVORITE Athletic Abbreviations
Jesus____ingchrist, how many times does Turbine, Jay and others have to say it?!!!! We can't use University or any abbreviations of it ? No "U" followed by any other letter or combinations of letters. The simple solution would be LA. Damn, why is that so ____ing hard to understand?
Re: FAVORITE Athletic Abbreviations
UL = Louisville
LA = Los Angeles
ULA rolls of the tongue the best, and isn't associated with anything already

Re: FAVORITE Athletic Abbreviations
That's not what I mean, when people hear LA, they don't think Louisiana, they think Los Angeles. I know its not the correct postal abbreviation, but I doubt many sports fans care. I think the easiest way to build a brand is to start with something that doesn't create confusion.

Apparently hearing it from Jay nor having you, me and others repeat it over and over is not getting through. I don't know why, it seems like a pretty simple concept.

I understand but it isn't for verbal usage, it is for a visual ticker so you would only see it in the context of the college game being played since no one else is using it.
Re: FAVORITE Athletic Abbreviations
I guess the real question is will ESPN use it? can someone point me in the direction of this law about the name so I can read it for myself.

The pertinent part is quoted here https://forumeus.com/showthread.php?4848
There are two links to the official documents but I see they made one link a log in site and the other they took down.
With the quoted part you should get a feel for the law.
