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

[BirdofParadise]

Express, I suggest you listen this afternoon. If you have a criticism for me after that, fine.

I made this chart depicting how i see things and how the misunderstanding can occur when referencing Louisiana as opposed to The University of Louisiana. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Nice chart.

I saw your source so a couple of my ideas are mute.

But check this out. Earlier this year Louisiana dumped ull.edu and yesterday Aaron Martin tries to sell ul-l.edu I'm not buying.

Nope. Didn't know it was coming. This is the first I've heard of the hyphen. I was on the air when this release came out and then had to go to the Dome.

I've been on the phone this morning. There will be a blog and discussion on the show.

Now, I don't know what good a blog will do for you since you don't want any explanations. But I've got to get something from all the parties because there are a few contradictions.

Anyway, I'm on it.

Looking very much forward to anything you can offer, I'll be listening in as well. Thanks

Yea, but there are not any ACADIANA Leopards, or anything else in the universities. We should have always been the University of Acadiana unique like our school, and nickname. We should never gotten into bed with ULM we now have ST-D. Is there a cure? I know there are tons of UA's but it rolls a lot better than ULL, UL-L, Lafayette, and the rest, plus is it is not directional.

Name: Louisiana
Abbreviation: ULA (assuming UL is out of the question)

That's all he had to say. This ain't rocket surgery.

It may require it now, lol

Good point. It is unique. However, the thing I like most about U of lafayette rather than U of Acadian a is we do not have to change the UL part and can actually use that legally.

Get over it we are UL-L... We are lala. We are not and will never be UL or Louisiana. 14 years down the drain in a 30 second article. We will never change to anything else.

[CajunAlum10]

I think ULA will lead to more mocking... we'd become ULA-LA for real. That won't go over so well.

[ULalum06]

on the scoreboard i have seen ULLaf, Laf-Lou, LA-Laf, ULL, UL, Louisiana, UL-Lou, UL-Laf.

FYI....Jay will talk about "Hyphen-Gate" on BEV this afternoon. basically said he was blindsided by the announcement yesterday, but is making phone calls and will talk about it today.

I'll need someone to recap. Radio Pup isn't available on windows phone.

[SlickRick]

What time and what station will Jay be on?

To bad ESPN 14.20 isn't on one of their FM stations. My Windows Phone doubles as a radio, it's nice for games.
