From the Bird's Nest: If you're going to run a conference tournament...........

rhineaux I can't remember exactly but I heard WW thinks there are 4 U's in his initials.

I wonder if there might be another league that would call us Louisiana and UL on all official conference media?

I want to get to the point where everyone just refers to us as WINNERS in every sport!

[Cajunsmike]

_ The real issue is getting out of the same conference with ULM.

If we were in lets say CUSA, not only would the CUSA commish grant our wishes, he would be just as in favor of it as we are.

Being named Louisiana is not only a benefit to the Cajuns, its also a benefit to the conference.

Of course WW is too stupid to realize that. _

Every school in the SBC wants to be in CUSA. Of course LA Tech does as well. We need to keep that in mind while we try to improve our own league.

_ I think everyone should man up and have a duel of sorts. Let's take the head to head results from every sport between the two schools starting next year.

Winner gets their way with the name. If we can't beat them on the field consistently enough to claim that title then the league is more than welcome to UL-L & Lafayette us to death and I'll keep my mouth shut. _

Basis of the name change was heavily related to academics and not athletics. That is still the case today.

_ Who thinks we will still be talking about this name thing 10 years from now? I do. _

I agree this will still be an issue in 10 years. In 100 years it may not be. I am not using the triple figure as a joke. It in fact may take that long and we need to be prepared to address it for quite awhile. Being in a league without ULM would help of course but I don't see that day on the horizon any time soon.

Little late to the name party, but this..

But Commissioner Wright Waters is adamant that the Cajuns be referred to as UL.L, to the point where he issued an edict to member schools instructing them to refer to the school as UL.L. He has done the same thing with television announcers who broadcast Sun Belt games. During the broadcast of the championship game the school was referred to consistently as UL.L or Lafayette.

Well is is safe to assume that we would want a new commish??? I don't know what kind of job he actually does but I know with the League headquartered in NO we get no press and that is not good!!!! So what are the steps that need to be taken for his removal--At whom's pleasure does he serve---I would think the presidents of the universities and/or ADs!!!!! A swim across the bayou starts when you jump in---We must watch out for the snakes and gators however!!!!

Me too. It sure is getting old.

Nation, Nation, Nation. You are the ONLY person left who continues to pimp for the WAC. I'm worried about you.

[CajunSaint]

_ All year the brackets looked like this "[ ]" then suddenly come tourney time they looked...
... like this "L 7" then Wright Waters got involved and they looked ...
... like this "LL"
