McNeese Week 2016

[FormerPokeCenter]

We don't care what other schools in Louisiana think about us. They can laugh while we continue to prosper and our enrollment numbers continue to rise.

The latest figures show you at 17K....I thought you guys were over 20k at one point?

Doesn't Southeastern have more students than you guys do?

Shouldn't you be spending your time petitioning the Legislature to become SLU@Lafayette???

Wrong, wrong, and stupid.

[billdog74]

The most logical argument is this...

This is one, if not the only, state that "requires by law" that certain institutions of higher learning use their "official name". I say certain because that school in Baton Rouge is not required to use their official name. Else they would be LSU A&M Baton Rouge.

Funny how these things work.

Nevada gets called Nevada not Nevada-Reno
Cal is simply Cal not Cal-Berkley
Get the picture yet or should I continue?

I think that's the perfect response for the whole naming controversy.

You're not the University of Louisiana......You're @Lafayette.

The judge ruled. You didn't appeal.

Now it's time for you to Please.

So, you are all talk. Just like the ULMost wanna-bees. If what we are doing is wrong, stop us. If not worry about your own issues. Like being a nobody school in a non descript refinery town that nobody would live in if they didn't have to. By every conceivable measure our school and town is superior to Lake Charles and McNeese. Again, we could lose 1,000 football games in a row to you, and this would not change.

If ULL loses this game, look out hahaha. This will be the nail in the coffin for ULL football program. The entire state is watching and rooting for McNeese. Go Cowboys

You want to continue to suck that Cowboy johnson just be my guest. Just two years ago your dumpster fire lost to a SLC program monumentally worse than McNeese

Wasn't that the same Tech team that lost to an SLC team monumentally worse than McNeese the same Tech team that beat U-S-L 48-20??

During one of your Bowl years???

[FormerPokeCenter]

Brother, with all of the booming activity in Lake Charles you need to get a job!!! By the pure amount of posts you have made over the last several days you obviously have nothing to do.

I don't care about the McNeese vs UL petty crap you want to argue about. Never have, never will. I don't hate McNeese or their fans. Don't care if they win or lose. Same goes with every other school in America, I don't care about what they're doing.

Your nonsense is nauseating and childish.

Yet still you respond...

[basinbear]

Man, I'm laughing out loud here at home reading all of this. Its like this website this week has turned into a visit to the zoo and the baboons are all slinging crap everywhere.....hell, I'm even involved.....😂😂😂

Perhaps that's because Louisiana is the only state which has vainglorious social climbing institutions of alleged higher learning which try to be something other than what they are?

The thing to remember about the law is that it addresses the fact that you share the name with another institution and that there is NO FLAGSHIP in the ULS system.

If you guys didn't try to worm your way around that, the state law wouldn't need to be worded as it is...

It's a pretty simple concept.

[Turbine]

Wouldn't an appeal have been the place to address that? I'm a layman and all, but it seems to me that a judgment based on a misapplication of the law would be grounds for appeal, right?

So here is the crazy part.

In order for the Judge to come up with the "no law say you can" logic, he also had to declare it illegal for the heretofore -name change as they please- Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College as having NO name change privileges.

Of course this was nuts an everyone knew it. It was the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College that filed the appeal.

While waiting for the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College appeal to get started, the Legislature went against the Judges ruling and passed an actual law for what had always existed. The right to name colleges and universities under their control.

As soon as the name permission law passed, the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College asked to drop their appeal. They could not but now it didn't matter.

You can't make this stuff up.

Instead of using the LA Constitution, the Trustee lawyers used a city ordinance case to try and make theirs.

Yikes. A can't lose case was lost.
