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

[CajunFan3406]

It cannot be "UL" guys...that IS Louisville...been that way for a jillion years...so if it cannot be "Louisiana" then what else can it be?

Why is L the only letter in the alphabet that has a singular school reference?

They've never been connected to us. They use Jay Walker to talk for them on the air and Icitsh on this forum. They obviously hate us on the inside.

Who hates us? T-J and S-T, or J-W and FISH-STICKS?

[CajunJack55]

That has always been the weakest argument...how many ASU, MSU, GSu, USC, UA, UT, and UW's are out there...but for some reason there can only be one UL...and they go by UofL just like Houston goes by UofH

Farmer is here. Yelled fear the hyphen to him. Wasn't amused.

"the Hyphen" could make a good mascot. That would be one problem solved. The fighting Hyphens. Could look something like a Hammer Head Shark!

I think there is something behind this. Savoie/Farmer promised to stay in the Sun Belt a few years back. They are so loyal that they didn't want to break this. Now that we have been thrown under the bus on the name issue, they see that the Sun Belt is not loyal to us, so why should we be loyal to them? Savoie/Farmer now pick up the phone and call CUSA and accept the bid that was made to us a while back without feeling bad about their loyal commitment that they made a while back to the Sun Belt? Wishful thinking?

Most probably it's a case of the Sun-Belt knowing we want out and as.a result them not wanting to go to bat for us.

Is it Hyphenation, Hyphen-Nation or Hi-fee-nation?

[angeleast]

[HoustonCajun]

Is it Hyphenation, Hyphen-Nation or Hi-fee-nation?

Just change to Hyphen' Cajuns.

[RedBug58]

Is it Hyphenation, Hyphen-Nation or Hi-fee-nation?

or, UL has gone into "Hyphernation".

As long as I'm around it will never stop, and I have a sneaky suspicion I'm not by myself.

Too many people yelling at the world tonight when they should have been at the Cajundome supporting the basketball team.

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.

I'm not sure if Tulane would make UL-L a requirement for our admittance into the AAC, but La Tech would absolutely try to make it part of our being admitted into CUSA.

Yes!!! Just what we needed, another thread about this. Because 6 in one day wasn't enough.

600 isn't enough.
