You're name is Louisiana-Lafayette

[Ragin4U]

Dude, that's redundant...

Additionally, it's repetitive.

Turb, seriously this douchebags post brings little of value to this board and his or her intent is clear. It's your board but I've seen a number of threads shut down because of post from Cajuns fans, so I don't understand the reasoning behind leaving this thread open. I'm making a request to shut the door on this clown and his buffoonery please!

Now we know what opposition is being fed to ESPN and should be able to counter that with them. There is nothing we can say to a Tech fan that will change what they gave or continue to give to ESPN. We now need to be more proactive in our contact with ESPN.

Well, there are a number of us that have been writing emails to many of the sports media.

1) We give them the exact law that states the name change and how it can be used. Simple to read and very easy for the sports media to grasp that your official name is Louisiana-Lafayette. Your name has not been incorrectly plastered everywhere like one guy said above. It is truly your name.

2) We point out that you are known as Louisiana-Lafayette to the entire state. Not one university in Louisiana calls you, University of Louisiana, Louisiana or UL. None. Proof? We tell them to just read the online media guides of every university in Louisiana. None and I mean none list you as UL or Louisiana or University of Louisiana. It is always ULL or Louisiana-Lafayette. Always. Prove me wrong.

3) We point out that there are TWO Universities of Louisiana in this state and both play in the FBS division and both play in the Sunbelt conference. The ONLY way to distinguish between the two is to use the city as part of the name. Example, when ESPN runs a ticker on the bottom of the TV screen and the score says: Louisiana 30, Arkansas State 14, no one and I mean no one knows which Louisiana they are talking about. It could easily be Monroe. People across the country and even in Louisiana just do not know. So, ESPN has to use the city designation.

It really is way too easy to defeat you guys.

But, I seriously do want you to keep it up cause it is so juicy to watch your meltdowns when called Lafayette.

Your name is Doofus. We don't go around trying to change peoples mind about your name, why do it to us?

Like I've said before, maybe we should change the name of the city to Fk LSU, LaTech, ULM, Baton Rouge, and ESPN and see how important hyphens and city tags really are.

I can't comprehend why this is so important to LaTech, ULM, and especially LSU. I also can't understand why ESPN is so concerned with national audience confusion with UL and ULM when the obvious confusion, proven by their own repeated screw-ups, is with Lafayette College.

We are going to fight this until it's done. The group with something to fight for always wins. Our athletic program deserves to be marketed as it sees fit, on merit as much as principle. It may be the next generation that gets this done but it will happen. Even if it requires self-funding and telling the state and it's sorry-azz bell-cow university to go to hell.

The solution is simple. Carve out a new city. Boundaries Pinhook, South College, University, Bertrand, and Cameron. The new city of Louisiana, Louisiana has the UL LOUISIANA located there.

Honestly, when will ppl just ignore dumbass post like this one. Had it just sat there with its original post, this Peach pit sucking mofo wouldn't get anywhere. Next time leave these dumbass comments to die on the message board
