Name Advances

[CajunEXPRESS]

.....The best argument I come up with is the comparison with Nevada....formerly Nevada Reno, ain’t der no more! I think most people are getting into UL which goes with Louisiana....the audio, and visual print along with the UL hand sign....we need to increase the hand and finger “UL” sign during our alma mater......Yes I do get a lil misty eyed when I see the hands go up!

You might want to check the Nevada law vs Louisiana. I know we don’t think much about Nevada law these days, but......

The less we acknowledge it bothers us the faster it goes away altogether.

Another significant way improve perception is to change the name of the Marching Band to the Pride of Louisiana. This should have happened in 1999 when UL was no longer a regional university and the name on our degrees say the University of Louisiana. It’s time to be big time in all aspects. I know our bands have a lot of pride and history. I appreciate and support them, but it’s time to be the Pride of Louisiana. If the band director doesn’t want to make the name change, let all students and alumni vote on it just like we did the uniforms. It’s their money supporting the bands.

I didnt hear about a vote for new uniforms, when was that? Was the vote whether to pay for them or not or to assist in the design selection? A beforw and after photo would be awesome and appreciated. Thanks.

We were able to vote online with a handful of similar options several years ago on the current Marching Band uniforms. Now, it’s time to vote on the Pride of Louisiana.

Not an absolute on that. I’m happy with it either way. The band should not have the biggest say in their name. The band belongs to the university composed of students, faculty, administrative people, alumni, and additionally local supporters. This wouldn’t be such a big issue almost anywhere else.

I have been advocating that for a
long time. Thanks for posting.
