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

[CajunEXPRESS]

How about showing support to Lafayette, and Acadiana? You go out the way to Pizz off a large percentage of your potential viewers and then ask them to watch or else. Or else what? Gotta watch channel 9 for CBS programing, and LSU sports. What are we not getting there at 9, what are YOU not getting telling the local university to go screw itself.

I am so sick of hearing people complain about UL vs. ul!!! Just do us all a favor and change the names back to USL and NLU!!

Horchak is to KLFY marketing what Aaron Martin is to Louisiana Athletics marketing.

I'm positive that the new General Manager of KLFY would love to see how his sports guy is "working" an angle in getting to the bottom of this controversy at the largest employer in the market....you know, the one with the huge payroll and that can attract nearly 50k people to a football game. You know, the game that his sports guy covered and acted like he just could not get enough of those Ragin Cajuns....all fun and games on the field level, not so much fun WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE A FEW FREAK'N PHONE CALLS TO AT LEAST SHOW YOU GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOUR JOB!!

The GM's name is Kenny Lawrence, his email is klawrence@klfy.com
enjoy, and yes, he should hear from you guys.

I'm only 800 miles away from Lafayette, but I can tell you, when someone in an on air position sends a tweet like that out into cyber world, it don't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that someone should be fired.

[CajunWave]

yeah...you all have done a hell of a job with that.

You worry about marketing that loss to Louisiana (and the embarrassment you called a home crowd) in the New Orleans Bowl. We'll take care of marketing UL.

The latest snafu is from a guy who trained at Tulane.

Weird.

Keep fighting this UL-L mistake!

-----Correct---Just keep using UL and Louisiana and drop this whole discussion!!!

[zephyr]

Horchak is the worst. What did we expect from a Southeastern grad?

Screw Horshack. He was never onboard with the UL name anyway. He's an SLU grad. Another know your place mindset that probably thinks we should have never left the SLC.

A hell of a lot better than you fools did with the Bowl, punk.

Speaking of the Bowl, it's funny your ___got ___ was no where to be found after our three peat. Guess with TJoes ____ up you're feeling ballsy enough to crawl out from under your rock now.

Basinbear, I think T-Joe is an evil genius and this is all a ploy to sucker our enemies into a death trap. We, the passionate UL fans, are part of this ingenius scheme and have to do our part as the angry mob. If he clues us in to his evil genius, we'll fail him as the angry mob. I've even ordered a new thong for the mob gathering. It has a real angry look to it.

Yes... an explanation must accompany this latest incident. If not... I think we've thrown a serious wet blanket over the prior fiery fan base... and that is coming at a time the facilities master plan (projected at 25% over-budget already) cannot sustain any private funding commitment withdrawals.

This is a serious serious bump in the road. T-Joe must navigate this personally. He cannot be the delegator that he has been on everything else. His staffers allowed this to go straight into a ditch at the wrong time. He has to make a personal commitment on this and explain his logic to the base.

If he's being advised to allow this to resolve itself... that adviser needs his ___ kicked.
