Louisiana has reached new heights under Billy Napier, and Levi Lewis is back to lead

Well, I did not subscribe, just went the free trial route. Excellent, article. Very in-depth. The last few lines sum it all up:

“They’ve competed for the Sun Belt championship in three consecutive seasons and should be there again for No. 4. But is it enough to reach that next level? To win the league outright and get a New Year’s Six spot? The fact that this is the expectation and goal illustrates how far things have come. It’s good to be a Ragin’ Cajun right now.’

Regarding the name battle, the AP is really our last big hurdle. A successful season this year would go a long way. But I know for certain that we’ve been in touch with those folks and have been working on getting it changed.

Yes, that’s where I see it consistently listed wrong. A last hurdle that hope will be fixed soon. MAT: did they ever give their reasoning behind sticking with the wrong name?

AP or Vannini?

Yahoo sports is another that hasn't followed our preferred branding name.

AP mostly, but vannini as well. Just curious what possible BS reasons they could possibly be giving at this point.

Yep…I meant to add them too.

I don’t know what the issue is with AP. That’s a question for Nico or Patrick. I just know that they have been in contact with AP.

The Vaninni thing is complicated, but the very short version is that he has LaNech colleagues that didn’t “appreciate him going against the spirit of the law in Louisiana.” Chris doesn’t want to ruffle feathers, but he was very complimentary of our program and everyone he’s been in contact with associated with Ragin Cajun Athletics.

You know how I feel about the name and I came away impressed with him. Didn’t agree with his reasoning but understood why it was a tough spot for him.

Glad to see it changed.

Patrick is at Purdue now(the other Lafayette). I know he tried to help fight the name battle while at UL.

I know. But he’ll still take your call.
