La Louisiane morphing into "at Lafayette" Magazine

[HoustonCajun]

There was no law.

In fact the Judge reversed logic on the issue when he said "no law says you can" he omitted a usually stronger logic 'no law says you can't.'

Then, why was our name changed and not LA Tech's or UNO's?

Sorry but I'm not a fan of the copying Alabama's logo idea

Hot Wheels has got to go but I don't dig the fan-made one, sorry to hurt anyone's feelings

Just use the Ragin over Cajuns logo until we step up and rebrand ourselves properly

Because court cases are never about justice.

Because theirs was a done deal and no one challenged them (rightfully so) and even though a law was passed subsequently that was for all intents and purposes a retroactive stamp. They were not and could not be brought into the suit.

If he hadn't manually connected it with Alabama's I would not have connected it on my own.

For that reason I endorse his design.

The design is almost identical to what we have now. It is just simplified with red and white and black trim, eliminating the yellow and organge colors. Because of that, it looks like Alabama's. The only thing I would change is to make the Louisiana larger than Ragin Cajuns, like Alabama has done. To use only the Ragin Cajuns logo does not identify our university. Our nickname needs to be tied to the university and we need to promote the Louisiana name with it.

[HoustonCajun]

Y'all are way too sensitive about this "Name" thing. It was a mistake to change name from USL back in the 90's.

The official name of Tech is Louisiana Tech University at Ruston. How would you feel if you had to start calling your university LTUR or LA Tech Ruston? I suspect your alumni would not be too pleased and would fight it to the point of ignoring it, which is what you do now.

[jllanclos]

Yes.

Only, not just L, but we should say "Louisiana" at ALL times when talking about our university.

We need to stop using UL. By using that, we give our enemies an opening to refute us with the law.

Like someone said in an earlier post, UC Berkeley fans understood this. They just use California, or Cal for short reference.


LOUISIANA is the brand.

"We are LOUISIANA" is the message.



I just had a great idea for a T-Shirt.

"We are LOUISIANA" on the front.

"Forget U" on the back.

If everyone does this in their everyday conversations, this issue will eventually fade.

I say "Louisiana" every chance I get to everyone I'm talking to. Many of my friends have started calling our university "Louisiana," even though they hate us. (Then why are we friends? Excellent question).

Stop saying UL. Stop saying "the Cajuns" when you talk to people. Just say "Louisiana" as easily as they say "LSU" or "Houston" or whatever.

That's really all that needs to be done to win this battle.

You are wrong, their name is Louisiana Tech University. Boomer started the At Ruston. You will not find at Ruston on the LTU website, nor the ULS website. If fact only schools name University of Louisiana must have the city tag. Not needed at Brokeback U, SLU, UNO, Nichols, Northwestern, or Grambling

---C-EX I would have to find it but on a list of the UL system schools it was as I stated it with the At Ruston!!! I do see a newer list where the Ruston is left off of the designation!!!

[CajunEXPRESS]

No, its not, I recall the list you are thinking of, and it was not what you think it was. It was about rules which included potential name changes and the use of the city tags.

In any case it is WHAT it IS today. No amount of saying it ain't so is changing that.
