2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[BirdofParadise]

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"

I'll leave that to you and your buddies.

Tabby and I have an agreement we don't talk about the name issue.

My admiration for Tabby and how she's handled her health issues surpasses even the name issue.

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."

I bet he is McNeese graduate with season tickets at LSU!!!

What did Kyle have to say?

Hey basically said "UL is right. And he admonished the AD for not getting face time and pushing the issue." That's my Cliff Notes version

[HelmutVII]

What did Kyle have to say?

All kinds of stuff too numerous to mention but I could see the veins in his neck bulging out over the radio.

So her health issues give her a pass on this? That's bull____, Jay. The two or not related.

Kyle said that the football success will help us become the University of Louisiana. Foote's main point is that the effort to drop the city tag is simply us trying to better ourselves and improve our brand. It is just like when Tech went to the WAC as they believed this would help them. He understands ULM trying to stop us as they believe that helps them better themselves. Finally, he cannot understand why folks fromother schools like LSU even care about this as it does not affect them. Lots of emotion but not much new being said.

[Cajunrunner]

I agree with Kyle and Foote. Normally I agree with Kyle. Foote...seems like a nice guy, but his constant negative outlooks makes it not possible to listen long enough to determine if I usually agree with him or not.

New article today in the Shreveport Times written by the Queen B herself....

ULL practice of dropping 'Lafayette' violates state law

Yeah, pretty much this.

But it was the emotion that got me.

The Advertiser has historically been pretty non-existent and even useless when it comes to the Cajusn.

To hear Foote, who has been pretty detached from the program, go off like he did was really refreshing.

His argument was pretty matter-of-fact and the only rebuttal to it can be "I don't care what the facts are, SLI should know its place."

You have to give somebody his props when its due.

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??

There is no penalty written into the law

Happy Friday Eve guys....Congrats on a great season thus far. Cajuns lookin salty! This name change ____ is getting out of hand. This wouldn't be an issue if the powers at be in the 90's had just left the USL name alone. What was the reason for the change along w/ Northeast? Y'all should just change back to USL & call yourselves the U of South Louisiana. Sounds great, no confusing double names.

[cajunwarhawks23]

Listening to Foote on KPEL in a MAJOR rant about the name issue. He's basically telling ULM that they SHOULD be fighting us on the name. The BIG thing that burns me up is he's stated that ALL the _____ has been coming from Monroe and has YET to acknowledge that HIS paper is fueling the fire AGAINST us!!! >

I just wish that he would talk more about the skull dragging that the cajuns just put on instead of this...and ULM should be talking about trying to right the ship and get to .500...this is getting to be a crazy issue thats taking up a lot of attention
