Notice to The Advocate: THIS is how it is done.

Unfortunately it appears Luke Johnson is going to continue to refer to UL a Louisiana Lafayette, witness Thursday's articles and photo's....Everyone should shoot him an email and politely ask him to quit doing so, don't be nasty, kill him with kindness... email address ljohnson@theadvocate.com

Please, for the love of everything holy, stop.

Understood, what doesn't hold water is those saying "That is the school name" "give it a rest."

Legal names as found on diplomas, articles of incorporation, birth certificates are rarely if ever used in media.

Example: WalMart's full name is not Wal-Mart.

For any media or self entity to use legal fullness of name as a crutch is humorous at best.

But bringing up an academic certification in an athletic argument is pointless, especially and specifically in our case. Like I said before, I'm not blaming anyone anymore until the guy that lives in that big house on campus makes a point to say where he stands. How can we expect others to do something he won't?

When T-Joe was applying for the job he is recorded as effectively saying 'we will know our place.' The recording was online for a year after he was hired, I'm sure the transcript is attainable. I have the audio on one of my hard drives.

Irrelevant though that may be ...

The phrase "It's on my diploma" was used before Louisiana84 mentioned it, except then it was used to justify full name use acceptance which in a way is the ultimate fruition for the "know your place" crowd whose ears T-Joe was tickling.

They call me Mr. Tibbs.

But you can call me Johnson.

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

Ok, honest, did you C&P, or did you know these lyrics?

Don't answer, I'm going with you knew them, final answer!

I'll never tell, but I have listened to it about a half dozen time over the last 2 weeks while working on my house.

Johnson would have been so simple.

No, I didn't graduate from UL.. But I was the FIRST ONE in the media to call us "Louisiana" and I've never let up. You don't think it's personal with me? Think again.

But I also know how the media works. Luke and Joe (the sports editor at the Advocate) did what I thought was a good job of explaining their position. Luke went as far as to say we won't get U-L-L'd to death anymore.

I say get over it, because you're wasting your time beating the drum expecting the Advocate to change. They aren't going to. There are other battles that can be won that are more worth your time and effort.

Let's concentrate on those...and win them together.

Jay, it would be nice for you to quit forcing your opinions onto other posters with opposing views on certain topics so damn often here. While I have great respect for everything you do for UL and the celebrity that ultimately accompanies you with your comments, it still would be nice to see you suspend your "butting in" on simplistic opinions with Zeus-like authoritarian zePleaselness. We might have to take this on your radio show since you can conveniently cut us off at a mere whim, but here you are fair game like anyone else. In short, "chill out" and quit being a "know-it-all."

Isn't that the whole point of a message board? Looks to me like he's just rebutting....
