2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[Cajun Monkee]

Foote absolutely going off on the whole UL/Louisiana branding.

He is questioning the motives of people (Other the UL supporters) involving themselves in the argument.

And Kyle is about to join in on the fun.

The next hour should be entertaining.

He HASN'T acknowledged the _____ that HIS paper is doing!!

[CajunNation]

2 things.

First, we have no local DA paper anymore in Acadiana. To have that, we need local ownership.


Secondly, Gannet is trying to get us to swing at a pitch in the dirt. Just ignore them and keep kicking tail on all fronts.

If this fight goes to the legislature level again I hope T-Joe brings Hell with him. Our battle cry will be 1984 !!!!!!!!!

[CajunJack55]

Here is my question and this may have been covered in the other bazillion threads regarding our name...If it is illigal for us to use UL or University of Louisiana, what is the penalty or violation?? Is it a monitary fine? Will T-Joe be thrown in jail? Will we lose scholorships or bowl games? Will the university get a cease and disist?? NOV's??? Death Penalty?? House arrest? Community service?? Dunce caps??

I kid obviously but seriously does anyone know??

[Cajunrunner]

Going to need a good run-down of Foote's show for those of us unable to listen, as well as Kyle's input on the matter.

Thanks in advance.

Someone PLEASE call in and question him on the Decker editorial!!!

[ImperialCajun]

I think that we are not pointing out the most important thing. The article read like it was written by a sixth grader, for the school paper. If you want to do a true editorial then tell the whole story. The story of how we followed the rules and changed our name and how the chicken-____s out east said "Oh ____!" "Somebody else wants to grow their University!" AND, if they want to be correct then only use our name " The University of Louisiana at Lafayette". If you want to use anything else then ask us AND use what we tell you to use. If I remember correctly, They started all that "Flagship Bull____eee!" after they saw that another University wanted to grow. Who is really responsible for all of this? And where is the editorial on those facts?
Please correct me if I am wrong?

Man you should have heard Kyle. He went off. It has calmed down a bit now. I think this is going to get very entertaining.

I only caught part of it, I was listening to Hud on Brando.
The guy that was on after Kyle says, phrasing here, at least when we were USL everyone knew our name. That is not true Sports Illustrated kept calling us Southwest Louisiana. He also claimed MickyNesse would bring more fans than Southern.

[CajunJack55]

These callers are idiots. "Be content with what you got" "we will never be LSU" "so terrible for so long" This is typical ideology of Mcneese, ULM, Nicholls, SLU, etc..

[Hammer58]

Had the obligatory "I graduated from USL and wished we had kept that. Now they call us three or four names." He forgets all the Southwest Louisiana, SWLa, etc. Of course he really lost credibility with his follow up question "When will we play mcneese again? I wish we played every year."

[Cajunrunner]

What did Kyle have to say?
