Let The Political Correctness Begin

[fanof71]

You have to think that some of the wrong usage is in no way intentional. However, as far as the last few weeks are concerned, I think someone is pushing buttons with their own agenda. T-Joe? In every situation,No..that's a busy dude, ...In general, the name issue is on his radar...but do you really think he's up to his eyeballs in it and making deals with somebody named Bruno? If so, then I've got some ocean front property at 3500 ft elevation in the middle of the Pisgah forest to sell you, cheap.

I'd point a finger in the direction of the Communications and Marketing office. They're responsible for anything and everything that connects all the branded names etc to the outside world. They work the content for the web site, they get the news releases out, etc. Eric M. is in charge of athletics and he is a part of that office. He may even have something to do with game day management or electronic boards, etc. But anything to do with the name and how it gets out to the public begins at that office.

That somebody named Bruno is the president of UL Monroe. Talk to folks in our admin and you will hear how much Bruno and his admin, despite his public statements in the News Star, has been _____ing and moaning behind the scenes about our name. T-Joe has had to devote time to dealing with ULMonroe's bull____. You are probably right that T-Joe would rather deal with other issues but the fact is Bruno keeps stirring this pot. I've had this related to me by two UL officials as well as by Karl Benson. I do agree that the day to day grunt work needs to be done by SID and Communications & Marketing but T-Joe needs to set the tone from the top especially when dealing with Bruno and a Benson.

Yeah, I been getting a strange vibe from Martin Hall, too.. Not too sure Dr S. still has his spine or not. If political correctness is the order of the day Saturday, there will be some very unhappy customers..

We'll see what kind of raisins T-Joe has Saturday.

[Cajunrunner]

well, T Joe is of the Blanco coalition,, lets hope he does not go authement on us

I type something to that effect on this board when T-Joe was first named President and caught some flack. Be careful with those Blanco Boy accusations!

T-Joe is the president, I understand he is busy and doesnt deal with the day-to-day issues. But at the end of the day(athletically), we are either Louisiana or Louisiana-Lafayette. You can't pick and choose which day you want to be one or the other. All it takes is him to make a simple statement to his staff saying to continue using Louisiana this week. An email could take care of that in about 1 minute of his busy day.

Do you think we had certain visitors at these games? There has to be a reason we do this....I notice some teams we've used both...

Which is why there is an SID and others to handle these issues.


Hammer did you copy the SID and Farmer in said email?

I believe Dr. Savoie is very aware of the branding issue, and is likely working on it behind the scenes.

We have the most politically savy college administrator in the state rather than the traditional academic scholar with research credentials - that should be an advantage - in this instance.

Given that marketing has been somewhat of a disaster, Savoie is the sole hope of making/negotiating a deal.

Wait a minute, you say this one day after the AP poll SIMULTANEOUSLY confuses the school with Louisville and Lafayette. ?

Accurate identity begins at home.

Well that obviously matters. This doesn't. They didn't use ULL. They didn't use UL-Lafayette. They called us "Cajuns" which just so happens to be our name. Please take a step back and realize how unbelievably petty this is.

I would be fine with Cajuns too, if they have been using it all year. Can't question too much when you are being consistent. If the University is going out and trying to make nice with SBC and ULM for this game, I do have a problem with that.
