Well, the abbreviation I see most often for us is ULL, even though they call us LOUISIANA. LA is not used by anyone. Maybe it is time to take a bold step and use ULA. I doubt we would hear much objection to it at this point. We would be in great company with UGA (Georgia) and UVA (Virginia). It is the natural abbreviation that everyone will relate to and complete our LOUISIANA name and reference. Geaux ULA.

This is deja vu.
Go back 10-15 years ago, and we were having this same discussion on this board:
"Lets refer to us as ULA" - comparing to "UVA" and "UGA".
At the time, many on this board were confused:
"What does the "A" stand for?"
"We understand "UGA" where the "A" stands for Athens...."
"Does the "A" stand for Acadiana...?"
ETC.
Sounds like we have moved on in 15 + years.....

For frack’s sake. Our school gets some nice spotlight from a nationally followed paper, and we turn this into another _____ing about the name thread.

CBS sports app still uses ULL and LALAF.

Perhaps if we wrote them a letter...........

[CajunVic]

Perhaps if we wrote them a letter...........

They already use way too many letters.

They already use way too many letters.

Perhaps we could get someone to writ them a letter?

Virginia is in Charlottesville. LA is an abbreviation for LOUISIANA not Louisiana Acadiana. Every recruit at the game Saturday called us ULL. The networks use ULL. We can't let that stick because it is taking root. It took us a long time to get LOUISIANA and people complained that we _____ed too much, yet it finally happened. Just saying we need to finalize the right reference to our university - ULA - University of Louisiana. Athletic marketing needs to promote ULA.
