Names Matter: Adv. vs Adv.

[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.

[Turbine]

I read the Adv. and the Adv.

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.

I don't think it is tremendously better. We get an article a day, maybe two. Look at the Advertiser for Gameday. No comparison. I like Buckley's articles. Might be a misspelled word every now and then an an occasional fact misstatement. But, I will take that for the UL and Louisiana reference and because it is our hometown newspaper. I like Lukes's articles and he is a good writer. But, maybe it is time for Lafayette to let the Baton Rouge paper know that if it wants to do continue doing business in Lafayette, it needs to respect our university. I am tired of the slap in the face we get from them every day and everyone says "That's OK. Thanks for the great articles." Lafayette is our town and UL is our university. Time to give us our due respect.

I agree. Luke is the better writer, but coverage overall is better in the D.A. Plus, I could not agree more with this, and it is worth repeating:

"maybe it is time for Lafayette to let the Baton Rouge paper know that if it wants to do continue doing business in Lafayette, it needs to respect our university.

Thank you sir for the great article, and the insult. Can I have another??

Half the people in this town are the first ones to slap

[MelRock]

More than half our graduates slap us in the face multiple times a day.

I think if we could transport ourselves to almost any mid-major in the country and experience their coverage, we'd run back to Luke AND Buckley in a heartbeat.

How's Tulane's coverage nowadays?

We were the first softball team to broadcast every game in a season in this entire country.

Not first mid-major.

First, period.

I'm thankful for any coverage of our team.

It's disrespectful not to call us by our name, but Luke doesn't have the say-so. And he's one of the best.

We had Josh Parrot here for a while, whose research and info took a back seat to no one.

How many mid-majors have a 2 hour pregame show and 2 hour postgame on Tuesday night to hear drunk-___ Cajuns spouting off about the coach having a pretty wife?

Very thankful for the coverage here.
