As a University, I want your opinion....

Here is something that really grinds my gear. Last night when I was watching the Cajuns & A&M game they had a school advertisement for LSU. I understand that LSU paid for the advertisement, but dont you think that it would of been a great time/ idea to show ours. I know we have one that is out dated because i have seen it before. Every university worth a poo has one, so why on earth do we not pay for the ad and show it during times like these. It made me very mad when i saw that LSU was promoting there school during our game. I wanted to vomit. And thats what really grinds my gears!

That's pretty aggravating. Are you sure that we didn't air a commercial? If we didn't, hopefully, the new administration, whenever it gets installed, will hold the marketing department accountable for such failures.

Don't get me wrong, LSU has the right to buy advertisement time during our sporting events, just as we have the right to do so during LSU sporting events. You don't hear about UL running ads during LSU games though, yet another failure.

Being that UL has several commercials already made, there should have at least been one UL commercial aired during the game. In situations where UL athletics are televised statewide or to broader audiences, UL needs to advertise, with no exception.

Athletic success can create a buzz. But couple that success with intelligent, informative advertising, and the people that decide to "see what all the buzz is about" also get informed about UL, the city of Lafayette, and the direction in which both are heading; which can have nothing but a positive effect.

Here's to more success and more advertising!

This goes back to what i was talking about. Sure we have a commercial, but it's not being played during important times to take advatage of all the folks watching. And, if it was to air, then they would see something that looks like it was done for about $.50, just before or after an LSU commercial that probably looked outstanding.

I know we are strapped for funds in some places, but at some point, especially with marketing and such, we have to say screw it, and spend some money. you can't make it without spending it properly first, and to me, they are just wasting it right now. Spend a little more in order to do the work, or et the work done right, and it will go a hell of a lot farther.

By the way, I'll be drinking to that toast (Here's to more success and advertising) at Pete's while I watch the Cajuns whip some Aggie butt and advance to a super regional.

We see eye to eye on this subject.

From the Cox website:

Cox Sports Television, the exclusive regional sports network home of the NBA's New Orleans Hornets, NFL's New Orleans Saints and national college power LSU Tigers,


Could this explain why lsu commericals are played during the Cajuns game.

I'm thinking LSU has paid for a certain amount of advertisement or sponsorship and they just spread them throughout whatever is being broadcast, w/o any intent to specifically advertise duing a Cajun game.

It is her mission in life to be sure that every notice, piece of apparel, and any objects we have are tagged with lafayette. _

Well, while I am not a fan of the "pepper" because I personally feel UL deserves a more noble mascot, Ms. J. Dronet may not have much of a choice in "tatooing" everything that represents UL followed with the name Lafayette.

Because the official "registered" name of UL has the moniker Lafayette attached to it, it is protected by copyright laws. Those "laws" are policed and protected by the College Licensing board. It is designed such that everytime someone purchases or uses anything representing the university that the "official" logo and name on it allows money to flow back to the university.

Like it or not, it is also designed to protect your name, logos, and licensing from anyone that chooses to infringe on it. McNeese was threatened with legal action a few years back by the University of Wyoming for an infringement on THEIR bucking horse logo. That is why today McNeese's official logo is the "Horse and Rider" in the up position with the superimposed "M". We make money every time it's sold and the logo is protected.
