Legislation thread

I don't care what LSU calls themselves; it's irrelevant. I do care about what people call us.

It's funny seeing the narrative turn on The A&M college. Other fanbases openly laugh at their pettiness in all of this. I don't think there is a single fanbase in America other than the one in BR that openly complains or throws fits on how another school brands itself. It's comical and also sad.

I think Mickey Neese and La Tech (loly Poly) are contemptible towards us using Louisiana

………Jay, just wonder if after Lafayetteing us if somebody would refer to lsu as just state….I think this would cause the biggest uprising ever in the whole deal….then if we only referred to them like on the scoreboard as “State”…….So Jay, I know you won’t and guess it would only cause a worsening situation for us…..but but but ….just think of the stuff you could stir!

I am not that petty… And I have no desire to stir anything

The best thing we can do now is quit bringing it up when they use it like it's some big deal. If they think we "Won" they will revert back. Let's focus on winning on the field! Success is what got us to this point. R1/football top 25 seasons, baseball/softball, basketball success etc...when we win we make our state look good and god knows this state needs all the help it can get. We are Louisiana and we represent Lafayette & Louisiana nationally as the second largest public state University.

Verne Lundquist would call them Louisiana state all the time and their fans hated it for some odd reason. One of their main arguments they always use is why are you so ashamed to use Lafayette? You should be proud of the city! Yet they don’t use the same logic when being referred to as “Louisiana state”

It's hilarious to see the hypocrisy on that to the point where one of their marketing guys tweeted out "Do not call us Louisiana State." It was funny watching a few Cajun fans catch that and give him a hard time.

What is ironic in all of this is they do exactly what they accuse us of doing. "LSU" is a shortened version of their official name nor is "Louisiana State University." Funny how that works.

Can someone please explain to me what is preventing our school from using "University of Louisiana" academically? Why do we not put that on our academic branding or our diplomas? That seems like the obvious final piece of the puzzle to me.

Because the state legislature banned that through a ridiculous law in order to protect LSU.

Ok - so what happens if we do it? Lose funding I assume?

The war is over. Louisiana is the victor.
