Well I'll be gosh darn!

Is the game vs Miss State an SEC televised game? I thought we were putting this on as the host team with the SuperDome. If so, we should be able to get the SuperDome to call us Louisiana, we will be about 5 months into our branding of Louisiana in New Orleans with the Advocate, and hopefully we can control the graphics. Miss State can call us what they want to l, but if things are as I stated, it won't matt what they call us. If it is an SEC game and they control the graphics, we are screwed. Maybe it is time we quit playing SEC teams and play other P5 conferences. Should still get great paydays.

I say still play them and then beat them. Beat them enough times, they'll get tired of being beat by a directional school. It sounds better to be beaten by "Louisiana" vs "ULL". And I have a feeling that Coach Napier is going to put us on that trend.

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.
