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

[Turbine]

The subject is topical, I don't think it rude to ask "what's up with that?"

---OK I am going by your post of having the president of UL being given a rude surprise on signing day---NOT COOL---just like the bowl you go off with half _____ info when you have no idea what the reasons are for decisions being made---the facts will come out just like the bowl facts did and I guess you will be wrong again!!! Do you now know that we did listen to the INDY Bowl and thank God we didn't fall into that trap? i am obviously as interested in this name stuff as you but not silly enough to think that there wasn't a very prudent judgement behind the decisions made in that regard! The news will come out!!!

Bull ____ Boomer....even my wife wants to know why in hell go to the Louisiana brand and then not fight for it. No one gets off the hook for this one. I don't give a ____ what the explanation is. we walked right into a UL-L fiasco. Prudent judgement ? You really think that allowing the Conference to wrap UL-L around our head has anything to do with that? We did it Boomer....we did it to ourselves.

The facts about the Bowl didn't come out, Boomer. They've trickled out from various sources. I'm not going to sit here and rehash that with you because it's like trying to discuss the Constitution with a three year old. You live in your own world, Boomer, frequently detached from reality. In this case you are being a blind apologist for the admin.

Regardless of the judgement behind the actions, once again the way it was implemented and then poorly handled in the aftermath of negative fan reaction smacks of the same old incompetence by our admin.

I think I read to much into Boomer's objection.

Upon reflection I think he was coming at it from a not "Causing a Scene" perspective.

I might be wrong, but if I am right, I agree.

Still if the opportunity arose, I would love to respectfully bend Dr. Savoie's ear and get his opinion.

For 'me' it would have to be a discreet moment.

How others handle their queries, is up to them.

----Well I remember before bowl time how many on here came out and blasted the administration for taking the NO Bowl---you remember people????? Oh boy you guys were out for blood ---but when all the FACTS came out ya'll were so wrong and what you had been advocating could have been a disaster for this Football program---AGAIN I want to know what happened and all the details but lets get the facts first!!!

Boomer, those weren't facts. Sold to people like you who were gullible enough to believe them.

Glad you guys see the rational of not doing the the pre factual tirade of the president.

Again Hammer your tactics are not cool!!!

So demanding an explanation is not cool, Boomer? We should just trust him like we trusted Ray?

You know what tactic isn't cool, Boomer? Asking me to blindly give money to people who keep ____ing up the simplest of tasks.

-----Hey Hammer all your stuff is AD Hominem crap---i guess you weren't trained to present an argument in facts----But I will just use your post to once again point out that you were WRONG----The facts "trickled out from various sources" So what you and your argument were wrong and now if looked back on were very stupid----You say things and make judgements without the facts---You know my feelings as well as everybody on this board about the UL name and I just won't be stupid and rush to judgement before I get the facts!!! And PLEASE don't put words that I never said on here as mine!!! And maybe man up when you are wrong!!!

Personally I feel they only want to hear from me when they want money. All this nonsense on the name and not a peep from tjoe opens my eyes. When HUD leaves things will get worse....
