Naming LA Tech

[NOCajun]

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.

_ 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.

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.

WOW ... besides being a terrible example - I am sure you know that neither of those two names you mentioned are the real names of schools .. Don't you ??


And for what it is worth .. It is Loyola University New Orleans .. Not Loyola University of Louisiana .. I am out of here .. Good day ...

if you say that you cant find an address for the university of louisiana then you are admitting that Tulane does not hold the moniker.

as far as not understanding why we make such a big deal about it....... you've been here and apparently played a sport or sports here. how can you not?

And Northwestern is the Northwestern State University of Louisiana.

How is that different from a couple of dozen LSU's?

Actually they have no right whatsoever. First, when they asked the Legislature to go private, they agreed to change their name.

Second, before we went for the name change, we asked for Tulane's permission, and they gave it to us.

Look up your intellectual property law. Either of those constitutes abandonment of ownership.

I do. they are both The University of Miami. I was stating this as an example as to how schools possessing the same name require the state moniker afterwards to identify them. otherwise there is no way of discerning which is where without investigation

Joe he isnt who he claims to be... Look at his posting history. Not one positive post about UL in a couple of years... Dont argue with a pretender.

while the example may have been slightly off using the state name as opposed to the city name, the principal of the point is still there. way to be nit-picky since you are losing this fight

Oh, I guessed that... but one thing I've realized is that sometimes when we argue with the morons, our supporters take note of our responses and then they can use them as needed.

[AstroCajun]

Yawn. Mr. Cajun needs to apply for name change.

exactamento!! once he posted that he had dual certificates of citizenry, it was easy to figure out why he was so pro-puke and puke.
