Let The Political Correctness Begin

[USL1970]

This could be an interesting game beyond the field of competition.

Sometimes the visiting president is a guess of the home president, and if the fans are stirring the pot, it could make for interesting conversation between the university leaders.

All the off the field stuff originates from Moanroe and their newspaper's reporter. If the Monroe President now has a problem, he should complain to her first.

That said, again, I think we will learn ALOT about President Joseph Savoie Saturday.

PA: "That's another, first down!"
Crowd: "LOUISIANA!"

[CajunRebel]

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.

Why is does it matter? Will putting Louisiana on the scoreboard instead of Cajuns on Saturday really help us win the name battle? Of course not. Quit being so petty and focus on the big picture.

I like it better the way it's done now.

And the big picture is what exactly?

The big picture is this:

If we wanna be respected and called Louisiana, grow a sack and say we ain't changing ______, regardless of who is in town playing at Cajun Field! If we do it one way for the other 4 home games, man up and stand your ground.

I normally could careless about who calls us what, but if our own administration can't stand their own ground, we're done name wise.

[CajunRebel]

Look, I'm not hard up on the name issue as others on here. I'll just simply refuse to engage with someone who refers to us as ULaLa or Lafayette college.

However, I DO think it is important, if we are serious about the Louisiana Ragin Cajun branding for athletics, that our administration not misplace its testicles on the announcing of a "Louisiana First Down" and other areas where we would otherwise use the branding of "Louisiana" on Game Day.

I completely agree. But I think anyone who pays any kind of attention to what's been going on can see that Reinhardt Dr. has do e about all they can do to plaster everything with Louisiana. It's on the stadium, it's on the scoreboard, it's on the jerseys, it comes out through the pa system, it's in the press releases, etc.

[Hammer58]

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.

No, what is unbelievably petty is UL-Monroe and their president deciding what we should be called especially considering all of the problems they have. What's unbelievably timorous is our President kowtowing to those clowns and directing his staff to refrain from using "Louisiana" in our home stadium especially after publicly stating that is our preferred brand. Finally what is worse, but not surprising, is your contemptibly pusillanimous reaction and recommendation.

And that's all were are asking, that they do everything they can which includes using "Louisiana" on the scoreboard and over the PA at our stadium for this and every other game. If they don't and cave into Bruno then they are not doing, as you suggest, all that they can.

SUCK IT, HOAX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigearl]

If Dr.S doesn't grow a sack and stand firm on the use of Louisiana I can guarantee you Benson will see it as acquiescence to Bruno and will continue to disregard our request to be referred to as Louisiana. Benson will not stand up and tell Bruno To Please. In recent correspondence with him Benson regurgitated one lame excuse after another. When I continued to challenge him he said there was nothing he could do and we should take it up with Dr. Savoie. That means he wants T-Joe to make the stand against Bruno before the conference will do anything.

The fall us in T-Joe's court.

Someone tell me why in holy ______ should anyone at UL should give one single ______ about what Benson or the SuckBelt wants?

[CajunEXPRESS]

IMO, T Joe and the university feel they have been handed a significant public relations defeat in the name issue. They have retreated, and are not interested in fighting for the name at this time.

The university IMO has done what nobody else could do, get Cajun fans to start to abandon the fight. Much like the South not invading Washington DC early in the war when they had a great opportunity to end the war with a victory. UL @ Lafayette has folded.

From this day forward I will no longer correct the general public when they give us the old UL L, or Lafayette.

You know if the Louisiana attorney general found us to be in conflict with Louisiana law our retreat might be strategy to avoid a court date, instead we simply folded.
