Old State Uniforms

This is interesting. What I find remarkable is that perhaps State was trying to move into the academic void left by Tulane when it went private and changed its name? Before Tulane did that, when they were named Louisiana and State, the two schools were like the rest of the country, one liberal arts, medicine, and law; the other ag & engineering.

I find the following comment particularly interesting:
"So let's see... LSU was Louisiana before USL wanted to be Louisiana so LSU is the real Louisiana and LSU should really be in Lafayette.
The plot thickens. "

Because of course, Tulane was Louisiana before State wanted to be Louisiana.

Lsu needs 'state' jerseys, its that simple.

Coming from the people who ripped off Geaux from us and pretend like they are in "Cajun Country" ... that is funny.

Below is my favorite quote from that link. Smalls, an LSU fan posted this, but this thread was started by an LSU fan and not one UL fan posted on the link. How stupid is that group.

"It never ends with those people. "

I hadn't considered that in this context. State does have a large inferiority complex, and an overweening neurosis about themselves. They have very little interesting or original about their culture or traditions, and repeatedly we see them watching the UL System schools for ideas.

This even extends to their beloved athletics, where they followed our lead on men's hoops, LTU on women's hoops, UNO on baseball, and UL again on softball.

I need to give that some more thought. Excellent point, NOLA.

And you know how much it hurts me to admit that...

They just put a lot of effort into not caring. In fact, they are the best at not caring.
