Acadiana Advocate named official news partner for Cajun athletics

[LaCajunsFan]

Well, the NOLA addition drop down is fixed. BR isn't, they might have been distracted after losing to Southern last night.

Are you sure? I just looked and all three sports tab dropdowns say "UL Ragin Cajuns." Would actually think that "LA Ragin Cajuns" would be more approriate, and not "ILLEGAL," lol, but not complaining.

What's kind of funny is that if you click either the BTR or NOLA links it takes you to the Acadiana edition.....but I guess that more of a reflection of the current state of the publishing world and not merely a local issue.

If you look at LSU and the Saints, it's the same thing. Probably makes it easier to manage the news content and helps with searching across their multiple sites.

The Sports Header for BR, NO and Acadiana are all now corrected from UL-Lafayette to UL Ragin Cajuns. They are not using Louisiana Ragin Cajuns only because it is too long for the header. Use of Louisiana in articles is approved and is up to each writer as to its use.

This is a MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT by Brian Bille and will have a very positive impact on our branding, not only in BR, NO and Acadiana, but throughout the state.

I very much agree that this is a HUGE win for us, and give kudos to all involved. But UL and LA are the same amount of letters, so don't know why.....and am really surprised....that they went with UL instead of LA.

Yup. It was still in Lafayette mode when I left the house earlier.

However, it is correct now. I'm sure some neck troll will report this to the kennel up north.

I'm just surprised in a dying media format The Advocate would have rolled over this easy, especially with their ties to the Manship School of Journalism.

Maybe it was shrewd negotiation by Brian.

yep...this guy is my new hero.

Brian deserves credit, but let's not forget it was Maggard and Crawford that refused to do business with the Advocate until an agreement was reached through Brian. They were approached with numerous opportunities including inserts for the Saint's playoffs, for spring sports and for the past football season. All were denied.

And, that's how it's done!
