2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[Hammer58]

See above.

I don't want us to be called the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Something needs to change. We don't have to bow down to ULM, we just have to come up with a solution that they can live with so we can peruse our own goals.

Our goal is "Louisiana". That is the solution they need to live with. Surrendering or giving up (just as you suggested with the ESPN announcers) will not achieve that solution.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is not attempting to drop "Lafayette" from its name, school officials said Wednesday, adding media reports criticizing a long-used nickname on the athletics side were a total surprise. Aaron Martin, UL-Lafayette ...

The fight we're fighting now is like trench warfare was in WWI. Sure we're winning battles here and there but in 14 years, YES ITS BEEN FOURTEEN FREAKIN YEARS, we are really not much closer to our goal then we were when we started. We've moved the battle lines 3 or 4 miles but we've got to move them hundreds of miles to win the war.

It's time to think about changing strategies because I seriously doubt we'll ever win the war doing the same thing we've been doing for the past 14 years.

You keep posting about changing strategies and something has to change...what would you suggest?

I think he wants to give them Alsace Lorraine and Czechoslovakia. That will ensure world peace. Guaranteed!

If it wasn't Mr. Bitter on the air with Jay, it sounded like him. Now, what about the "Baseball" reference??

You can't miss Mr. Bitter. He repeats himself on every play. Has a commercial between each play. Gives out the phone numbers of each about 4-5 times. And every body is his friend at each and every establishment.....

I think they were fine considering they just had us last week before the SBC decided to man up yesterday on game day. They made an effort and I appreciate that.

Pretty good article besides the misspelling of "Rajin".

But notice the quote from Belt spokesman McElwain, he seems to be crawfishing now. He could have easily issued the we let members decide how the should be referenced. Now it's to the effect of "we're studying it".

[Hammer58]

Yes, Jay, get some rest...then call your little friend Tabby and tell her to Please.

Oh yea, and don't forget to tell her "Suck it, Hoax"
