Was looking for the ULM perspective. I thought we had it bad with local coverage. Woof.

If I was President of ULM, I would want to get away from the hyphenated name. Only a handful of schools have had successful branding that way, UCLA, UNLV, UTSA come to mind. Change the name back to NLU, but North Louisiana University. They keep the NLU name tradition that brought them an FCS National Championship and would have a unique name for their university. UL Monroe just doesn't give them the name they need. They have already surpassed LA Tech by being in the Sun Belt, now need a name that distinguishes them and separates them from UL and from the impression that they are a satellite of our university. That would also put them (North Louisiana) in great company with other schools with similar names, Southern Cal (SC), South Alabama (USA), Southern Miss (USM), Western Kentucky (WKU), Central Florida (UCF), and East Carolina (ECU). Just a thought. I hope people from UL Monroe read this forum. Of course, our benefit would be sole possession of the University of Louisiana name.

White jerseys and red pants, our best road unis by far.

Come on Dez, have your team ready to play for once in your life. Stop with the sleepwalking in the 1st and playing catchup.

Our pass coverage is not good today so far

Did Dez steal your girlfriend in college?

They prefer ULM

Local writers here do them or Louisiana zero favors by referring to ULM as Monroe in any fashion.

It just perpetuates Lafayette.

Lucky to get out of that only giving up 3.

[Redgineer]

At least we held them for a FG after the turnover.

Nothing personal, I just want to see UL stay relevant and not mail it in. Sorry if I hurt your feelings by criticizing the coach.

[Fais do-do]

No. He is a highly paid coach that should have a game plan to start strong against an opponent that has nothing to lose by going all out! He makes 750K+. We should have standards.

Hard to figure while we usually start slow
