Her twitter says it all.
Until the politically designed ULS, a system way larger than the LSU system, quits infighting and unites behind the only R1 university in the system and each university kicks their local legislators in the nuts to get their attention, nothing will ever change.
Look you don’t have to love us, but if you want to work and succeed in this area you should at least respect this University.
I had a conversation with the WBRZ director personally on Saturday. Very close to the family and you wouldn’t believe the stuff he has to deal with when they use UL or Louisiana. It’s not just from fans. It’s from the LSU board and many politicians. They have been threatened multiple times. So when the Cajuns beat lsu in baseball and KATC used UL Lafayette instead of Louisiana like they normally do, they rightfully got called out and all the lsu fans mocked and criticized Cajuns fans for pointing out the issue. Yet here we are with this blatant hypocrisy and disrespect. Who are the petty ones now?
Thank you so much for posting this. The idea of “we won” the name fight is far from over. Don’t stop and don’t ever give up.
And my goodness…”the LSU board and politicians”. This is exactly what is wrong with Louisiana. With UL earning the R1 status, you can bet those tools want to take or sabotage what UL has now. They’ve done it to UL before, they’ll do it again. Maybe they’ll outlaw any university other than TSAB pursuing excellence.
