Usable UL names

[CajunMarine81]

_ Well if you read it says your name must ALWAYS contain @geographic location...and your abbreviation must ALWAYS contain the letter of your geographic location. As far as the other post....

ULM has decided that we don't want to be called ULM so we have decided we want to be called the University of Tulane of Louisiana similar to Tulane Universivty. That is pretty much what you guys try to do. If you want go ahead and change your name to Nebraska University of Louisiana or State of Louisiana University....just because you think it doesn't mean its what people believe you to be. _

You are a fricking idiot.

The name change will be a on going debate for us because, if you remember, our former board, the Board of College Trustees, Now the Louisiana System, gave us the right to change our name in 1984, only to have the politics backed by mickey neese and lsuambr have it reversed. you see P***S envy in La. runs rampade. NO one objected when lsuno changed to UNO, or lolly poly changed their name to LA. Tech. their's one for you to use against Tech.
SO, for some of us, the name is a sore subject, other more grave than myself. I call it what I want because if the politicans back by lsuambr had not interferred in OUR business, we would have the name of University of Louisiana under our belt for 25 years.
No offense to ULM or University of Louisiana at Monroe. I am glad it was your school and not SLU in Hammond that joined us.
Our two schools will always be looked upon differently because we defied the Evil Empire.
I attended ULM for one semester before going into service and then returning to UL and graduating. ULM is a good school with lots of pride. The Name Change was good for both Universities, so, I respect both schools academically but sure do like whipping your a***s in sports. LOL.
WRECK TECH.

Come back when all the system schools comply with

III. University and System Name Guidelines
E. All institutions, whether or not their names are changed to the University of Louisiana designation, must use the wording “A Member of the University of Louisiana System” prominently on all stationery as well as on title pages of university/college catalogs, magazines, newspapers, and journals.

It's silly really for a couple of reasons, first by generic use (in III F. of the edict discripion) of the terms "System office and the Board" to describe separate entities it shows normalized names always trump.

Second if this were really an issue every school in the UL system would be out of whack on 90% of their athletic name usage. http://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=80675

If you think using''Louisiana'' is legal, you my friend are wrong. Contact the state and find out. I was curious about the law so I contacted them to get it. I told them they need to enforce the law or do away with it and grant you guys or NWST flagship status...NSU is the oldest and y'all are the biggest. In the email I received...''no single institution has the legal right to use Louisiana, University of Louisiana, UL or U of L for any reason''...They do not have the time to waste on these type of things is what they said. But I was welcome to go investigate myself and send them pictures of violations, and that would get the ball rolling. If I had no life man could I have fun with that. Dear U.L.L. you have 30 days to comply or we will completely cut the funding to your athletic dept. Entering off Johnston University of Louisiana, pics of scoreboard at football games, football field, varius websites including scout using Louisiana, that is a form of slander, signs with Lafayette less than 80 percent come to mind. You know really... you guys are fun on this topic, its something fun to do at work. You need 1 thread per week, it is pretty entertaining even though it is touchy with y'all! AND YES YOU ARE CORRECT you guys do have lots of _____ envy for the schools in this state that everyone outside of a ten mile radius of lafayette root for.

Dream on, fact is you CAN use a reference name to refer to an "official" entity.

The very edict that set this whole thing up did just that with it's stand alone use of "system" to refer to the "University of Louisiana System" http://www.ulsystem.net/assets/docs/...ws_8_30_04.pdf

The common use reference term Louisiana is far to generic and free domain to make any claim against.

Well really I don't care, I just have fun with the name thing. Deep down you know you are the same as you've been the last hundred years...a regional school. You will never have your games on radio, tv coverage by news stations, or people calling u the mythical UL outside your 30 mile invisible line around lafayette. To be able to carry the states name you need something other people will envy. I hate to put y'all down cuz you don't control it but the ugliest campus in the state is between yall and McNeese. Ive never been to SLU though. Facilities, maybe Id take the IPF but thats about it. I know ours arent great, but they don't look like they're going to fall apart.

Aparently you haven't been to our campus in a while. Almost every building has been renovated. Our campus is actually quite nice now.

As for us never become anything more than a regional school you are already wrong. We made national news last year with Tyrell Fenroy. We have been to the College World Series. We have been to March Madness. We have been to the Women's College World Series. While people may not know us as UL YET, they certainly know who the Ragin' Cajuns are. Thats more than you can say about ULM who will never even be a regional school. I'm not sure people in your neighboring towns know there is a school in Funroe. You better place a call to your Dean of Pharmacy and thank him. Without it your school may not exist.

I know it must hurt to live in our shadow and always striving to be us but you never will. Just save yourself from making yourself sound like a complete idiot and quite posting on this site.

By the way I enjoyed rushing YOUR field when we killed ya'll in football a few years ago for a share of the SBC Title.

What's the best meat to use in a gumbo? Land meat, not sea meat.

The combination of chicken, shrimp, okra and sausage can't be beat in my book!

You're about as ignorant as they come......UL does get TV coverage hotshot. And I think we have one of the most historic, beautiful looking campuses around. I don't think the Monroe campus even comes close T-Boy............

I'm betting this isn't even a real WarHoaxster. More likely another Brokeback U @ Lake Charles Cowboy trolling the landscape.

Nah.. I believe its a Monrovian.. Who the hell would pose as one? Thats even worse than being stuck with those disgusting colors.. Anyway, this guy wreaks of ignorance and jealousy. Not to mention, just because you guys have a few new buildings doesn't make your campus nice. Get some history under your belt, then cast the first stone. I bet my life you've never even step foot on UL's actual campus.

Foo Foo, trust Destin. Some fans have such a hard-** for UL that they actually use fake names to try to make a pt.
