Naming LA Tech

[Zeebart21]

_ I understand, but how far do you want to take that logic?

Do you think Tulane should be forced go by T.U.L. ? _

Happy New Year, Turbine!

Think Mr. Traditionalist calls his other, more favored school by their official name?

[CajunAmos]

Shouldn't that be T.U.L.N.O.?

[RayneCajun]

I think Mr.Cajun and Bayou Teche are related!!

_ 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 ... _

Actually it was Loyola University of the South--What did you letter in at UL????

I wonder if he had an extra "L" sewn on his letterman's jacket?

[Boomer]

_ Considering how many schools go by a different name than their official name, your reasoning is weak.

Just sit on the sidelines...out of the way...and we'll fight this fight.

_ I just love what the University of Kansas calls itself----KU!!!!! _

Several of the Big 12 schools do that:

University of Oklahoma - OU
University of Colorado - CU
University of Kansas - KU

I mentioned this previously, but if we called ourselves the University of Louisiana - LU, that certainly circumvents any of the law that deals with univerisities using UL and the city tag.

On the other hand, it might be hard to change over from UL to LU. I'm not worried about schools like Lamar that use LU. There are too many schools that use OSU or UM or UT. The biggest thing is getting over the hurdle of UL Lafayette. Would LU be successful in doing that? Is that something to even consider?

_ I am exactly who I say I am .. I may not be the rah rah type but I have never stated a lie on this board (except the Viator being the next coach thread - My source - an current student athlete was incorrect). Frankly I have always been rubbed the wrong way by the type of attitude toward U L L that is shared by many on here. I just do not think that there should be this type of division in our supporters.

We are who we are and should be proud of that and always strive to be better... Having delusions of grandeur by some of the base does nothing but hurt the university.

This is a stupid argument that many will say that I lost but I am done with it ...

Lets beat Denver ... _

Tell ya what Mr C,

You have said repeatedly that we should be proud of who we are. I must admit, I like that.

So by all means, fill us in. Tell us where UL is better than LSU, because that will make us all proud.

[CajunDreDog]

An official name and a "better known as" name are two different things.

Trust me, I'm not a chest pounding UL name-or-bust guy, but please realize that schools all over the country are known by different names than their "official" academic letterhead.
