Hey, Aaron, is this your example of the a News Star "moving away" from the use of ULL?

____ that cancerous skank Tabitha.

Exactly. UL-L as proper usage has been retweeted by national sports entities. Aaron Martin's statement alone will not change that.

Read the law, Hyphens are illegal for any full blown representation of the school. They gave one single exception included the full blown representation of the name using initials.

Louisiana-Lafayette is illegal as well.

The way it is written "at" is the most important aspect of the law.

D. All uses of the name "University of Louisiana" must be followed by the word "at" and the institution's geographic location. No typographic variations within the name are permitted. The word "at" must be no less than 50% and the geographic location must not exceed 100% nor be less than 80% of the University of Louisiana name. Any institutional use of "University of Louisiana" without the "at" and geographic location is prohibited.

Is that it? Thanks. I looked at both RaginCajuns.com and at Louisiana.edu and could not find any results for a search of his name or in staff directories.

Sent him an e-mail with the link to today's News Star with The Skank's article.

Louisiana Ragin Cajuns or Louisiana is not illegal when used as a acronym for the Athletics teams of the University.

Red herring, the law has no bearing on the Sun Belt.

[CajunEXPRESS]

we are the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns

We were the "Louisiana Ragin'Cajuns", now we are UL-L. The university has doomed the name war, the infantry is being killed by friendly fire. The whole fan base are now being lampooned for the fight we threw our whole into. Not an inch did a Cajun fan give, accepting ridicule, dispersion, and hate. Now, now our university gives up the fight, and even makes things worse than ULL, or Lafayette. Hell I would rather be like Miami of Ohio, Lafayette of Louisiana than this bastardization.

Turbine we need a new icon, one that more aptly reflects our reduced status. Perhaps one with Tabby foot on a bloodied body, a sword in one hand and holding T-Joes blood dripping testicles in the other. Tabby offers them to the emperor Mike the Tiger sitting along with Mike's harem of Benson & Bruno, along with a stadium of fans, ULM, McNeese, SLU, NWST, LTU enjoying the moment showing thumbs down.
