2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[Hammer58]

They also have at least 2 in the BR area that I know of.

Can you get a photo to send to Claire Taylor and Chris Cox? It would help to further destroy Tabby's credibility, as well as that of all the other haters, in case they do any further reporting on this issue.

[Hammer58]

Sure, whatever....but y'all don't actually go by UL- Laffy for academics either. Last time I was down enjoying the best PoBoy on the planet, I noticed that the gates say University of Louisiana...no Lafayette. It looked liked there was a space for that but only small holes.

What's the matter, your GPS broken? You forgot where you were and needed those gates to clue you in? Just the fact that you had a decent po-boy, could buy a real beer and drink it in public without some holy roller giving you the stink eye should have made it obvious you weren't in Ruston.

We didn't bring this up and "rub it in anyone's face". We just tried to correct a sportscaster who uses acronyms the University doesn't want. If we don't do that we will continue to be pelted with the 3 letter curse as well as being referred to as "Lafayette". And you can bet your bottom dollar that left unchallenged that would have caught on and we would be known as "Lafayette".
Correcting a sportscaster is how all this craziness started. For sports, Louisiana Ragin Cajuns". There is only one place in the world where these people can be found. That is me and you. All else, get your name.
That's exactly how this craziness started. "Louisiana, Ragin Cajuns". 3 words. That is all we asked to be called or any combination there of, for athletic event.

Again, we didn't start this local ____ing contest. Tabby and the Waaaaaahhhhhhoax, egged on by Nechsters, started this crap.

Well Tabby, I know you read this so takes notes you second rate irrelevant blow hard. First, you take the time to chastise us for breaking the law? Why don't you use your so called "journalist savvy" to expose the atrocities occurring in your own backyard? Your ulm could not feed YOUR team in between semesters for the only bowl ya ll will ever play in Period. Secondly, why don't you call out your local community for not supporting THEIR university by attending games and donations. Thirdly, ulm's in a financial crisis and they cant even afford to division 1 status. Why not call out the university for failed attempts at D1 when ya ll can save money by joining the southland conference? IS EDUCATIONAL MERITS even a concern for you? Think of the money ulm could divert to ACADEMICS , which as everyone knows, is ranked pathetically . I can see why Tech wants nothing to do with yall as ulm is an embarrassment to all higher education. CONGRATS ON BEING A WRITER FOR SOMETHING SO SAD and irrelevant. Keep up with your "dont let the facts get in the way of a good story". P.S. I hope HUD goes for 2 points with a 60 point lead.

Teck doesn't realize just how bad their situation is. But their antennae are obviously twitching.

They're looking at athletics and feeling nervous. They should be looking at academics, research, campus development, donations, politics, and enrollment.

Whether Hud stays or not, whether athletics succeeds or not, over the next five years UL is going to leave Teck so far in our rearview mirror they'll never catch up.

You're hilarious......please tell just how bad Tech's situation is. It's ok to talk Sh$t, we all do, but let's hear some facts.

[ZoomZoom]

I know for a fact the brass letters were put back at least 5 times, and probably had to be special ordered each time.

They must have gone through the brass letter budget.

If anyone looks at the gates, here in Lafayette, Louisiana, no need to tell them they are in Lafayette. Total waste of money. I just don't get it when the talking media heads, located in Lafayette, use ULL or add the Lafayette. I'm not stupid, I know where I live.

[BayouRichard]

My guess is most of you will like this.

My guess is you'll be the only ones LOL

Caught the first 15 min of your show. Agree 100% of everything you said. Congrats on being the first person to call us Louisisna for an athletic contest. Memorable moment that will be recorded in our history. This whole craziness started because a Bristol sportscaster could not call us be our athletic name, Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. Thus is the only place in the world where you can find Cajuns (except those that are relocated).

[RCAJUN90]

Great piece. ULM often pretends to be a victim when they did their best to be known simply as Louisiana and failed.

Bravo jay, a great example of simple fact based writing

Jindal has been a big disappointment. His saving grace was that on Election Day he did look like a conservative in comparison to his democrat opponent.

you are so right on! and one more time, we fall for style over substance.
