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

[California Cajun]

I feel violated.....Ragin Cajun Nation fighting it's ___ off...defending the move to brand ourselves Louisiana Ragin Cajuns....and now we are completely crapped on by our Administration. We should not be surprised when you think back to the debacle of the ULM game.....and now I will be asked by these same people to give until my wallet bleeds...don't want to hurt anyone else's feelings in the state but its ok to crap on your own supporters....who will in turn have to now eat 2 miles of **** sandwich from fans of other Sun Belt members and every University in this State....thanks a whole hell of a lot

I don't think the administration has given up but agree with your sentiments. Fans have to feel more in the loop if support is going to get to.the right level. The news reeks of business as usual, which is unacceptable.

I guess it is true. This administration be ashamed of themselves. They folded at the moment of adversity and controversy. And they wonder why they can not grow the athletic budget. There are leaders with no backbone at ULL. these guys really know how to kill a good thing. Good luck to coach HUD. And by the way, coaching is a very small fraternity. Everyone will know about our leaders

I feel the same way BB. We had to find out from the fricken Sun Belt office what our administration had decided. Still have not heard anything from our administration and likely never will. We are just supposed to sit down, shut up, give till it hurts and trust them. Right now I don't feel much like doing any of that.

Just like the crap surrounding the ULM football game....handled in a very ham handed way..

Spineless bastards leading our university!!!

Do you realize just how close we were!!!! We already had CBS and Fox and NBC on board… all we were waiting for was ESPN and guess what their reasoning was ---- that our conference still referred to us as UL Lafayette so that's what they used.

If we would've gotten the conference to go along with Louisiana, it would've been a short matter of time before ESPN followed suit.

So my question is… let's say we actually do get an invite to CUSA or AAC, can we get that conference to go along with our name since ULM will be nowhere in sight?

I'm so fed up with this situation. I am also among the growing number that thinks we need to go back to USL and get our identity back. All we did was make fools of ourselves and look petty as fcuk.

Who cares what we are called????

Seriously, the message is: You can care more about the brand of your jersey than the brand of your school.

We were always referred to as SW Louisiana and on air called Southwest Louisiana
