What do strangers see when the read UL-Lafayette

[AstroCajun]

Early this morning another example of mistaking UL for Lafayette has popped up. They had the wrong story altogether and the revised story is now found in this LINK.

The enemy is not LSU, the enemy is the University of Lafayette.

They must be stopped.

I think the best thing we have going for us is "Ragin' Cajuns"--it is universally recognized. If we could get more of our sports jersey's to read "Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns," (I think some of the baseball jersey's are this way and it is the way T.D. announces the team) this might help people understand. Maybe the media guides can put this as a designated manner of referring to our athletic teams (i.e., "Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns" instead of "the Ragin' Cajuns of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette").

Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns is good, very good.

"Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana" is better.

Who had the dumb idea we were better off as Lafayette? This writer did no research at all to include us in the NIT

I believe the writer did do his research. I contend he received a press release that had Lafayette and in his "Lafayette" research he came up with a mis-marketed school located in Louisiana.

I was reading the fall 2005 issue of La Louisiane and in the opening salvo of 8 paragraphs when many of the paragraphs were only a single sentence and none were more than 3 sentences long; there were 5 UL Lafayette references.

It is unfortunate and undeniable; this school is being marketed as Lafayette.

Yep.

I also find it quite humorous that the main objection I hear from certain people against puting UL on the football helmet like the baseball hats is that, "They are going to think the L stands for Lafayette".

How stupid does that stance look now.

We ARE Lafayette, unless something drastic happens.
