Another name thread: ESPN no longer has us listed as "Louisiana" on their brackets

[I_Bleed_RED]

They now changed it to "LA-Lafayette"

*Sigh* How did I know this would happen?


I normally hate all the name threads but it seems like every time we get "Louisiana" out there it gets taken down. This was one of the best ways to get our brand out (especially if we won) and for some reason ESPN just decides to change it.

CBS/Tru/TBS/TNT will do the same on TV. Let's just realize it, prepare our hearts for it, get over it, and enjoy the dance.

oh most definitely. I'm not trying to bring the mood down. I just dont see why this always happens.

Because the right people make calls...it's no coincidence this happens.

So the only recollection will be Lafayette and Leopard logos are sure to follow.

The vicious cycle continues.

It's time for UL's "right people" to make calls to make certain it stays as Louisiana. I am tired of this passive attitude and we keep getting screwed. The cat is out of the box across the entire state that we are branded as LOUISIANA. Why continue to back off? Everytime we are in the national spotlight, we miss an opportunity to make a major statement with our name. So far so good with CBS. I only hope it holds up.

They'll show folks in the stands. Those folks should have signs. Those signs should say " #WeAreLouisiana ".

Grassroots, man. Grassroots.

Also, at least on the iOS app, we've always been LA-Lafayette. I doubt it will change anytime soon.

This is such bull ____! One step forward...two steps back!

Back when UL had an official Sports Information Director, Louisiana fans had a relentless Bull Gator in this regard.

I'm not privy to current efforts

I guess Karl misunderstood what I meant when I told him to get on ESPN about their screw up in our game and logo.

[CajunDreDog]

Someone is getting into ESPN's ear to change this. I have a guess...
