2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[douglas]

wow, im stunned James would have this attitude. I've spoken to him several times and his attitude has always been pro UL and he is EXTREMELY aware of the opposition and is very outspoken against LSU and all other universities attempts to derails ul's achievements. I had to water down his commentary for the doc somewhat even. Wonder wtf is up with that?

I was wondering why they have not interviewed Dr. Savoie yet. It would seem to me that he would be the go to person in this situation.

I would love it if reporters had to include the phrasing if their questions in the footnote of their articles. A footnote link would even be nice. "These were the questions asked."

According to The Daily Adverstiser, A Gannet Newspaper @ Lafayette, Louisiana, they have attempted to contact him for his side, but he has "refused" to comment.

I know Mr. Callier, and his "attitude" toward the university is exemplar.

The issue with his comments may have more to do with his personal "ethics" than his "attitude."

He apparently believes that what he said is true since he helped draft and implement the policy, and he will not sacrifice his personal integrity by creating an untruth (at least to him).

Hopefully, Dr. Savoie will navigate through the problem that Dr. Authement created with the compromise 14 years ago, and the results will be favorable for the university and athletics.

I hope we hear from Dr. Savoie soon.

Claire Taylor just doesn't get it. In my last e-mail to her I pointed out that their error reinforced our argument for using Louisiana to avoid being mistakenly called things like "University of Lafayette". Completely ignoring that she simply replied:

"An editor rewrote the first paragraph and inadvertently made the error."

Its a fake story, nothing to be interviewed about.

After the way they treated Dr. A I can't say I blame him.

[Yep]

Why don't they contact/interview our SID? He's the one with official answers.

After a false headline earlier in the week (admitted) and the ever present nature of the topic this week and the miopic focus of her story, inadvertant is impossible.

I still can't believe they used UL Lafayette in the headline.

Here is Claire's lame response to my e-mail this morning and my subsequent retort. She just doesn't seem to get it.

It was simply an error. You should be able to see how many references to "university of" are in that story. We should have edited better.

My response:

It's would seem that getting the name of your alma mater wrong in a story specifically about a controversy surrounding the name can't be dismissed as a simple error. In fact, that "simple error" highlights the reason we want to be referred to as Louisiana and UL especially for athletics. Those "simple errors" has resulted in ESPN and other media outlets repeatedly using the logo and mascot of Lafayette College in Easton, PA when referring to the Cajuns.

I also e-mailed T-Joe pointing out this article, it's inaccuracies with the name as well as the comments from former UL officials who are not helping the cause. I urged him to respond to offset these comments from old fossils like Callier whose time has passed them by.

Hammer you should have looked after you Rigs better... one just blew up killing 12 people.. We know it was a simple error...try to do better next time...

sheesh...

A foreman rewrote my job procedure before executing the work and inadvertently left out the paragraph about not blowing up the rig.
