D1 BSBL

I keep hearing UL Admin visit RP. We have an issue needed to be addressed. D1 Baseball is calling us UL Lafayette (who the hell is that)

I've spent a lot of time on the site. We are "Louisiana" in most places there, but there are still areas on the site where they haven't updated our name, including in the url on our team page.

I think it's more of a "growing so quickly things slip through the cracks" than intentionally calling us the wrong name.

Edit: Also, Kendall Rogers (the most visible D1 baseball staffer imo) always seems to make a point to get the name right in both his reporting and twitter feed.

URL addresses are the hardest thing to change.

If they change, it kills all their historical articles and thus their seo traffic.

The Advocate has this problem.

Who is D1 Baseball ? Seriously ? Do some research.

One thing that blows my mind and has for years is all you people getting so butt hurt by what other people refer to this university as. Why is that ? Yes, the formal name of the university in the University of Louisiana. It's unfortunate that some media outlets still haven't got that memo for years now. Ever thought it might be a promotional issue ? We may have one of the worst Marketing departments in all of D1 sports. That may be part of the problem. Some people need to worry more about putting asses in the seats and winning games as opposed to what we're being called.

You are absolutely right, it is a promotional issue.

I am fairly certain everyone here agrees with where the core problem originates but they obviously are not open to adjustments, and seemingly can't hear.

When instances arise it makes more sense to get an outlet to change than to direct the issue to those who can't comprehend the problem they created.
