2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[Turbine]

It's also the umpteen threads on the topic this past week combined!

Which means portions of this thread have been read this many umpteen times.

“We’re not trying to change the name of the university in any shape,” Martin told NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune. He said a plan to drop “Lafayette” isn’t in the works, and was surprised at reports that said it was happening. The confusion appears ...

The rest of the story ...

I hear crickets.

More not caring going on.

Just for clarification this is an article by a Brokeback Cowboy in the Lake Chuck American a Press. To prove the Brokebacks don't care he was compelled to write a column about their not caring. These clowns are obsessed with UL and will go to their graves "not caring". And that alone makes the fight to use UL worth it.

Good then, it appears there is a lot of "not caring" going on, so apparently there is no issue.


There was never an issue, this was a non-news story created by a small time sports hack.

Dead issue.

Geaux UL!!

"In 1995, the name issue surfaced again. The late state Sen. Cecil Picard of Maurice sponsored a bill to create the University of Louisiana System to replace the Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities"

Interesting how they garnered enough votes to dismantle the Louisiana Constitutionally established "Board of Trustees" (and protected) but they can't make a dimes worth of headway on protecting educational funding?

And these same people who don't mind Louisiana being identified with Choot 'Em Swamp People, Billy the Exterminator or the Golddigger Governor's Wife and her two ugly stepdaughters (my wife just had to watch that trash last night) have a problem with the successful Ragin Cajuns athletics being associated with "Louisiana". Truly a Banana Republic.

Of course the one good thing about this article is we now have it in the written record that Lake Cuck and the Brokebacks don't care what we do.

It is important to point out to the masses that this isn't about two schools wanting the same name, but several schools trying to keep a boot on one school. It sounds like a conspiracy theory when we say it. When Mr. Briggs asks the important question of "Hey, why are you doing this when you don't want the name anyway?" the answers will provoke thought and more questions.

Identity crisis? As the largest school in the UL system we know exactly who we are no crisis here. Maybe the hack just has an acceptance crisis?

I guess that today's Headline on the parking article ends the Advertisers position on using UL----huge UL on the parking situation article---Between this action and the continued work of Buckley I am a HUGE DA fan---Keep up the good work and well ooooopppssss---What about Decker???

Turbine, can you rig it where if anybody starts ANOTHER name thread they recieve a small electrical shock from their mouse?

How I long for a uniform, band, restroom, or HUD thread......

[CajunEXPRESS]

Well the answer is simple the same one they always have. So YOU cannot have it. YOU are not the flagship. Bla, bla, bla,

I would guess between J1M, Hawk, Hammer, Zee , and myself we could get them sidelined.

Prolly pretty efficiently I mite add .

Just sayin'

He has no problem with it. Says we've been marketing ourselves like this since day one. Can't understand the problem. If they want to be called Louisiana or UL, call them that. LSU is the flagship and will always be.
