Tech to the Belt, 2026

And again, they are now in the minority and in a position of weakness. It will look second rate pettiness when they inevitably try to do it.

In the perception game, we won.

The power of the POD. My perception of Tech went up.

Louisiana coaches need to use the RR pulpit.

This is a good summation of attitudes.

Say what you want about latech, but they have no fear. Whereas, we are ruled by it.

I’d like to actually fix the current last three decade trend vs LA Tech on the football field more than worry about what they alone want to call us.

We can do 2 things at one time. No doubt though, Coach Des needs to continue to improve, because we are certainly not where we need to be yet.

Tech AD said basically for rivalry sake they will never call us Louisiana. Wonder why they didn't press him more on that. Interesting that our interviewer said he didn't mind the UL Lafayette name. Wish he would have just said that our branding is Louisiana and the SBC and national media are calling us Louisiana. Why won't Tech come on board with that?

Nick was correct in stating that UL Lafayette is a correct name for the academic institution.

Its accepted but it's not legal.


The law is simple, you can't use University of Louisiana by itself or UL for that matter.

Any time you do use University of Louisiana (or UL) you must include "at" and "Lafayette."

The legal name is "UL at Lafayette" meaning "UL Lafayette" breaks the law. The law gets so specific to the point of stating the "at" font cannot be less than 80% the size of UL.

The miss mesh is accepted so it is a non issue, just innacurate.

"Louisiana" however is 100% legal for athletics and academics.

So if UL doesn't follow the law the name police is coming to put UL in the name jail? Time the university grow a pair. UL Lafayette is our legal name...We go by UL or Louisiana end of story. If Tek wants to be an ass we can't stop them, but UL is to blame for supporting them to be in this conference to begin with. Never should have happened.

...UL Lafayette is our legal name...

Its not the "legal" name it is the accepted name.

Thanks for the find.
