    I figured that works as well. Just wasn't sure. No biggie.

    The guy who posted it over there doesn't have Mathenis following him around like a little puppy.... yet. It is coming though. I gotta say, I love how a couple of ULM guys are saying that they are fine with "Louisiana"; we just can't say UL. LOL

Fortunately, I am sure Coach Hud and the team are not worried about this issue, but are zeroed in on what it takes to defeat the Red Wolves. That should also be where we as a a fanbase should put our energy for the next few hours.
    I want to WIN the game tonight & be called LOUISIANA, at the same time. Whoa!

    I sent the following to Tim Buckley regarding one part of his article that wasn't exactly clear.

    "Appreciate your article about the UL name issue. One minor point of clarification for your story. The University of Louisiana at Monroe has made it clear that they wish to brand themselves athletically as "ULM". They do not like UL Monroe or Louisiana-Monroe. The administration and fans of the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns have never objected to their desired branding. In fact we welcome it. We at UL just wish they would allow us the same right to control our own branding rather than try to dictate what they think others should call UL.


    Thanks again,"

    No way ESPN gets themselves in that trap. They are now and forever ULM.

    The Woe Hoax made their bed, first, when they had to be dragged kicking and screaming into changing their name from Northeast Louisiana and second, when they went for the ULM label. Now they have to lie in it.

    That's definitely the whole point of "Louisiana" as an unofficial athletic branding moniker.

    I'm sick of these announcers butchering and getting tongue-tied over "Louisiana-Lafayette."

    ULM branding is brilliant actually.

    It is a shame some there would rather cut off their nose.

    Well, I agree.

    The University of California at Los Angeles seems fine with their moniker "UCLA" and doesn't _____ at The University of California at Berkeley for being called "California" or "Cal."

    UCLA flows as does ULM. Unlike ULL and UCB
