Im working on a concept to get some kind of hand sign adopted by UL. UL has nothing and needs something.
I love You hand sign
Two hands each making an L back to back ULL
One L for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns like we have been suggesting to Gerald Hebert.
Do nothing
No to ULL
I started working on I Love UL made with one hand
Here is my concept. Ive been demonstrating how to do it on campus.

Give the .gif a second.
I suggest UL adopt this hand, sign wholesale, I spent Spring day showing a bunch of involved students and players how to do the " I Love UL" hand sign. I'm going to do the same thing for Media. Day.
Should I order stickers and foam hands?
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can picture a Hook-em-Horns type tradition with the second picture. It would be cool at the ESPN game if everyone held up their arms and did your UL sign with their hands. How can I get my hands on a sticker of each? The announcers might think the croud was saying I love you to them, so what, we can't go wrong.
My Media Day efforts paid off.
As the game started CC gives the "I Love UL" signs that I recommended to him at Media Day.
ps I didn't recommend both hands up in the air that is CC's ingenuity.
I love it.
how can we get this started? i mean the 2 fingers up and the thumb out signifying ul, texas has the 2 fingers up........what do you think?
What an original neet idea.Quote:

Ive recently seen a couple of students in the student section do this for the first time. UL ROCKS!Quote:

Even the resident raginpagin mulletheads can relate!

It wasn't started with university approval
And the University stole the idea. ;)
LOL no it was free for the taking, I think the fans made it go.Quote:

Back to your main point , yes this was definitely an organic thing that did not originate from the “marketing and communications department” of the university
I showed CC Brown at media day and he was the very first player to do.Quote:

Turbs, you’re the man but CC Brown wasn’t on the team until 03 season. He was in juco during the 02 season. I have pictures of players doing this before he was on the teamQuote:

I showed it to Cayenne (El Sidonio on RP) at a Tennis match (out of costume) He started doing it at games.
I use to stand in the tunnel after games holding the UL hand sign up and the football players would shoot it back.
However, I have almost six thousand pictures I took at practice, events, media day, post game, between 1999 and 2003 and not one player or fan was showing the UL hand sign.
I have thousands more pictures I took from 2004 to 2008 before David Walker kicked me out. By then it had caught on nd I have lots of UL hand signs in those years.
Thank you sir for helping push this along. (I still stand by my first hand experience on this)Quote:
