Opponents view: Red hot Ragin' Cajuns bring lofty ranking to Troy this weekend

Anybody read the article? The coach said "Lafayette" in a quote in the article. The writer never called us Lafayette.

And how joyous it is to open a thread about how good our baseball team is only to find that its yet another name thread. Yippee!!!!

I do not think understanding of human nature means being negative. It provides one with the clarity to explore options that will work. Wishing a coach won't give you a diminishing name is against all human nature. Many UL coaches do not say ULM, but instead MoanROW. All I am saying at the most basic core is not to get bent about it, we cannot control it, move on.

What league?

CUSA with Tech?

AAC with Tulane?


There will be just as much name interference from those two as from ULM, probably more because they each have much more political pull than ULM.


Only way we get full conference support on the name issue is to join the MWC, MAC, or a completely new conference that does not contain Tech, Tulane or ULM.

I don't think so. Teck & TU don't have the same argument, they don't have the same name. And the other conference members should (should) want the best-sounding opponents they can schedule.

It's true, but I never understood that.

It does nothing for you and only cements "Lafayette"

Coach Robicheaux used "Western" to refer to wku in an interview. I doubt they like to be called that.

I think it's fairly common for coaches to shorten the names. And not necessarily in a way that raises your opponents perceived stature. Subconscious or not, who knows.

"W" Club is their prefered reference for the Hall of Fame. Not sure how they feel about stand alone "Western"

[CajunDreDog]

I believe they like "Western".
