I'll guess red, white then red again.. But I hope they wear the gray tops at least once which I think look great.

I think athletics and academics both cross his desk regularly. Athletically we want to be called one thing, academically something else. That being said I have never heard of him calling us Louisiana Lafayette at any function i've been to.

I would think calling someone by their preferred name isn't a big deal. Especially given the fact that some get that some universities already get that treatment. I don't believe that to be too much of a stretch. As with any thing.. there will be those in our corner and those that are not. Its a long term battle that won't be won overnight.

Please call us Louisiana... or The Ragin Cajuns.

Thank you.

I looked up three universities that do not go by their official names. Virginia Polytechnic College and State University (VA Tech), California State University at Fresno (Fresno State), and the University of Nevada Reno (Nevada). All use their popular name in reference to their university both athletically and academically. None of them use "University" with their name. On each academic and athletic website, they use Virginia Tech, Fresno State, and Nevada. Virginia Tech even says they go by the "popular name". Aren't we doing the same thing? There is no reason we can't do that across the board, athletically and academically. If a popular name, Louisiana, is legal without University, it should be legal wherever we use it. We should use LOUISIANA on our academic website just as we do on our athletic website. Our official name remains on all official academic matters. But, like these other schools, we use our "popular name" on all websites, in all references to the university, and all other things less official. That is if our President is so inclined to do so, wherein lies the problem. To keep our "popular name" only for athletics only serves to maintain a divided issue in that regard. It has been 15 years since our name change. Isn't it about time the university takes a firm stand on LOUISIANA?

True true. I guess that makes sense. Any of the video broadcasts I have watched were all at home.

Being that I sat with him at a game at our field in person, I don't get that impression. If he had an agenda, he wouldnt go out his way to watch and write about us. He doesn't just report on the games, he puts us on the home page and has opinion pieces... Very flattering ones at that.

If we are news...it pays his bills for him to write about us. If he likes and respects us...it shouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that he would respect our name wishes. He can be as flattering as our own beat writer...if he can't respect our name...he is just blowing smoke up our asses, and getting clicks on his website.
