    Louisiana Louisiana Name History

    How do I find the history of the Louisiana name fight history? I can’t find the thread. I need to enlighten someone on the fight the University dealt with.

    Default Help with a Good Summary of Our Name Fight

    I am not trying to go down a rabbit hole here, but I know I have seen here before links to summarized versions of UL’s fight for our name. I was hoping someone here had one.

    Backstory: I have a friend at work who “supports” UL, but is in all ways an LSU fan. He is the epitome of the “casual fan”: native of Lafayette, lived in Lafayette all his life, never attended LSU or UL, and is clueless to the Louisiana name struggle.

    I’ve been trying to explain to him the naming issue. This conversation has not been adversarial because he has no clue about the issues involved. I am just looking for a summary to help explain what all of this means.

    Thanks in advance.

    One easy way to explain is using Texas @ Austin or UNC-Chapel Hill.

    I don’t use those examples, because then the reply is “Those are designated flagships/bigger recognized schools”.

    I instead like to use Nevada-Reno and their athletic branding of Nevada Wolfpack. They don’t get the inside State hatred that we do for our branding.

    Also never forget that LSUNO was changed to UNO by the same laws that we were in the same year I believe. Nobody has ever forced them to reapply for the name change under the new law created for us.

    This should just be permanently stuck at the top of the rage page for our growing fan base to find.
