2014 Branding Fiasco: UL-Lafayette or UL-L (SBC Reference Guide)

[Zeebart21]

How were we referred to tonite at the game? Did our own announcer courtside UL-L us to death?

Anyone have T-Joe's university email? Time to write him my opinion of the Hyphen!

[AstroCajun]

I'm exhausted. I'm going to step away from this place for a while.

A self imposed ban might do me some good.

I come back by when someone in Martin Hall shows me they give a ____.

I'm all out of ____s to give.

Peace.

Exactly, we will call ourselves UL/Louisiana. TV Networks, and everyone else will call us UL-L.

They will call us Lafayette more and more. As a Turbine has correctly stated numerous times when you see UL-Lafayette the UL fades from the consciousness while the Lafayette stands out and becomes ingrained.

This truly may stop people from going to games. Some people - more than a few - are more interested about wanting to achieve the Louisiana name than they are about the results of any game or going to any. They will do this to send a message to the administration. I know that may not be fair to the student athletes who represent the university but that is truly the way it is. No matter what the administration says fans will let businesses know that UL-L is not acceptable. In fact that sentiment will be stronger than ever and woe to any business that does not recognize that to be the case. In fact, apparel with any hyphen or Lafayette designation will be harder than ever to sell. CajunWarhawk probably does not understand how passionate Cajun people are when they set their mind to something. We decide what to call ourselves, not the Sun Belt office or the administration who made a decision based upon political pressure.

Maybe there is some intent behind this to mobilize the fan base. I'm not saying there is no political pressure, but this is an opportunity for Cajun fans to express their feelings.

The small graphics were ULL and the large representation was UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns. They hadn't programmed the hyphen into their graphics program....yet.

President@Louisiana.edu

How's that for irony?

[cajunwarhawks23]

Go ____ yourself. I don't need your ____ing ___ to tell me what to be proud of. It's not about support. It's about whiney assed obstructionism from small time jealous _____es who didn't have the balls to try to do it themselves not wanting anyone else to not only not try but actually succeed.

And it's perspective you ignorant ____ing Hoax not prospective.

Meltdown...yikes...I don't get the jealousy thing though...it was bound to slowly fail...I'm sure no one that is a ULM or any other college football fan would want the embarrassment of the "name issue" failing regionally and nationally.....my oh my how things have changed suddenly...check out the comments on this...the fair weather fans are dropping the rope...

So when we refer to our university verbally now do we say hyphen or dash or do we just pause a second between L's?
