Our announcers for last Tuesdays game are the same for the stAte game..
One of them is a gent named Joe Davis. Joe was asked via Twitter this evening why the refused to use our preferred athletic branding, Louisiana or UL. Here is his response to numerous Cajun fans...

From @JoeDavisESPN

@CajunsRagin again, it's not my decision what we call you. Whole thing is driven by your conference. Don't shoot the messenger!

@STLMORAGINCAJUN issue isn't with LSU. It's with ULM. Has nothing to do with sucking up to anybody.

@STLMORAGINCAJUN FOX doesn't have a deal with the Sun Belt like ESPN does. Have to play by SB's rules for healthy relationship.

@CajunsRagin @billbeck451 I'm employed by a company partnered with the sun belt.

@billbeck451 it's not ignoring it. We're fully aware. It's all driven by the sun belt.

The hypocrisy of Karl Benson and The Slum Belt conference is absurd.
ULM = Big Lots U.. nuff said.

You seem surprised by this Z. Its been pointed out on here before ad nauseum that almost every single athletic department calls you guys ULL.

That's been done long before Karl Benson ever came into the league.

Decided to check... Apparently, our Athletic Department does not call them ULL

http://www.txstatebobcats.com/schedule.a...h=football

In the box score, we apparently refer to them (shortened name) as UL.

I did some double checking on the schedule. You guys are the only ones. ASU's been calling them ULL officially since we first started playing them. Heck some of our administrators call them La La. Just a habit.

At the spring meetings everyone is asked what they prefer to be called by the media. We are the only ones who are not allowed to use oue preferred branding. This guys actually spells out why. You dont see a problem with this?

Surely there are folks on this board without an agenda that see this as being a real problem?

Whats clear is that Benson licks the ass of a school that brings 0 to the table. Cathey, you spend half as much time trying to bring your school up to the mediocre level as you do trying to keep us from being Louisiana then maybe y'all wouldnt be teetering on the edge of financial ruin.
Benson has ESPN running scared, not so for Fox Sports and others and no matter how much Tabby and the Newstar whine about it, nothing will change. All this points out is how childish you guys are.
We will pound you unmercifully in Lafayette this year. I hope you are there to witness the carnage.

This is no longer humorous. You guys tried to athletically brand yourselves as Louisiana in the early 2000's....No one in the administration of UL gave a damn....you fell on your face...Tell your administration to keep it up...in the end you will be hurt politically....

I 100% understand why you'd want to market yourselves as UL, but from my perspective until "Lafayette" is officially dropped from your schools name, it won't stick.

I know I've mentioned this before on here but I lived in New Orleans for a few years (2008-2011) and only a few times did I hear someone mention the "University of Louisiana" which was quickly followed by a question: Which one? Lafayette or Monroe?

It's just reality I'm afraid, this will be a LONG battle for you guys. I'm rooting for you though.

I feel like we're Clark Griswold, and ULM is cousin Eddie.

RE: Our announcers for last Tuesdays game are the same for the stAte game..
I can completely understand everyone here being tired of the name battle. No one here has any stake in it. That's why I never really fight it when a poster on here refrences us at ULL or Lafayette. It's very frustrating for us, because it's something many of our alums, including myself are passionate about.

With that being said, kudos to ULM and now the SBC for successfuly opposing our wishes. My only deal with Karl Benson now is that when you come to Lafayette, or have a press conference here don't call us UL or Louisiana in our press conference. Have the sack to call us ULL or UL-Lafayette since that's what you are doing everywhere else. The biggest detriment to our branding goal is being included in a conference with ULM. Thus, it is imperative that we separate from them as quickly as possible. Hindsight is 20/20, but we probalby should have never lobbied for their inclusion in the Sun Belt in the first place. Such is life.

Going forward I can only hope for our separation from ULM. I actually don't mind the SBC. I think it will continue to be a better conference than CUSA for football. But, our institutional goals, obviously cannot be accomplished by being in a confernce with ULM.

Now...if you excuse us we have a conference title to win and another bowl game victory and attendance record to take care of.

Guys, this thread is going to get bounced to the smack folder because content discussing the subject of our name is not allowed. But I will chime in before it is shut down.

Sadly, this is why most of us can't stand ULM or their supporters because are content with complaining and obstructing while playing nice on this board. Its clear that the Sun Belt Conference officials including Benson have played along with this and have shown why our unversity should have no commitment long term to this conference.

What you have stated has absolutely 0 to do with the matter at hand. One school has the ear of the Conference dictator, the other school has 0 say so. That's the problem here. Whether the Too lame boobs in NO or the Tiger turds in BR call us UL or Louisiana has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
A school that brings nothing to the athletic or academic table is dictating what we are called.
is that right?

you might want to win that conference title before you "dominate". Because there have only ever been 3 teams to dominate the conference and none of them are from Louisiana...
