    I'm plain sick of our name issue. I wish and I don't know why we didn't pursue the University of South Louisiana. Perhaps there was a lot of opposition to even that name change that I never heard about. It seems these are the only topics ever discussed on a Cajun board.
    1) We don't have enough money
    2) Name issues
    3) Reasons we hate LSU
    4) How long will Tech be in the WAC
    5) Reasons to hate LSU

    We need to win some ball games and talk about a championship.

    I'm tempted to send letters or emails to anyone at UL asking what our name is in the hopes that maybe they will decide on something. Post it in the papers, memo espn, shout it from Griffen hall. Make it official, let everyone know and put the damn thing to bed. I'm so tired of this name game. Let me know what to call my school and I will do that. If it's UL at Lafayette then say so, if its University of Louisiana "Lafayette" fine, just let everyone know once and for all.

    The name issue is a ball game and someone dropped the ball. At the very least someone is calling the wrong plays.

    Besides it's still the off season, we can talk about most anthing excpet the regular taboos and reasons why we need to replace the head coach.

    No. I'm not sure what you are talking about? My computer crashed about a week ago and I haven't downloaded adobe reader yet so I didn't even read the reports that were posted.

    That's not true in many cases. For example, take the "average Joe" Uneauxers, McNeasers and LaTexsters who have absolutely no dog in the name fight at all but they'll call you whatever it is you don't want to be called. It's a typical playground mentality.

    Well, yesterday I received the UL Foundation publication in the mail. And, guess what we call ourselves on the front cover and throughout most of the publication, the University of Louisiana Lafayette? I thought our official name was the University of Louisiana at Lafayette? The report is sprinkled with UL Lafayette and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, but the predominant usage is the University of Louisiana Lafayette.

    We have local media calling us UL and Louisiana. Our athletic website is starting to use UL and Louisiana more and more, although the website is still a mixed bag of names that includes Louisiana Lafayette. So, outside of Lafayette, we are still Louisiana Lafayette. Now, one of the universities key publications calls us the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Geez!! Maybe I am the only one who gets riled up over this, but it gets rediculous and is frustrating to me. I sure hope Dr. S takes a position on a consistent use of our name going forward. I don't care that we are the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, as long as athletically we are UL and Louisiana. But, academically, our university should at least get our name right. Doesn't anyone proof these things?

    The report also states that the Foundation's total assets are a little over $136,000,000. I thought we had surpassed $150,000,000. _
    IMO, whenever you get something like that, send an e-mail to Doctor Savoie letting him know you really would like to support the university, but are not happy with this and will postpone any serious donations until this activity stops, and also cc one to the foundation.
