UL promoting UL

Twitter law?

I don't know how to describe the ridiculousness of an effort to comply with State law except its breaking State Law.

Height of dumbness comes to mind.

Just stay legal #LOUISIANA

Legal or illegal, students use twitter, a # is trying to reach followers, our students follow #ullafayette. If be willing to bet more follow and tag #ullafayette than #louisiana. If you can figure out a way to change how that works, go for it. Putting both would probably be best but go look at both hashtags and tell me is you should leave one off when trying to reach students

Of course they do, and for the same reason students from east of the Atchafalaya who start school calling it ULL. It's what they heard. Its what they repeat

It's also the same results you get when UL hires employees who never gave marketing the school a second thought and suddenly its their responsibility and they recommend to the world UL-L.

That is how use of UL Lafayette arose on the scene and now ULLafayette.

No one pounds the pavement for the state by itself, and only UL fans promote #Louisiana so if anyone else uses it UL gets free mention when searched for. #Louisiana gets accidental tourists.

#UL works for the easily confused but it's not exactly legal either.

But it's not just for athletic purposes, it's everything related to school. You know, the students going to school. I'm all for pushing Louisiana, just think this instance is being petty. Especially with the way our own leadership has dealt with the name issue. You aren't required to only use 1 #. I don't see a problem with putting the name of the university.

I'm just saying that in a misguided attempt to be legal, their not.

I think it's their attempt to reach a bunch of followers, never once considering legal/illegal.

Very true, same way UL-L popped on the scene "never once considering"

I'm not a huge twitter user, but if I am not mistaken, you can't follow a hashtag (#)... you can search for it, or if it is popular enough, you can see it trending. There are almost as many instances of #WeAreLouisiana as there are of #ullafayette

The UL-city tag Name change.

Biggest waste of time and energy in the history of the university and its followers.



It could have been so simple and so awesome.......


Universite' des Acadiens

I wanted it to be "Acadian University" Call it Acadie for short, And it sounds like you went to a private school. But I also like the battle for the name, because it has brought us together. I am not a huge ULM hater like some on here, and not wishing that we were in conf. USA, which is no better, but we could achieve our goal easier if we were not in a conference with ULM and they move down to 1AA. Just dreaming!!!

That's why I suggested putting them all, but I just think for this instance it's being petty about it. JMO, if it was #ul@lafayette I still wouldn't care, bc it is the name of the school.

Nope @ is illegal. The law says "NO typographical variations" for at !

Now that's being petty.

Hopefully, over time, this is seen by the rest of the country as the petty "law" it is.
