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

[CajunJack55]

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."

Found a stream of the game online. It has Lafayette as the name.

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

Interestingly, when UALR wanted to be known as Little Rock, it was immediately accepted by everyone. I wonder if anyone is following up with the media and conference on this or is it just a simple release and hope for the best? Why hasn't the SBC come on board if ULM is supposedly OK with it?
