I love seeing Louisiana on the scoreboard and on CBS, and having these commentators talking and saying Louisiana. I really think us winning the name battle has already done wonders for this University.
If we can be successful in Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Softball etc. we can really become a household name like Mississippi St. or Oklahoma St..
We won the name battle we just got to handle our business on the field!
I agree 100%…last night was a huge opportunity to take it further but we just came up short.
Let hope Jordan Brown comes back so we can do this again next year!
How many players do we have returning next year ?
Who is coming back next year?
Serious question, and I’ll be the bad guy to ask it.
If the anchors of this team don’t return, what’s the key purpose of retaining Coach Marlin at this stage of the game for the price tag?
A year ago it was time for him to go. Does one tournament appearance, where again we are one and done, seriously buy him 3+ more years?
Kenny Smith to Charles Barkley at halftime, can the Cajuns win? Barkley "No"....that was pretty funny and the highlight of my night was hearing those legends talking about us. I felt the same way as Barkley after the way we played in the first half.
It was also very revealing what the commentators said about our guards just standing around 5 minutes into the game. With that said nothing for this team to be upset about, they gave it their all, we just didn't have the backcourt talent to go far at this level in the tournament.
Whether or not he comes back, we need SHOOTERS.Quote:

We need players who can dribble into the paint and score. Need to create shots in the paint.Quote:

……..lWe have NOT WON the name war…..we still battle for it and we have definitely made some progress….we must understand how detrimental it is to the schools that hate us…..just check out what we are referred to on their scoreboards and message types…..in fact there will probably be more law suits down the line……so let’s for the present just type LOUISIANA and some UL….they hate us guys!Quote:

I actually like it!! Better then Louis or anything else I can think of. It is like Tenn, or Bama, Zona, etc.Quote:

I mean Ragin Cajuns, or the FDL is nice I really like the FDL, but we really need to use just an L not UL. That would be the three we only use for branding. We have to think Oregon, Arkansas, Texas etc.
Oregon O is iconic
We are UL (insert hand sign) and Louisiana! It’s important to be consistent with our athletic branding.
I’ve lost hope the AA and academic university will be consistent with athletics. We can win the name battle internally if the AA will, at least, use UL and Louisiana in emails and advertising for athletic events.
War is over, Boom. Louisiana is the victor.Quote:

I came up with this L and I think it fits with the current L font that we currently use, now it is not professional. If you clean it up I think it would look great. Here it is trust me I have looked at alot of logos and alot of L's and I think this one fits the best. It can interchange from red to white, either way. Think of this like a secondary logo. Like the A for Arkansas, or F for Florida, or A for Arizona. Or the O for Oregon

Love it.
Can you try one where the thin vertical shadow line maintains the same gap (and doesn't touch) at the base?
Just a thought.
Like this? Honestly this looks better. Good call.
