Names Matter: Adv. vs Adv.

[nathancpike]

As I've said before Boom, the Advocate's coverage is tremendously better than the Advertiser's (in my opinion). Facts and a certain writer at the Advertiser have a very loose relationship. It ain't even close.

does anyone see to think this is the most Louisiana references we have seen in a long time by our competition.

In 2000, we were "ULA" and "Louisiana" at the NCAA basketball tournament (CBS) and the College World Series (ESPN).

Starting to pick up. CBS calls us Louisiana. FOX calls us Louisiana.

ESPN are asses. They did this exact same thing to Memphis (State) for years. Nevada (Reno) too.

Once ESPN climbs on board, this thing is over.

--By coverage you surely can't say more right!!! The game day of the Advertiser with its player profile and wrap on the entire section certainly outdoes the BR coverage---a few weeks back there was a huge blunder by the BR paper with a photo or something and of course they got a pass on many from this board----Also Nathan Buckley has written some great stories of the Cajuns through the years!!

Boom, you sound more like "get off my lawn!!" guy than usual tonight..

The grass Boomer grows needs maximum protection. The clipping from that lawn gives him some unique music ideas, and the munchies.

-------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.

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..
