    My experience has been that most people that say they don't read Cajun Redzone now because of their use of Louisiana-Lafayette, weren't doing so the prior seven years when the Cajuns were listed as "LOUISIANA" either.

    What was the issue that caused it to get changed from Louisiana back to the dreaded Louisiana-Lafayette?

    I think the change happened when foxsports bought scout.com. In essense, Fox Sports puts us in our place. Can they at least spell "rajin" correctly?!?

    So Boomer, you don't read Dan McDonald either? You look at the local paper as if they are an extension of our alumni base or part of the Ragin' Cajun family, they are not. They are part of the Gannett News Corporation and cover that Cajuns as they do LSU. Its business, that's it. I'm happy that the Advocate is now covering the UL Sports program with a full time beat writer. That means this program is now more news worthy and others see the value in covering our program. Judge the quality of his work, not because he uses an acronym that our university screwed up!

    On their networks they have no problem calling us Louisiana. It can't be just switching owners.

    Guess he never reads ESPN or Sports Illustrated articles either. We all watch the games on ESPN even though it says UL-LAF at the bottom of the screen. It is a silly and stubburn to boycott an article becuase of what they call us.

    Not reading or supporting something because of what they call us will only accomplish one thing and that is that they will not write about us. The more successful we get the more mentions and press we will get and with that will come more UL-L and Louisiana-Lafayette's and yeah it sucks, but what sucks even more is when you get absolutely no mention or press at all.

    Actually Fox Sports is the not the problem, they sold the Scout network to North American Membership Group. The CEO is the guy that originally started Rivals. They follow the old AP model, using the acronym of Louisiana-Lafayette. Unfortunately, my contract agreement was with Fox Sports and thus NAMG are not obligated to that contract.

    I laugh when I see "Cajuns" used by itself (an ethnic group) on the heels of the media claiming they need to be "authentic" by using every element of the schools full name.

    If they were being truthful, they would use Ragin' Cajuns in every instance, or conversely the nickname of the school would suffice.

    Check this site out and see how they have us listed. college.scout.com.
    But I do read cajunredzone because the name is the ultimate decision on what I read or don't read. Just trying to point out how ludicrous some of y'all are when it comes to the

    not important, Jeff.

    I must respectfully disagree. There is no doubt that our market is growing. Voting with our dollars is the ONLY way we will get satisfactory result. It works the same for Lafayette enterprises that don's support Louisiana or support some other school. They will respond to what best suits their bottom line. Making Louisiana what best suits their bottom line is our business as a fan base.
