McNeese Week 2016

[FormerPokeCenter]

So an existing campus, with existing employees, and existing students is somehow "Obviously new," in the Alt-Reality that defines USL?

[FormerPokeCenter]

You are broaching issues that the Judge dared not raise. It would have destroyed his logic.

He was forced to come up with stuff like 'I can't find a law against it but HEY I can't find a law for it either'

The issue before the courts was never worthiness, only process.

But keep raising red herrings, I'm sure you have a few more.

There's no mention of worthiness in my post.

Now you're simply fabricating things out of whole cloth.

The Legislature Created the ULS System in 1974. The Judge ruled in 1984 that USL had no right to coopt the name of the entire system.

Later the Legislature provided a road to use of the name, with some stipulations.

You ultimately got what you wanted, the ability to rebrand as the University of Louisiana....@Lafayette.

Why do you continue to _____, whine and moan nearly 20 years later?

I gotta give you props, FPC. Your schtick was pretty funny when you first got here.

But it's gotten genuinely sad seeing the pure envy shine through.

Hope you and your buddies have a good time in Lafayette today. Safe travels

[Turbine]

yes....I think the judge was 100% spot on in his determination that no law allowed USL to co-opt the University of Louisiana System name for its own use.

Forget that your wrapup logic was not the legal logic in their final decision ...

Explain why you are afraid of your shadow. Quit projecting intent that never existed.

The Texas State University System has no Flagship and yet has a "Texas State University"

[FormerPokeCenter]

And, pointedly, they were allowed to make the change with the same proviso you had .... that they had to use their municipal designation .... Texas State University AT San Marcos, which would allow the other members of the system to do the same thing, with municipal designators.

However, the members of the Texas State University System didn't rely on a double directional naming convention, with one exception, instead opting to name schools after prominent individuals, kinda like McNeese and in some cases cardinal directional indicators, i.e., North Texas and West Texas.

Like Louisiana, Texas has a flagship university. The University of Texas. There are no flagships in the Texas State system.

Louisiana does it the other way around. The flagship is in the Louisiana State System, not the ULS system.

If the legislature intended for the University of Louisiana to have anything remotely approaching a flagship, it's in Monroe, where the Pharmacy school is.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Texas State was recently able to change their name because...wait for it....the LEGISLATURE said that they could.

Primarily because nobody else wanted the name.

Thanks for the well wishes. You too.

Here's to a hard fought, injury free game!

P.S. - I agree with you about the envy thing. Which is why you guys really should pull Turdbine aside and tell him to let it go on blaming LSU for the name thing nearly 20 years after the legislature definitively settled what you can call yourselves.

Call it a Ragervention...

Ohhhh, you just reached your breaking point... Turdbine? Surely you are better than that.

Enjoy the game.

From Ragin Pagin's own publshed history of Johnston Street High...

" What is the Name?
A brief history of the University and its names

Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute

When the University first opened to students its doors on Wednesday, September 18, 1901, the name of the University was Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute (SLII). AS FAR AS IS KNOWN, SLII WAS KNOWN AS THE BULLDOGS AT THE TIME. ...

So...unless John McNeese played at SLII after 1962, he was a Bulldog...

That is NOT from RaginPagin.com as you say, it is from http://ragincajuns.com/news/2011/10/28/Name.aspx and it is flat out wrong in many areas.

I have said many times, this school does not know its history, and if you dont know your history, you cant plot your future. If they want to get it right they should call me, my emails on the topic were not responded to.

Here is a factual post on the first use of Bulldog. https://forumeus.com/...og-Mascot-1921

John McNeese was not a Bulldog.
