2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[Crowley Cajun]

I see that Todd Huckleberry Finn could have stayed out of the fray, but decided to put bulletin board material out there.
"I understand what they've tried to do. From what I understand its against state law to do it, but I guess it doesn't go over to athletics. I guess their university doesn't deal with the athletic program and they can do what they want."

I hope Hud sees this somehow and puts a 40 burger on them.

And that LTUR fan stating that all universities should be worried? You know you're losing an arguement when you have to start pulling other people into your fight.

Only 40?

I'd be disappointed if we only hung 40 on these frauds.

And on the LTUR board, it appears that some think that the media have to follow the statute.

Here's how a professional journalist addresses the issue. Tabby, I know you are reading, I hope you take notes.

Anyone else notice how tabby deleted all the comments on the article from last night??? She is so butt hurt!

This article is pathetic!!! Instead of trying to better yourself, and. Your school, let's just try to bring everyone else down to our level!!! It's like all those evil rich people that need to pay their "fair share" of taxes. Instead of working hard and trying to succeed, let's just try to hurt those who have worked hard and are successful! Worry about you own damn school and quit this obsession of trying to prevent our school from looking any better than yours!!!

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!

I know I saw a link on here sometime back about calling us Louisiana. It was a very well written article and I want to say it was written by our SID.

Does anyone still have that link?

And they DEFINETLY gave our team great pub ... there were several instances where they (and also the guys back at Bristol during halftime) said how dominating we were ... this game could change a lot of things for us.

Now, on to homecoming ... and let's not need Hud to remind us ... invite a friend, even if it is someone else's friend .... let's more than pack the stadium for the rest of the season!

GEAUX CAJUNS!

I have not seen anything from our University stating that we are wanting to brand ourselves Athletically as "UL". I do know that we officially wish to brand ourselves Athletically as "Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. That kind of inaccuracy is just what our friends up North need to stir up more false crap. I have also not seen any official move by our University to drop the "at Lafayette" from our full academic name, "The University of Louisiana at Lafayette". We fans and supporters always refer to ourselves as the University of Louisiana. The University never does this as it is against state law. Lets get this right .

What shocks me is the contention that the city tag was somehow something new.

The city tag has always applied to LSU, to USL, to every institution in the state. Somehow they think it only applies to Louisiana and ULM.

Here is a link to a .pdf file I downloaded (then uploaded) many moons ago. university_of_louisiana_system_bylaws.pdf

You beat me to it. Todd Berry is the biggest douchebag of them all in this article. Maybe he should worry abotu his coaching abilities and trying to avoid looking like a fool in national TV. Maybe Tabby should stick to asking sports questions such as "Coach Berry, why did you blitz 11 players in a game that was already lost and leave receivers uncovered to run free to the endzone and make you look like a foolish _____?"

And then there's the Tech fans. You knwo those great "partners" that only have the best interest of ulm at heart. The same Tech fans who refused to play them in all sports because ulm was so beneath them academically and athlettically. The same Tech fans whodreamed of taking over LSUS and its medical school and proclaimed themselves the "flagship" of north Louisiana. The same Tech fans who the stated that as the "flagship of north Louisiana" one of the first orders of business would be to close Grambling, absorb the pharmacy school and close ulm or make it a 2 year feeder for Tech. Yeah, ulm shouldlisten to their great buddies at Tech and worry about what UL calls itself. If they let Tech use them like a sock puppet to do th edirty work that Tech doesnt want to do themselves then they are bigger idiots than I thought.
