Names Matter: Adv. vs Adv.

[ManAboutTown]

---ggggrrrrrrrrr---yea, when you see just the crazy non sequitur logic of some---It baffles the entire ideology of our quest!!! then the whole topic gets put off base because of a mistake that was immediately corrected

Its a 1984 fight I guess I am still fighting and thought we all were in it!!!

We were.. Fought hard, almost daily.. Until our OWN administration, PRESIDENT, and SID sold us out and caved in to ULM, the belt and media.

[tdncz]

We gotta keep up the fight though.
I was there in 1984. I saw the whole thing unfold.
(It is this story I summarize when folks here in St Tammany Parish ask, "why do you hate LSU so much...?")
One day - and I hope to see it -- we win this fight.
BUT - as many have said -- it does not help when our own Pres, AD, SID, cannot even get it right and capitulate when their voices are needed most.
......Sigh.......

Man you guys are some strange. We will win this war, but it will not be won in Louisiana first, the other forty nine states first then Louisiana will fall last, and then in the final skirmishes Baton Rouge, MoanROW, and Shreveport.

Yes the North will fall last, they absolutely want to keep us the equivalent of ULMost and LTU-R.

I haven't given up.
I still buy Louisiana gear only. I only refer to is as Louisiana. I do my share of explaining to others.

The difference is, I simply won't fall over myself trying to demand people use our preferred term. It's just not worth looking like a small-time fool to me. If our leaders backed the cause, I'd be one of the most vocal soldiers in the fight. But they don't, so..

[lcitsh]

Our own school literally TOLD the sunbelt to use UL-L. Then untold them. We have seen the enemy, and it is us.

Wrong.

[lcitsh]

I truly don't understand why some people can't grasp this.

Because it's not true.

[CajunFan83]

Because it's not true.

Please explain.. I'm not trying to be an ___. I really want to know the facts. I've personally never heard T-Joe or Scott say publicly (in an official manner) that we want to be known as Louisiana of the University of Louisiana when it comes to athletics. Maybe I missed it?

[California Cajun]

But since we have been talking about it all day on another thread

the University of Alabama calls us what we request and the BR paper doesn't

Why??? I would think because they are not a true UL paper

So should I pull for a team that honors my request or the one that will never call us what we want to be called!!! So glad this came out now to make the perfect point!!!

I don't subscribe to the Advocate for that reason. I don't subscribe to the Advertiser because they reneged on their pledge to use Louisiana first reference. You don’t have to pay people who don't respect you.

[CrazyCajun]

I don't buy either of them and read every article

[jumboragncajun]

Those that refuse to read the advocate are just missing good coverage. That's all.

The word obtuse comes to mind.
