The Louis Beal Story

[HoustonCajun]

_ I put up a quick article about him:

_

I also read the interview with Dr. S. I was very disappointed to see the continued reference by both he and the interviewer to UL Lafayette and not just UL.

_ 5-5? 5-5? Where did you get 5-5?

It says 4-6...

Gotta love electronic media. And to think I passed Calculus.

Thanks for the feedback. _

no dude, in your story you had them listed as 5-5.....unless you went back and changed it???

I know I sound like a broken record, but you need to let this go. The University calls itself UL Lafayette. Almost all of its merchandise says it also. Hopefully one day the University will come out with a press release and announce a formal change. Until that day comes you will have what you have now.... a hodge-podge of names and aconyms.
Try to enjoy this. Wins are MUCH more important than a name.

Why can't it be both?

Because the University does not care!!!!!! If they did, we would not see all of these silly acronyms and UL_L shirts. Also, I just recruited at UL and half of the students called it UL_L. Why is that? I want the UL name too, but I refuse to get worked up over it. Incremental progress is not how this thing is going to change. One day UL will hold a press conference stating the name and that will be it. Much like Nevada-Reno is Nevada now.

A great question. It certainly can be both.

I really like both the sound of "Lousiana" and the sound of "winner" in the same breath.

Back to the title of this thread. I would except him with open arms. We have very few players with his combination of size and speed. Much like his teamate Bentley, he would probably start immediately.

Hooray for name threads!!
When people at work ask me where I went to school, I say UL--L mainly because if I say UL they don't know what the heck I'm talking about (I've tried). Typically I would mention "UL" and they'd say "you mean USL??" with absolutely no malice, just genuine confusion. After a bowl victory or three, that can change, and there's your window to announce us as "UL."

And as I've stated before, NOBODY in the state wants us to be UL except us, and as long as we're in a conference with ULM, we won't be called UL within our conference, which is where is should start (after we announce it ourselves).

For now, we must pick our poison. What is worse, "ULL", or "UL LAF". I HOPE we're all on the same page with this one at least... (In case you didn't know, UL LAF[You'll Laugh] is possibly the worse ticker name in history. Worse than the Sam Houston Institute of Technology's ticker name...)


Adding Beal would be awesome. Do you think he'd be OK with playing defense? That's where we need him it seems...

_ When can a kid say "my bad" and return ---the answer to this is I have no clue!!!!! _

Heck ALL of make mistakes, and if anyone says they do not I am scared of them. My hopes are that we at UL will this kid a shot if this is what he wants. It would be great if due to him sitting out a transfered year we could have him play this year even just being able to practice with the team. Heck who knows he may be able to get in game shape and help out in some way. At the very least he could start learning the system.

Nice to see this season having anothe positive effect!

See all of you at the game!

Hmmmm....no offense, but could you be part of the problem?

If CajunZ is part of the problem, we are in deep dodo.
