The more they complain. the more we are LOUISIANA.

If it's legal its legal, you can't go to far in asking someone to call you by a prefered nickname.
Asking someone to call you "Louisiana" is no different than asking someone to call you "Ragin' Cajuns"
I do agree though, "UL Lafayette" does go too far.
This is all Kabuki theater prompted by a small minded hack beat writer. If ULM were serious, they wouldn't have been this noisy about it. They'd have gone to work quietly behind the scenes. They have no game plan. AND if they were foolish enough to fight us, they will know they will never again be able to count on our vote for anything.
Truth.
un freaking believable.love to be inside Martin Hall this morning
Gannett lacks stories, so they spread local stories across America.
Fossil should realize a reporter always has a story they want to present, and the questions will always direct you to the answer they want. We conservatives have seen this for decades on sixty minutes where most of the interview is left on the cutting room floor and what is left is spliced together to create a story they want right or wrong.
IMO the Fossil was set up. A willing dupe. He should simply walk around and accept the kind words being bestowed on him instead of inserting himself into a contrived controversy.
The last I heard ESPN has not issued anything about UL trying to bully them.We hear plenty from Tabby Sonnier. So glad she has our best interest at heart, or that ba$tard Thompson, the original back stabbing tool of the Evil Empire.
You are right Policarp, the state is known for the City of New Orleans, Cajuns, and Mardi Gras in that order. I am pretty sure the last two switched in the eighties when Cajun Cooking became the rage.from Louisiana Oh sheit there we go again association of the Ragin, Cajuns, and Louisiana, there must be a law somewhere protecting Baton Rouge, RustOn,MoanRow, and Bossier City.
Suck on it Hoax, nobody in America gives a good G Damn about your city, or region as it is no different or unique from any other red neck city in the South.
Got a bad feeling this thing is not going to work out well for the good guys.
We are the only University in the State where some of our own local town folk and others completely undermine what we do.I swear.this is so depressing
I'm not a fan of RA, but the whole title of the article is BS. In the article, RA said:
But if the university is telling reporters to call the team Louisiana, it needs to be careful, he cautioned.
“I think we should be the University of Louisiana. Period,” Authement said Wednesday.
Short of that, Authement said he thinks the sports teams can use Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns without breaking the law.
“That doesn’t violate anything. That’s what we used on our athletic teams,” he said. “Some people drifted to the Louisiana.”
They will be hearing "Another LOUISIANA First Down!" quite alot in Cajun Field Nov. 30.
It is a sad day when a fan base of another university tries to pull down another university because of paranoia. It is ironic when LTUR was doing all it could do for "separation" from everyone else in Louisiana, and we were stuck in the mud, they saw it as a university trying to better itself. Yet, now that the tables are turned and they are the ones that are stuck in the mud, someone that shouldn't have a dog in the fight is concentrating and focusing all of their energy to drag us back instead of trying to fix their own problems and lift themselves up. When will they realize that if more universities better themselves, it will have a more positive affect than trying to drag another down? A friend of mine at work, who is a huge LSU fan, loves the idea of UL tring to push to be better athletically. He believes that a better UL is better for the state. He believes that if they don't go to LSU, they should go to UL. More is better. He wants the better recruits to stay in the state. If something does come of this, it just goes to show you how petty and vindictive other universities and parts of the LA Leg. are when you can't even call yourself by your nickname. Then, if that's the case, then our local media and PA announcer at the games should always use their legal and proper name when they are addressed. No nicknames allowed or abbreviated versions. Ok, I'm now done venting and being petty. lol.
