2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

Whatever transpires from this, we do need to be able to find a national outlet ... maybe we can shame our "leaders" into doing the right thing ... for once.

[moorecajun]

And by "our leaders", I am referring to political, not at the University ... but I hope/trust they will do the right thing every time!

I don't see any way any of them would be willing to negotiate anything. We just need to keep on keeping on.

[CajunNation]

Oh, that's an easy one.

As soon as we are in a conference without ULM (and preferably without Teck, though that may take longer), it's over. The conference members will want us called The University of Louisiana because it sells more tickets.

When that happens, the media will also call us The University of Louisiana.

After that, what LSU or ULM or Teck thinks amounts to bupkus.

ULM in SBC

Teck in CUSA

Tulane in AAC

All of them will do the same thing...be whiny little pansies.

The MWC or a new SWC without Teck or Tulane is the only way we will not receive interference from within the conference.

I wonder if they realized that this non-sense would do nothing but re-charge our batteries!

If the state law is amended then I have lost all respect to the politicians in Baton Rouge. We need a group of lobbyist and lawyers in the Louisiana state legislature if the issue is pushed in Baton Rouge. We are not violating any law!

If a law is passed saying we can not use Louisiana then it is violation of the 1st amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The term Louisiana is not a reference to anything not even this great state we live in, it is a general term. I want this issue to be brought up to the United States Supreme Court if this happens. I would go all the way to the top!

You would think they would rather be skull drug by Louisiana instead of being skull drug by a directional school

It's a policy of the UL system. But it says nothing about referring to yourself as "Louisiana".

Tabby is upset about a team that HER team did not even play last night because of some TV exposure. Whatever. After the crap they said to us before we waxed that team's rear end last year, nothing would make me happier than for a nice victory against them here, and for the rest of ULM's community to tell her to just give it up.

So, all we have to do to comply with that and brand effectively is to avoid acronyms altogether, and never use the word "university.". The SID and the athletic dept have done exactly that.

How about for homecoming the university or someone or individuals make signs saying WE ARE LOUISIANA. In red and white. Cc

I spent the night in Munro last night. Woke up this morning in this story is the front page story. It has really gotten these peoples craw that we are now called Louisiana
