MBB Final: Louisiana 82, Richmond 76

Check out their message board. Many are appalled they lost to ULL. Yeah, Richmond board was really into the second L.

I thought that was funny. Other than your basketball program that has not been to the NCAA since 2011 (yeah, you made it to the sweet 16), Richmond isn’t really relevant. FCS football program, etc. I’d dial it back, Spider fans.

I went to the Richmond board and read some basketball threads. Very familiar comments. They desperately want their coach fired. In fact they seem more displeased with him than some of our fans are with Coach Hud.

It was just ironic the Iowa and Wyoming boards did have a few extra L’s but went Louisiana mostly. Why Richmond went that way don’t know. McNeese syndrome I guess

It’s good to see the small steps being made on the name front. Far from over...

Scientific studies have concluded the smaller the stones of the average male from a university, the more frequently they add the second L. Richmond must have a lot of small stones.

Everyone knows what gets under your skin and use it. In a few years it won’t matter. But right now we could actually have a state law naming UL and some would still add the L.

Ever notice that no one uses LA as our abbreviation? Probably never will. Networks seem to like 3 letter abbreviations and go to ULL even when they show and say Louisiana. Sure wish we would drop LA and use ULA. Not totally legal, but who cares. We are being recognized as Louisiana and need a ULA reference to match that, not ULL. Who is going to prevent our use of that reference?

ESPN is starting to use UL for the abbreviation in stat boxes and what not, I'm fine with it

I haven't seen that. Only ULL.

It hasn't even been in use for a year yet.

I'm not surprised.

Louisiana is suddenly ( ) gaining traction. Perhaps its because of tacit memory support from "LA"

As of about week 4 ESPN switched the # from #ULL to #UL. I'm really pleased with ESPN of late.

I have read that there is a possibility that Tech and the Cajuns will play in the NO Bowl. I hope it works out that we play each other. Tech's bowl chances are questionable, but this match up would be good for the NO Bowl. However, I think CUSA determines which teams will be available for bowl selection if there are more eligible teams than games available to the conference. Would your fan base be in favor of this game?
