The Vermilion's coverage

[KatiedlRTheVerm]

Hello, all!

My name is Katie de la Rosa, and I am the sports editor at The Vermilion.

I want to actively engage UL's alumni and fans with the beloved student publication, so I hope to stimulate interest and readership by posting our sports articles on this forum.

In doing so, I encourage everyone to give honest criticism, thoughts and ideas.

I am a writer, as well as the editor. I am the person to contact if you have suggestions, comments or concerns. I'd love to hear them all!

I'll start by sharing my preview for this weekend's game (http://www.thevermilion.com/tulane-p.5#.UG2jrfnuVts) and sports writer Brandon Verret's column on the student section, or lack thereof (http://www.thevermilion.com/game-att.1#.UG2kAvnuVtt)

Thanks, guys.

p.s. The sports buff in me will chime in on these forums from now on, too! I'm excited!

- Katie

No making cases for Paper Tigers validity.

I like the coverage lately. As an independent pub, there should be a cease and desist on usage of UL Lafayette, especially when talking about the Ragin’ Cajuns, since the two terms have never been used together.

I picked up my last copy at (I think) Zoe's in River Ranch. I live in Abbeville so it isn’t easy to get a copy. Glad you are online. In years gone by I used to go by Edith Dupre Library at 2am on Thursdays to pick up a copy but a few years ago they started locking the doors. Then I went to Maggie Moos but I was getting fat.
Do you know what the farthest south location to pick up a copy is?

Anyway, I know it isn’t easy keep up the good work. Geaux Louisiana!

Out with the old and in with the new -- I promote only our university.

We are required to refer to our school as "UL-Lafayette" on first reference, then "UL" throughout the rest of the article. We may also first address them as "Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns," as we often do.

I do not know, but will speak with our distributing manager and will let you know. Is there any place in particular that you'd like to see it? I will try to make that happen.

I would like for it to show up at my door step, can we make that possible Katie?

[Turbine]

Abbeville jk please

Actually any place along Johnston, Ambassador Caffery, Kaliste Saloom, or Verot School road.

It would be great if it were a place that is open 24 hours. I am in Lafayette 3 times a day but at off hours.

Thanks for the offer.

[KatiedlRTheVerm]

I will personally do it every Wednesday morning, if that is what you want, Brandon.

[KatiedlRTheVerm]

No worries! That shouldn't be a problem.

I won't pay for the DA because they do not edit their copy. "The University of Louisiana in Beautiful Lafayette" is what I would use just to screw with our name haters and it sounds great and loving. I will pay for the Verm to get it online, because I live out west. Would love to read articles on students in all sports(also band,jazz & cheer), recruiting, research by professors and students, anything that builds a possitive message. Student musicians that are in bands and where they are playing around town. Up coming lecturers (lectors, lecters), when, where & what. ( I need an editor)

Yes.

[KatiedlRTheVerm]

You don't have to pay for our online or print content! TheVermilion.com will direct you to articles and in-depth coverage on everything UL. We have a great news and feature staff that works hard to report on everything you just listed!

Fwiw, when Nick Fontenot was editor, UL was used.
