_ When was the band called the Ragin Band from Cajun Land? It wasn't always called the Pride of Acadiana. The name of the band should reflect the university. We are the University of Louisiana not Acadiana. We are trying to get away from the regional connection to either Southwest Louisiana or Acadiana. We are all proud to be living (or to have lived) in the Acadiana and Lafayette area. We don't want the Lafayette connected to UL, yet we live in Lafayette. Why would we want the Acadiana connected to us? We are supposed to be the University of Louisiana, representative of the whole state of Louisiana. Otherwise, why not call us Louisiana Lafayette, it is where we are located. Let's not continue to further regionalize UL with the Acadiana band reference. It makes no sense to continue something that we have fought so hard to rid ourselves of. _

The Band was called the "Ragin' Band From Cajun Land" by the doofus director that was hired to replace Jim Goodman back in the early 1990's. NOBODY liked that name and I would do ANYTHING necessary to STOP it from coming back!!! You need to drop this issue NOW. WE ARE THE "PRIDE OF ACADIANA" FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA, PERIOD!!!

_ Actually, it started earlier than that. 1984 was when, for a brief time, we officially attained the name "University of Louisiana" (w/o the city tag).

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but that IS what I meant. I also like TURBINE'S idea of Louisiana's Pride of Acadiana Marching Band.

Hey CB, any chance you might get to run that by BT sometime this week??

I thought Z declared a moratorium on this kind of talk....

 MANHATTAN, Kan. - UL quarterback Mike Desormeaux walked slowly toward the locker room at Kansas State's Bill Snyder Memorial Stadium, his nose still dripping with blood from a hit in the third quarter.

K-State's reputation also took a hit on Saturday after the Big 12 member barely survived a couple of big punches from the Ragin' Cajuns.

The Wildcats almost blew a 25-point lead but managed to hold off a furious UL rally in the second half to avoid the upset at home, 45-37, as quarterback Josh Freeman accounted for five touchdowns and became the program's career passing leader.

After the game, a group of about 100 K-State fans lined the path leading to the visitor's locker room. They congratulated the Cajuns (1-3) on their effort and even reached out to clap their hands to offer encouragement.

The crowd's respect for UL was palpable.
