Re: Can you feel the love?
"Wasn't trying to come across so nasty. The Louisiana does kind of sound dumb you have to admit. "
That is from a post from the tech board. A lot of them seem not only offended but confused by it. LOL. They are so sad, but if I lived in Ruston I would probably be sad too. (No offense dad). But honestly, when people around the country think of Louisiana, they think of Cajuns, good food, fun atmosphere, music, swamps, and friendly people. These are all things we have not only in Acadiana, but in Lafayette. So it therefore makes sense for us attempt to assert the term. And we are not worried about being the "flagship" of the Louisiana system, but academically we are leaders. And I guess tech is supposed to have a good engineering department, good for them. Our petroleum engineering department just won best student chapter in in the world, so I guess we aren't so bad ourselves. Basically, we have what others wish they had, so they try to run us over the coals on the few things we are lacking. Only where we are proficient, we don't try to hold others down, we cheer for our collegiate peers to be successful. It is sad there isn't more cooperation in this state. I guess I am just as confused by their inflated sense of self as they are of Louisiana.
