Naming LA Tech

[CajunT]

_ Maybe that is because there ALREADY is an offical University of Louisiana? Come on guys give it a rest ... _

OFFICALLY, their name has been changed to Tulane. There is no official University of Louisiana. There is a system of schools callled the Univeristy of Louisiana System. None of them are located in New Orleans.

see we all got alot of the same problems. The University of Mississippi wants to be called Ole Miss and they wanna have Col. Rebel as their mascot, but most folks call em mississippi and they got a stupid bear now. Guess thats why we came to a decision to call them "The School Up North" and the Rebears. If they can change their name so can we. lol

_ i think you mean was...... Tulane gave up that moniker when they switched from a public to a private institution. _

I think that you guys need to study up on your history.

Nope. I read the complete history. Tulane has not been "The University of Louisiana" for well over 100 years.

I really do not want to get into a ____ing match about this name thing. I was just stating a fact why Picard put barriers up to prevent Louisiana Lafayette becoming The University of Louisiana.

As far as Tulane ... Wiki has some good info... To this day they are still The Tulane University of Louisiana ...

NOT THE SAME THING.

[mr. cajun]

ok .. well the university of louisiana at lafayette is not the same thing as the university of louisiana .. .

They have just as much IF NOT MORE right to that name as we do ..

We are U L L .. Lafayette is a great city - we shouldn't be ashamed to say it ... lets just get over it and move on.

just like Loyola University of Louisiana and Xavier University of Louisiana. it's just used to denote what state it is located in since there is more than one of that named institution throughout the US. also, are you sure you want to use Wikipedia as a strong academic source for your argument???? if so you might want to go back to high school or take a refresher 101 class at The University of Louisiana and maybe you will learn something

I just said that Wiki had some good info on the topic ... I never said that it was the definitive piece of work on the subject ...

I would love to go back to school but unfortunately I can not find an address for The University of Louisiana ...

I really have no dog in this fight. I have degrees from both institutions ... I lettered at U L L and it will always hold a special place in my heart .. I just can not get over how this is such a big deal to you people ...

You just made my argument for me .. LOL

not really. just because they use it to denote what state they are located in doesn't make them so. thats like saying Miami of Ohio and Miami of Florida are part of the same university system.
