Couldn't get enough of these guys on Tuesday? You're in luck. Buckley just tweeted they will be the crew calling the ASU game. I wonder if they'll be homers for the red wolves like they were for the blood clots. "One can only hope..."

[Trigger74]

Louisiana Lafayette us to death. Some of the earlier games were all UL or Louisiana. Why can't ESPN get the message?

[CajunDreDog]

ESPN doesn't want to hear the message. They don't give a flying ____ as to what we are called, want to be called, etc.

I'm sure another school in BR is also telling them what to do.

ESPN runs college football now. They have SO MUCH power!!!

[zephyr]

I care about the name deal but honestly, as long as we're whipping ___ on TV and building our brand there along with building the "Ragin Cajun" brand, I'm not going to sit up at night and worry about the dreaded 3 letter word

Joe Davis has a twitter account: JoeDavisESPN
I just sent him a tweet to inform him how to properly refer to is as Louisiana or Ragin' Cajuns. I suggest everyone else do the same

[STLMOCAJUN]

He just replied and said his bosses ordered them not to call us Louisiana

[STLMOCAJUN]

He said ULMoanroe has issue with it

[CrazyCajun]

He just replied and said his bosses ordered them not to call us Louisiana

Then tell him to cAll us the ragin cajuns

[Hammer58]

He said ULMoanroe has issue with it

Tell him we have a problem with moanroe calling themselves a D1A program but just as we don't get a say in that they don't get a say in what we are called.

[STLMOCAJUN]

I told him fox sports had no problem. Everyone else needs to go at him.

[CrazyCajun]

I wouldn't go at him... If it's his bosses orders, it's not his fault but why would espn let Monroe tell them what to do?

[STLMOCAJUN]

That's the point I am trying to make to him. But I can't talk to his bosses so this is our only means to convey our message.

[zephyr]

I wouldn't go at him... If it's his bosses orders, it's not his fault but why would espn let Monroe tell them what to do?

The Monroe thing is somewhat aggravating. If LSU _____es, at least they are LSU and have some pull. ULM is just ULM and there is no reason they should have say as to what we are called.

[CrazyCajun]

Send him a link from the Sid explaining it, maybe he will get it to someone
