Water Tower Marketing

Huval said contractors will begin painting two logos — one athletic, one academic — on the LUS water tower in early October. He expects the project to be complete by the end of December.

I don't think an academic logo should go on the water tower.

See, the water tower is exactly half way between the entrance to Gator Cove (Track & Field) and The Horse Farm, and UL academics said they wanted nothing to do with the Horse Farm, then gave it away.

Well OK that is not my real reason for not wanting it up there, but I cringe at what they might put and the potential pc wording.

Only one logo is needed. "The University of Louisiana"

I'm with you Turbine, you can bet it will not be what it needs to be.

Or, LOUISIANA Ragin Cajuns.

I think he is being optimistic about December. We first have to completely shroud the entire exterior of the tank to collect all of the spent blast media and paint chips. Then blast and prime, intermediate and top coat. The interior will be blasted and painted. There will also be some minor repair work done. All is weather and temperature dependent. I have found that good painting weather after mid to late November is pretty rare. We will see. In either case it will take some time to do this project. I will know more after a preconstruction conference later this month.

My (happy) prediction is they will put Ragin' Cajuns for Athletics.

My (sad) prediction is they will put UL Lafayette for Academics.


The outcome will be ANY coach who comes through Acadiana will think the school is called "Lafayette." and you will get many more misidentifying stories like the one that happened in the Still the Ragin' Cajuns thread.

The bright side is Brian McCann should never get bored.

I have been thinking of all this name issue stuff and that is never a good thing. So the Miami Univ. in Miami has taken to calling themselves "Thee U" and Ohio University has started calling themselves Theee Ohio University or some ____ like that. So while we are messing with people, we should start calling ourselves "Thuhh EL" Not Thee L but Thuhh OR we can call ourselves "Thuhh ELSS" That will ____ a bunch of you of though, so pretend I didn't suggest that one.

And when we get tired of trying to get them to call us that, we can start insisting that they call us "Le Cajuns" and then "La Louisiane" and so forth until they say uncle and call us Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns!!! Lets have fun with it. You need to be able to laugh at yourself and have fun along the way.

We had our preconstruction conference today. There indeed will be two logos placed on the tank. One academic and the other athletic. The athletic logo will face Cajun Field the academic logo will face to the Bertrand drive/Johnston Street intersection. Lafayette will be on the academic logo but we will place it low enough so that the cat walk had rail will cover it to a degree.

They will not start for at least another 2 or 3 weeks so it looks like ANOTHER winter time paint project. Sigh
