Let The Political Correctness Begin

[Turbine]

Well that obviously matters. This doesn't. They didn't use ULL. They didn't use UL-Lafayette. They called us "Cajuns" which just so happens to be our name. Please take a step back and realize how unbelievably petty this is.

Out of context it matters not.

In context https://forumeus.com/...-for-Louisiana it matters.

I honestly can't think of anything less important in the whole universe than what name they put on the marquee out at the athletic complex. It has no bearing on anything. Nothing. It doesn't matter. At all. Don't reply to this saying it does matter. Because it doesn't. Don't lie to yourself. This is outrageously petty. For the love of God go find something else to think about.

Look, I'm not hard up on the name issue as others on here. I'll just simply refuse to engage with someone who refers to us as ULaLa or Lafayette college.

However, I DO think it is important, if we are serious about the Louisiana Ragin Cajun branding for athletics, that our administration not misplace its testicles on the announcing of a "Louisiana First Down" and other areas where we would otherwise use the branding of "Louisiana" on Game Day.

I think we ought to adjust our tradition slightly, and perminantly...
PA says: "That's another, first down!"...
Crowd yells: ... "LOUISIANA!"

This is how to do it. How the University keeps face and we WIN.
I say, this is the way to do it when we play maonrow

Frankly, we fail at Marketing. We need to send a consistent branding message, regardless of who we upset.

I have no problems with Cajuns on the score board, but if they say "that's another Cajuns" I will not say first down. I hope the stadium goes quite. No one should say first down unless they say "Louisiana"

The problem here you will only a handful saying Louisiana because the rest of the fans have no idea about name problems.......It will take the cheer leaders with cards to inform the fans. That's the way it's been done for years. The male cheer leaders with the mega-phones across the sidelines. How do other schools have the crowds cheers? It didn't happen with one game. It took time. These cheer leaders need to be informed about this. Or maybe the SBC have guide lines on what they can and can not say........

No problem, just thought maybe I was missing something and I can understand your frustration. Lets all take out on ULLM on Saturday.

We are all in this together. GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!!!!!!!

This could be an interesting game beyond the field of competition.

Sometimes the visiting president is a guess of the home president, and if the fans are stirring the pot, it could make for interesting conversation between the university leaders.

All the off the field stuff originates from Moanroe and their newspaper's reporter. If the Monroe President now has a problem, he should complain to her first.

That said, again, I think we will learn ALOT about President Joseph Savoie Saturday.
