Legislation thread

When Lyn Rollins calls us Louisiana on the SEC Network, in Baton Rouge, for 3 hours... We've won. It's over.

This is on the heels of basketball being Louisiana on a national bracket and taking Tennessee to the brink in front of 3.1 million viewers.

A couple years removed from Napier taking Louisiana to the Top 25 two consecutive years in national polls.

The more Baton Rouge bihtches about the name, the more attention it gets and the more it sticks. Keep in mind, nationally, other fanbases despise TSAB. They'll call us Louisiana just to spite them. Just keep doing what we're doing.

This right here. We are Lousiana. Now we need to take the next step and WIN on the national stage consistently.

Wish we would have gone further in MBB, but there were 20+ million brackets just with the mothership where eyes at least once saw “Louisiana”. Throw in other media, that’s a lot of free advertising. And the only crying over the name came from instate resistance.

I’d love to know who had the “come to Jesus” meeting regarding Louisiana with LLLLLynn Rollllins. His resume’ shows his Tiger roots, so it wasn’t BR.

He did move to Auburn, AL a few years ago, so maybe once he untethered from TSATB he got free of the name game.

Well said and spot on MAT.

He 1) accepts the other major networks using the brand and
2) He knows who's writing the checks. If this were an LSU production, he probably wouldn't have used it. But the SEC recognizes us.

It's funny seeing the narrative turn on The A&M college. Other fanbases openly laugh at their pettiness in all of this. I don't think there is a single fanbase in America other than the one in BR that openly complains or throws fits on how another school brands itself. It's comical and also sad.

LA Tech.

This is kind of funny. From the official LAST sports website:

………Jay, just wonder if after Lafayetteing us if somebody would refer to lsu as just state….I think this would cause the biggest uprising ever in the whole deal….then if we only referred to them like on the scoreboard as “State”…….So Jay, I know you won’t and guess it would only cause a worsening situation for us…..but but but ….just think of the stuff you could stir!

[Louisiana84]

I don't care what LSU calls themselves; it's irrelevant. I do care about what people call us.

I think Mickey Neese and La Tech (loly Poly) are contemptible towards us using Louisiana

I am not that petty… And I have no desire to stir anything

The best thing we can do now is quit bringing it up when they use it like it's some big deal. If they think we "Won" they will revert back. Let's focus on winning on the field! Success is what got us to this point. R1/football top 25 seasons, baseball/softball, basketball success etc...when we win we make our state look good and god knows this state needs all the help it can get. We are Louisiana and we represent Lafayette & Louisiana nationally as the second largest public state University.
