Tuffguy _you said "Lafayette" Ike is going to repeat "Lafayette"
Well, when phrased in the idea of "It feels like a slap in the face" it isn't accusatory, its more of an acknowledgment of why its upsetting to people who supported him in college. I don't think that it was taken that way, because if it was, I doubt I would have gotten a response at all.

This is the reply I received from Ike, and below is the message I sent him.

Mike,
Hey, great to see you doing so well with your career! I have built a sled for my kids to pull as your uncle had you do when you were younger. I can see results already.
I am wondering if you could do the Acadiana area and UL a favor. When referring to our beloved University of Louisiana would you please address them as Louisiana, UL, University of Louisiana, or Ragin Cajuns? We know from time to time you are able to be on prime time TV and state who you are and where you went to college. The name change could be really bumped along tremendously with the use of Louisiana or University of Louisiana!
Please do your part as a loved and respected alum of UL,
Troy
Like I said, if he got a couple of concerns about the situation, I hope he'll fix the situation.

Awwww Daddy, I got the feelin' that Ike is all about Ike. I hope I am wrong.

I got a personal email back from Ike, too. Like his responses or not, at least he took the time to respond. I was plesantly surprised by that!
