2016: LA the new "official" abbreviation for stats, crawls, etc

[jllanclos]

LA stands for Los Angeles to 99.9% of the people in this country. How in the world anyone thinks this will help our branding is beyond me. It'll make things even more confusing than they are today.

People are really going to think "LA 33 GS 26" means Los Angeles?

Context. We're not plastering our new designation on Travelocity.

I heard a few times in the background the GSU (southern, not state) PA guy call us Lafayette.

Sidenote.I saw the video. Really nice of our players to help the whole world see our new PAC on social media.

If Trump anger motivates them. Good enough. They played really well last night.

My understanding is that it starts with basketball. We'll find out tonight if BTN adopts it, although I believe they already refer to us as "Louisiana."

A lot of these graphics packages are done before the season starts.

Everybody needs to practice patience here. We've waited this long for the university to finally get this right. We can wait a year or so to work out all of the kinks with ESPN and the SBC.

We are LOUISIANA

Forget U

Probably gonna have to wait til next year to get any of this changes. I'm just happy things are getting changed and we are pushing this. Makes the waiting easier

I don't know who (ESPN? Uverse?) is responsible for this, but this was my Uverse app from last night.

I have uverse as well, they have been doing this for years. Nothing new.

And its Uverse not ESPN, it shows up like this no matter what channel we are on.

Yea. I had Uverse back in 2014, and I remember seeing Louisiana.

A few years ago Turbine put forth using LA (since its legal) instead of pushing UL. While I always liked saying UL, it shouldn't be too difficult adjusting to LA. If using LA gets us away from the ridiculous name challenges both in state and in media then We The People should be supportive. If the branding takes us in the direction of caps or helmets have LA on it, I'm fine with it. We are Louisiana.

LA is just for ticket or stats, it's not to start calling us La over UL. In conversation it's still UL. Like Houstoncajun likes to compare us to Texas longhorns.they say Texas or UT, but for tickers and stats they have "Tex". No one walks around saying Tex.

In conversation with non-LA people, I never use "UL, Cajuns, Ragin' Cajuns, or anything else. I exclusively use "Louisiana."
