This happens all the time here. When Stearns finally came out for Baylor a few weeks ago, Turnbull when Bama was here last year, Hill for the conference tourney this year. Fans in the diamond sports always appreciate a warrior on the mound/circle regardless of affiliation.
I think athletics and academics both cross his desk regularly. Athletically we want to be called one thing, academically something else. That being said I have never heard of him calling us Louisiana Lafayette at any function i've been to.
I would think calling someone by their preferred name isn't a big deal. Especially given the fact that some get that some universities already get that treatment. I don't believe that to be too much of a stretch. As with any thing.. there will be those in our corner and those that are not. Its a long term battle that won't be won overnight.
Please call us Louisiana... or The Ragin Cajuns.
Thank you.
Kendall Rogers obviously thinks a lot of our program. He has been to our stadium. He sees Louisiana plastered on our field, on our scoreboard and on our uniforms. Our press guide and anything coming out of the SID's office has Louisiana on it. He knows our quest to be known as Louisiana. There is nothing stopping him from calling us Louisiana. Have to wonder why he doesn't just call us UL/Louisiana. Has anyone simply asked him?
Being that I sat with him at a game at our field in person, I don't get that impression. If he had an agenda, he wouldnt go out his way to watch and write about us. He doesn't just report on the games, he puts us on the home page and has opinion pieces... Very flattering ones at that.
Wonder what unis we'll be wearing this week?
We have gray unis? Where have I been?
