Name Advances

[barisaxman]

We have finally achieved national recognition as Louisiana. Anything else further detracts from that name. The Pride of Acadiana makes no sense when referring to Louisiana. It only serves to confuse our identity. We are not the University of Acadiana. The band's name should reflect the name of the university. Anything other than The Pride of Louisiana is detrimental to our Louisiana name. It is time for an immediate change and have a coordinated Louisiana reference.

I’m thinking people aren’t at the games or they’re not listening to the intro....

The band is ALWAYS introduced as “LOUISIANA’S Marching Band—THE Pride of Acadiana!!”

It still creates a double identity that we don't need. We are The University of Louisiana NOT the University of Acadiana. The Pride of Louisiana says everything about who we are as a university. Everything we say and do should be LOUISIANA. Drop the Acadiana reference. It only further confuses our identity.

Houston Cajun just stuck the dismount on this discussion!

While he made a great point, fact check: it was not the dismount, i see more posts. lmao

I think the band would have to get a LOT better before calling it the pride of Louisiana. It may not even be the best marching band in Lafayette.

Any stats or rankings? Were they never at the level u describe or have they stumbled?

If someone wanted to make a post that noone would respond to i think the D word fan of 71 was looking for is not "dismount" but "Dear Diary"

I don't care if anyone replies, unlike you. Besides, most 5th graders, unlike you, know that it's "no one", not noone"

way to insult your own university's english department, you should read cajun fun’s signature block

looks like mr. bill gates thinks there is a hyphen, maybe he keeps autocorrecting me?

“ "Noone" is formed for consistency with "nobody", and also its opposites "anyone" and ‘everyone’”.....the opposition now makes sense, since, Lord knows many on here are not consistent, as so many have to wait to see what someone else said before arriving at their opposite viewpoint. i wonder if Bama’s board is like that?
