Slap in the face Advocate.

Nevada has the exact same sports branding motif as Louisiana and you use their name properly. Good job.

On the home front however you insist on slapping an unnecessary city tag. Not good.

Why the double standard?

The takeaway is not to add Reno the rest of the week, that would make you look foolish.

The takeaway is to start using the branding prefered by the subject you are covering.

Quit the double standard.

Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns or Louisiana for short.

Ditto the above. That's why I don't read any Advocate articles.

Good point, Turbine. I'd like to hear the Advocate's response but then I don't expect them to bother trying to give one.

Again don't support and don't buy it!!!!! If only ya'll could see what they have done in New Orleans ---- Not a Tulane fan by a LONG SHOT---but it is a Baton Rouge/LSU RAG!!! T-Bine this is a great post---We need to get a write up in the DA showing the difference!!!

The Advocate has some good coverage of the Cajuns, but jeez, they go to great lengths to disregard the name request of the exact market that they are covering. Hell, they even make Dan McDonald, the former SID for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns hyphen the school's name. No matter the extent of the coverage, some people are just not going to get over what EVERYONE knows is a deliberate slap in the face by a baton rouge run organization. I read Luke's stuff occasionally on-line and it's usually good, but will never spend a penny on that paper.

I would like to hear our administration's take on using the hyphen. Until they step up and put their foot down, I could care less. I used to care, now I dont. Face it, we are The University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

BATON ROUGE run news paper catering to the Baton Rouge market...could care less about UL or Acadiana area and just doesn't want to upset the kitty kats....so there you go....no matter what, I will continue my support of the paper and media that supports UL, I will never quit..GEAUX CAJUNS...beat Nevada! From Iowa, La.

So hiring a full time reporter to cover Ragin Cajun sports does not show that they care? Yeah, its a business and they care about the bottom line, I get that. Luke Johnson's coverage of Ragin Cajun sports has been top notch.

If you look at the overall body of work, The Advocate is a better paper.

With a double standard.

Luke is on this site often. I would like to see him comment on why the Advocate honors Nevada Reno's request to be called Nevada (athletically) but ignores Louisiana Lafayette's request to be called Louisiana (athletically). Surely, the Advocate has reasoning behind this. They need more transparency on this issue.

Luke Johnson has been great, but they ain't getting a dime from me. I'll read for free whenever possible. Other than that they would do nothing but lay under a nice boiled sack of crawfish (with the seasoning inside the damn crawfish, I don't do the dusting crap, that's just lazy and should be illegal. Soak dem damn things)
