Dan McDonald calling us Louisiana-Lafayette

[31Ragin97]

It's been covered numerous times and can we just stop talking about it. Dan would call us what we want, but he is mandated by the conference to call us what they want to call us. End. Period.

or he could quit

Dan needs to have a couple Freudian slips.......a subtle way to let the masses know it's not his call.

Man guys, have y'all heard about this jerry baldwin lawsuit against ULL? Man that's going to cause some problems for us...

Ya'll know deep down if Dan could, he would. No one loves the school/athletic teams more than he does. It's the same as him following The Advocate's protocol in his stories. Not in his right mind would he ever refer to the school as anything but UL or Louisiana if he had his druthers.

Dan is a company man no matter the company and he toes the line on the safe side

I've heard (and have recordings of) ESPN broadcasters mixing it up and using "Louisiana" (while covering Sun Belt contracted games) so I know there is leeway.

Besides Karl Benson "said" UL could do what it wanted and the Sun Belt would follow suit. So whoever Dan is getting his marching orders from must have missed the memo.

ps Not Dan's fault, seems that no one in the Sun Belt got the message from Karl. Probably related to or brought on by the self inflicted illegal hyphen debacle that happened earlier this year.

Jonesboro Louisiana.

One other thing to consider is Dan's wife and Dan own McD Media and Dan is pretty much the face of the company.

I'm sure one of the reasons he is stricter than he needs to be is to protect his contracts.
