It's because its a multi-option vote. Each is a percentage of total voters that voted for the option

Two won't work because of ticker line...LA is Los Angles, Ana LAL is the Lakers.

I'm doing what I think Martin Hall hopes for, up to a degree. I'm toast on this name crap.

LA works just fine. There is no LA in college sports. Plus all pro teams that are in LA use their mascot as the next letter (LAL, LAD, LAC, LAK, etc)

There is the lazy version but in general Los Angeles is L.A.

The most viewed abbreviation of Louisiana ever, comes in everyones mail. Starting in 1963 it has became La. Then the National standard of all caps all two letter abbreviations "LA" was implemented in 1987.

ULAL
Has this been mentioned? Any thoughts?

Well it is legal and no I haven't seen it mentioned till now.

IF it is a 2-4 letter abbreviation used only for stats... I'd think ULAL would keep announcers from saying "ull". And when it comes FOX &CBS the bottom line would still say LOUISIANA.

Has LOUL been suggested? I don't really like it but anything is better than UL-L.

LU doesn't work, we're not Lamar University

LAL is already used by the Los Angeles Lakers

Just FYI

FYI...Lamar University's Scoreboard abbreviation is LAMR....LU will work for Louisiana...as will LA because neither are being used by any University.
