Look just like the red tops but gray, very sharp looking

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.

I looked up three universities that do not go by their official names. Virginia Polytechnic College and State University (VA Tech), California State University at Fresno (Fresno State), and the University of Nevada Reno (Nevada). All use their popular name in reference to their university both athletically and academically. None of them use "University" with their name. On each academic and athletic website, they use Virginia Tech, Fresno State, and Nevada. Virginia Tech even says they go by the "popular name". Aren't we doing the same thing? There is no reason we can't do that across the board, athletically and academically. If a popular name, Louisiana, is legal without University, it should be legal wherever we use it. We should use LOUISIANA on our academic website just as we do on our athletic website. Our official name remains on all official academic matters. But, like these other schools, we use our "popular name" on all websites, in all references to the university, and all other things less official. That is if our President is so inclined to do so, wherein lies the problem. To keep our "popular name" only for athletics only serves to maintain a divided issue in that regard. It has been 15 years since our name change. Isn't it about time the university takes a firm stand on LOUISIANA?

True true. I guess that makes sense. Any of the video broadcasts I have watched were all at home.

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.

If we are news...it pays his bills for him to write about us. If he likes and respects us...it shouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that he would respect our name wishes. He can be as flattering as our own beat writer...if he can't respect our name...he is just blowing smoke up our asses, and getting clicks on his website.

He called our Super Regional the most amazing college baseball atmosphere he's ever experienced - multiple times.

LOUISIANA on our jerseys was plastered on their front page as soon as we won the conference tournament.

It was plastered on the front page Friday after we beat Rice.

They ranked us #1 in the country last year almost a month before anyone else did, and kept us there after we lost to UNO and everyone else dropped us.

Man alive, y'all.

---NO I don't but just have a gut on that of which I could be wrong, but I think Buckley, Foote, and the rest are wanting UL to win

T I ask of you why do you not like the advertiser and the Buckley guy??? Everytime something like this comes up you bash the advertiser---What is the deal???

It's petty. Bottom line is The Advertiser is a Lafayette paper and of course they support the Cajuns. One of the editors regularly attends Cajuns baseball games and is a fan. Can we get off The Advertiser's back for once? Glen Guilbeau is an idiot, but The Advertiser is doing good things lately.

Glen guilbeau argued LSU fans to call us "UL" as late as yesterday on Twitter. Just sayin'.

And in his article that came out today, he called us an "up-start" trying to take down the big dog this weekend. Up start? Sorry Guilbeau, an up-start would be Houston Baptist, who has only been playing D1 baseball for a couple of seasons. The Cajuns have a long history. 15 NCAA Tourny appearances. I don't consider that an up-start. And I think it's a slap in the face.

I expect that from him. He pokes wherever he thinks he'll get a rise. That's why he trolled LSU fans yesterday. he's trolling us.

I decided that all I care about this week is these kids, man.

These kids have taken me on a magic carpet ride. I refuse to get off that ride to hop into the corndog truck.

Everybody's going to experience this week in their own way. I'm going to enjoy it and ignore the ul-l's, the trolls, the purple and puke... all of that.

These kids have taken me on too magical a ride for me to hop on the corndog truck.
