I'm of the small faction that believes our president did not spend his lifetime working towards just being the president of our university. He won't do anything politically to hurt UL, but at some point when it comes to the name, it will be lead, follow or get out the way. And I feel T-Joe did not spend a life time to follow or get out the way.
It will all depend on the timing. For example, after Johnny Football drops a deuce in the Tiger's punchbowl tomorrow night, they will have their panties in a wad and have a need to dominate someone in some form. What better way than slam UL on the name change to inflate their ego. Timing...possibly lousy next week. If the hoax had not fell apart earlier AND we got traction on the UL name, you know TNS was holding that story out for this week coming. But again, timing.
I have faith we will get the name UL accepted, just it isn't a snap your fingers and "poof" it happens situation.
