We've made progress. That's why there is all this whining from the Lilliputians. As for how long we should keep up the fight? Until it's won. Anything worth having is worth waiting for. It's also worth fighting for. You keep making allusions to trench warfare. You're tight. That's exactly east it us. If you don't have the stomach for it get the ____ out of the trench. But if you really want it unsheathe your knuckle duster and get in the mud with the rest of us.
correct me if I'm wrong, but if ULM doesn't compromise with us, couldn't we just say that fine, we will change to UofA (University of Acadiana). By us doing so, would it force ULM to change to something as well due to there is no other UL_?
Dude, you forget that I was one of the very first people to tweet the announcers. Look it up, it's on the internet for all to see. I just asked you and others not to bombard them with a-hole comments once we learned the decision to use Louisiana-Lafayette wasn't theirs. Quit making **** up about me.
We just started the most important component of securing the political and financial authority necessary to support our athletic name branding and much much more. Our new president and new football coach are not 14 years into this effort. And each year that they've been here, we are gaining enormous ground. The flaw in your WWII analogy is that we are not suffering bloodshed and lost lives in "this war". We are only suffering aggravation. We can weather this storm.
There is no need whatsoever to stop the fight. Some considerable collateral will come our way in the next few years that will enormously add to our elevated identity. We've had some people with tunnel vision and weak hearts get on here and act as if our name mauling is the worst atrocity since the Holocaust. We still do absolutely everything that matters the exact same way. We simply have this name issue. And again... once our power increases in proportion with our upcoming accomplishments... there is little that these jealous neophites can do about it.
Just hang in there and keep your chin up. But do not start drafting peace treaties with compromises. We have no reason to compromise with anyone.
I also pointed out the double standard of the TP....not having anything about our win last night in their sports section, but we make headline news with the name thing.
What is so amazing to me is how all these people and universities across the state say they don't care what we want to call ourselves, yet can't stop trying to get us to call ourselves what they want us to.
They protest too much for them not to be worried.
GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!
I'm not making anything up about you. You are creating your own image of yourself here and it's one of surrender, IMO. You interpreted that someone was holding a gun to their head despite the fact that Davis gave ever changing excuses for his actions including "the conference made me do it", " Monroe made me do it" and "my boss makes me do it". When pressed, the conference released a statement saying they don't care what he calls us. Suddenly all the excuses evaporate and he uses Louisiana. Bombarding them and the conference sure seemed have the desired effect in a hurry. I think had we followed your admonition we would have heard a bunch of Lafayettes and ULLs last night.
