    That is absolute garbage! Is it going to be Lafayette everywhere or Ragin' Cajuns?

    Come off the ledge. Take a deep breath. The name war is won, we've still got some isolated name warriors in more and more isolated battlefields.

    The bottom line. The name means more to us than the enemy. It'll never be a Japanese type win but their numbers continue to shrink.

    I'm butt hurt because we get ESPN to comply but they green light a change within the SEC Network.

    If that is true, then this is pretty damn funny. School with $100 Million dollar athletic budget seriously worried about what a school with a $25 Million athletic budget is called?

    Wow.

    That’s sort of the point of why they’re so petty. Remember, this is the same group of people who throw out conspiracies that the SEC is out to get them everytime they lose a game.

    I don’t think it is pettiness as much as legitimate competition over an intersecting market. Any momentum we pick up comes at their expense, especially being we are 50 short miles away and have a unique brand based in Acadiana culture.

    Their concern was the use of Louisiana on the SEC network; consider it too close to the Louisiana State brand. You fight the battles the are worth it, the SEC network is going to support one of their members when it concerns sports branding. ESPN and other networks have agreed with our branding request, this is still a huge win for our program.

    That lame excuse is such BS. Too many U of and State U schools around the country with no identity issues. Especially when they use LSU instead of Louisiana State.

    Not sure why they are worried, they are LSU, not Louisiana State.

    It’s a B💩 excuse. They simply don’t want us to have an identity that sounds like it’s statewide.
