I would love the opportunity MAT had. First of all if I am there to speak about UL branding every time he brings up lsu and national championships just say congratulations but that has nothing to do with UL and its branding. We don’t have to brand according to lsu’s success. I would not have let him use any thing lsu has done to be a reason for UL branding. You are the largest in the lsu system we are the largest in the UL system. There for lsu and UL.
“Why are you not ULL.” Very simple on the very night the name was announced in the Cajun Dome Dr Authement said 2 things we will never go by are ULL and Lafayette. We have never gone by ULL never will. Now tell me what does an Italian boy who went to SLU know better that the president of the university.
In 1983 my sister in law received a degree with University of Louisiana on it. A name Change that took place with a 17-1 vote by the UL board, the same way every name change of every school has been done before, in the history of our state. It was only because of a corrupt bunch of La politicians a law was made in retrospectively in order to reverse that name back then in the 80s.
Just a brief synopsis. I could own that loud mouth Italian in that debate.
