Another name thread: ESPN no longer has us listed as "Louisiana" on their brackets

[CajunSaint08]

I really don't understand how ESPN or the NCAA can post brackets that have "Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin......" and can't spell the word "Louisiana". How hard is that? It's just so aggravating.

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!

It's being done on purpose...

They'll show folks in the stands. Those folks should have signs. Those signs should say " #WeAreLouisiana ".

Grassroots, man. Grassroots.

Yep, but I bet you those signs say Geaux Cajuns instead.

This is a predictable marketing fail.

Cue the leapord logo......

That question has crossed my mind more than once.

Especially since it was Aaron Martin UL's own Director of Communications and Marketing, who offered up the -never before used, but now prevalent term "UL-L" on a silver platter.

Ironically Dr. Joseph Savoie has never commented on fixing this debacle.

So yeah when I saw how fast UL-L was adopted and who spearheaded it, I question who has the clout to make a media outlet change their use of Louisiana mid stream.

With no SID, I want to interview Aaron Martin

You know where I stand, I believe every faux pas with the name, the logo, the leopards logo, Lafayette this and that starts with Aaron Martin and his happy band in C&M. ESPN, CBS, Fox Sports all have multiple layers to their graphics and promotional/production operations. If the effort isn't being made to protect the brand, to showcase the brand, and ultimately to win and influence a few million folks along the way, then they aren't and have not been doing their jobs. Its not as easy as making one phone call, granted. But over the course of the last 7 or 8 months, something other than what we have now should have been accomplished. Referring to the school as the Lafayette Leopards is an insult. If you're Brand managers can't stop that from happening, they should all be gone. Besides, I think the school should hire IMG College Sports to market, sell, license merchandise, market partnerships etc. They already have a client list of schools, along with Churchill Downs as a client. They put their employees in the athletic department to partner with the school in doing all the things that our school can't seem to do. Look them up, IMG College. Like I've asked before, can we just burn the C&M office down and call it even?

If you are on their site type "Louisiana" in the search box, It recommends 3 schools SMH

Falderall CajunHawk. You should post a picture of Mel Gibson on your avatar CH. You can find a conspiracy in the reason a matress tag has do not remove under penalty of law on it. You are the biggest gagger of gnats & swallower of camel spunk I have ever come across. You believe the whole world is out to get UL-L at the behest of LSU while your own university leadership refuses to allow the name Louisiana to be used in their own stadium during football games when a first down is achieved. Iknow, I know, I know there are little purple & gold gremlins running around the administration building ready to hog tie & make anyone in the administration watch a season's worth of I love Lucy episodes if they dare use the term Louisiana. They even have the phones bugged & ready to shoot jizz out the mouth piece of any phone which gets a voice recognistion match to the name Louisiana. There is just no end to the lengths thes purple leprichauns will go to keep the name Louisiana from being spoken on the campus at UL-L.

I don't think it's necessarily LSU behind the name/ESPN screw-ups. Hell, I picture some dweeb behind a computer who thinks it's funny that ESPN gets emails, tweets, etc. every time they put our name up. But, if you think something screwy isn't at play, then you're not paying attention. Can ESPN really be that incompetent? They amount of times they screw up the logo alone is quite telling.

Regarding the Leoperd logo, I believe most of the time this is probably done by an unpaid twenty year old intern from the Northeast who probably has very little knowledge of who we are. He reads Lafayette on a prep sheet and types that into the database and finds Lafayatte logo..then puts it up. Notice that it usually only happens on lower production programming like ESPN 3 and ESPNU.
