. "Louisiana" does not break the Law, never did.

No I was referring to the term UL.

[Boomer]

LOU is Louisville....

----All this time I thought it was YOU!!! lol

[CajunJack55]

Boomer... we're going to make UL great again. We're going to win so much that you're going to get tired of winning. We're going to build a fence around Louisiana and we're going to make Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas pay for it. Ok?

If we are gonna be Trump does that make the school in Ruston "Lyin Tech"?

No I was referring to the term UL.

No one is prohibited from using the term "UL" except for the school, it does not mean the media (local or national) can't use it. This also does not mean that the school can not push to have the term used by the media and fans.

Well in that case I agree with you

There is a case in the legislature that says common law trumps state law.

I agree on all these fronts, but the situation is that the Sunbelt, nor anyone in the media will use the term UL, When is the last time you saw ESPN or any other network consistently use UL. They don't, they come out with there own acronym, then we get UL-LAF, LA-LAF, etc.

It's time for a change, if we are trying to become Louisiana then we need to abbreviate Louisiana, or use an acronym for Louisiana.

I have gotten to the point where I don't care how they do it LOU, LOUIS, LA, LOUANA, ISIANA, ANA, but we got to do something.

Not arguing this...just arguing the "breaking the law" statement..the school has not broken any law.

---So if the funding isn't there, you do what---that was my question of what can be done now that the money is there for??? I don't think that the school can take out a loan and gamble for success like a business can! The only people that will work for free are Beau and I!!! lol

There are funds available. It's up to our administration to use creative ways of using them.

In regards to your comment about a gamble, any investment is considered a gamble. The key is to have the connicks to pull the trigger and follow through on your decision. The pros far outweigh the cons on this one.

My offer is still out there once I stop this paid gig I've been on. I don't consider it working for free. I consider it investing with no risk. I'm just looking for a commitment from UL to follow through on the Alden report.

The last time was FoxSportsSW during the entire DH with Baylor...and the name of LOUISIANA and UL was identified as our preferred name..There you GEAUX
