Nebraska vs Cal State Fullerton on ESPN right now. Cal State Fullerton decides they want to be known as Fullerton. So, they put an "F" on their caps and jerseys and ESPN calls them Fullerton, not Cal State Fullerton which they have gone by for years. BTW, Fresno State is Cal State Fresno, but prefers the Fresno State reference. No problem. Yet they refuse to call us Louisiana.

It's because none of those references are threatening to the California powers that be...sad but true.

And why is that? Why do they comply for them but not for us? Your answer is 50 Miles east and loves to voice their opinion to ESPN.

Lissen, ya'll...you give UL-Red Stick too much respect. If ya'll will just consistently start referring to them as UL-Red Stick, and ignoring their preferred monicker, it'll make their blood boil hot enough to cook crawfish. Hell, they might try to get some law passed in the legislature making UL-Red Stick illegal, at which point you will know you've won. Works for us Dawgs in Mis'sip'i. TSUN (known to some as Ol' Miss) is stuck with their new name, and they hate it like hell. But we ain't lettin' 'em go, and every time they complain, it just underscores their pseudo-aristocratic attitude, something they have in common with UL-Red Stick. I'd love to see ya'll do that, and I won't even take any credit for coming up with it. Seriously.

You know what? I'm going to adopt this, starting right now. UL-Red Stick it is.

I KNOW this works. I got first cousins in Red Stick that get red in the face when I do it to them. I'm talkin' slobberin' at the mouth, mind-altering fightin' MAD as hell. They REALLY get mad when I compare them to TSUN.

Love how Miss St's twitter is telling everyone how tickets have been "easy to come by after all."

Let's see how easy they are to get tonight and tomorrow.

I live in MS, am an MSU guy and I can attest to what BaldDawg is professing. I will now, henceforth, call that school in Red Stick, UL-RedStick. Done.

Hope it catches on around here. Whenever I refer to that school, I'll say "UL-Red Stick." When they say, "Who?" I'll say "The fighting tigers. UL-Red Stick." When they say, "That's not their name," I'll say, "yes it is. The Ragin' Cajuns are Louisiana, and the Fightin' Tigers are UL-Red Stick."

No need to argue about the name any more. We should've done this sooner.

UL-Monroe will henceforth be referred to as "Louisiana Tech at Monroe." Same reason. Done.

I would argue that UL-Monroe is enough of an insult

Not to them, strangely enough.

MSHoula--I like your dog. Had one once. Smartest dog I ever had. To much of a problem solver for her own good sometimes, though.

Might as well go back to being USL.

Just an FYI veedreen, but we still had an identification problem when we were called USL. I did a lot of traveling back in the mid 80's with the football and basketball teams. The majority of the fans of the teams we were playing did not know who we were. We were often called the University of Southwest LA (not too bad), the University of Southern LA (I hated that one) or the University of Saint Louis (Really, did these people not have a clue to what state we were from nor care?). There were a few others, but that was the most mis-used names I remember.

We have to keep putting the name we want out there. We have to keep winning and reminding others what we should be and want to be called. We have to keep fighting the legislature. Keep pounding the name down everyone's throat; WE ARE LOUISIANA!!!!

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!

I just know this on ESPN they can UL-Lafayette us to death, but I see Louisiana everywhere, scoreboard, jerseys, helmets, pants, hats, behind home plate, in the outfield, on the press box, and on the fans.

So ESPN you go ahead say Lafayette, but when I watch a game I see Louisiana. I automatically think University of Louisiana. People are seeing it, ESPN is seeing it, they know exactly who we are. Everyone else who is watching knows who we are also! We are Louisiana, we are UL, thee University of Louisiana Ragin Cajuns
