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

[HoustonCajun]

It could happen because it's regional. It doesn't threaten LSU. It doesn't ____ off all the smaller schools. We could have a name we're all proud of and use it as freely as we want to.

I agree. Aren't we all tired of fighting the name issue all these years only to lose it in the end, and like this blindside strike? I do not want to be referred to as UL-L, Louisiana-Lafayette and UL-Lafayette. Give me Acadiana and create our own identity.

But why even go there...AGAIN? It will NEVER happen! ACADIANA UNIVERSITY WILL NOT HAPPEN!

I wouldn't put it past the legislature to change the UL "law" if we request a name change to something not UL. The law as stated says you can have one university listed as UL unless there is a second school, and must contain the "at plus city designation" following the UL name. We'd change, and they'd tell ULM you can just use the UL name by yourself.

I wonder if the campus can secede from Louisiana and join Texas?

What makes all of this sad is that football just won its 3rd straight bowl game, mens and womens basketball is off to their best starts in over a decade, and baseball and softball are ranked in the top 25. We should be on cloud nine with the current success of our athletic program.

And then the university pulls this stunt. Unbelievable....

I thought you said T-Joe has Bruno in line? Sounds more like T-Joe is Bruno's biotch.

LSU, because of self-entitled snooty superiority

ULM/Tech/everyone else, because they are threatened to get left behind

Hey, leave Tech out of this. From what I understand our two admins got along well.

LOL. This isn't T-boy. He likes to post under my name every now and then. Whenever he ends the post with "Go Cajuns!," then you'll know it's him.

After reading the article in todays DA, I have come to the conclusion that we have a "UL-Gate". It sounded like the lies of the "Fast and Furious", IRS, Bengazi (sp.) and Obama Care all rolled into one......who is lying here? All boils down to one saying this is what we are going to be called...... T-Joe.........Karl Benson and associates said, "call yourself whatever you want"......that's how I read it.....

I e-mailed both and asked which one of them is lying.

I think the 1984 Case should be deemed a MISS TRIAL as LSUAMC@BR Alumni JUDGE never recused himself from a case that should have NEVER gone to TRIAL, as the VERY SAME way LSUNO changed its name is the VERY way USL was VOTED 17-1 in FAVOR to change USL to UL under THE LAW at that time!!!


Our State is the ONLY state in the UNION without a University of!!!! How backwards are we going to remain LSU? Are you proud to be LEGISLATED the Flagship School? UL never wanted to be the Flagship University ONLY "The University of Louisiana", THE very name Tulane gave up YEARS ago!!!

The Governor of Louisiana has a chance to make this right, but it is going to take a UNIFIED RAGIN CAJUN NATION to put up the MONEY to HIRE a WELL VERSED, HIGH POWER ATTORNEY to have this case retried and the VERDICT OVERTURNED!!!

I will donate the first $1000!!!

I am willing to start having meetings to do ALL the research on the WHOLE history concerning USL or UL, the vote, the trial, and another Universities around the country that have fought these battles!!!

Who is in?

This is exactly how I feel.

When Authement changed to UL-Lafayette he was taking a gamble that we'd be able to get away with using UL and Louisiana. Well, it didn't work out that way. Every time we've pushed ahead on one front we were met with just as much pushback. Here we are 13 years later and we've made no progress from where we were in 2000. In fact, back then we could use Louisiana and UL even more liberally than we can today. And outside of Acadiana next to no one calls us UL. At this point anyone who thinks this can still be won, and by win I mean total victory where everyone calls us UL athletically and academically, isn't thinking straight.

Acadiana University sounds much better than Louisiana-Lafayette. It gets rid if the double-directional plague and cuts ties with ULM. We'll never be able to create a strong identity with our current name. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.

You sir are not a REBEL, you are an accommodator. Your consistent view is give up. What is rebellious about that?

Anyone wants to go picking on the front lawn of Martin hall?

Your screen name is an oxymoron.

Let me know if you need help figuring out what that word means.

I'm sure he is familiar with the "moron" portion. He's probably been called that all his miserable life.
