One of the Oldest references to UL being the University of Louisiana

[RonMexico]

And I wouldn't count on it this season.

After the skull reaming in November, ole Weatherbie told Bustle at the coach's handshake after the game, "Well, Congrats Coach, we gave you that one."

Bustle replied, "There wasn't any giving today. We came and took it from you."

I'm sure Rickey will remember that conversation in a couple of months.

YOU know, Mr Cdeb I had heard that there was a friendly banter at midfield after the bludgeoning....

I promise, if RB forgets that convo at midfield... Someone will remind him before the game.

I hope the Fenroy and Wallace show runs wild on the "Warhawks." I say we run up the score as much as possible to shut the "Warhawks" up.

Since the name "University of Louisiana" became available in the late 1800's the oldest provable reference I have found is now Feb. 1974.

I had heard the University of Louisiana movement started in the late 60's and early 70's.

University of Louisiana in use as far back as Feb. 1974

I think Tulane was the first to have the university of louisiana name............

I don't think anyone here disputes that.

If someone decides to open a "Louisiana Seminary of Learning" are you going to call them out because that used to be LSUA&M's name?

Ding ding ding you are correct.

Thanks for filling in the blank on who dropped it. I hope I was generally clear enough on when. "Since the name " " became available in the late 1800's"

The University dates from 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana. With the addition of a law department, it became The University of Louisiana in 1847, a public university. 1851, saw the establishment of an Academic Department, the forerunner of the College of Arts and Sciences.

It closed during the Civil War; after reopening, it went through a period of financial challenges. Paul Tulane donated extensive real estate within New Orleans for the support of education; this donation led to the establishment of a Tulane Educational Fund (TEF), whose board of administrators sought to support the University of Louisiana instead of establishing a new university. In response, the Louisiana state legislature transferred control of the University of Louisiana to the administrators of the TEF in 1884. This act created the Tulane University of Louisiana.
