Im telling you guys this right now. Tabby has put you guys in a bind. You are in a NO WIN situation and you know it. There is 0 that we are doing that is illegal. NO ONE in the ULS system wants to touch this. Hell in Tabbys article, Dr Bruno tried to distance himself from this "media made" controversy.
I will tell you this. You have gotten lots and lots accomplished with the help of our folks here in S Louisiana. LOTS!! This will come crashing down on you in a heartbeat. Keep pushing this silly, silly issue.
Focus on making ULM and La Tech the best they can be. Trying to meddle in our business makes you look petty and childish.

Misleading headline....keep cooperating with a University 30 miles from you that officially calls itself "The Flagship Of North Louisiana"...a University that BTW considers you an untouchable....and it will hurt you...We schedule everyone else in our system and will continue to schedule ULM even if we happen to get a invite to another Conference....if you think that our use of "Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns" makes you feel like a little sister then that's on you....you have a lot to be proud of ...trying to bring down what your sister University is doing is petty

JUCOIdiot,
Read the article. The title is completely misleading. Dr. Authement says that we should be the University of Louisiana Period.

You make everything up when it comes to THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA!! Typical LouisianaJUCOfan!! Have your written enough emails? You and Frank Hoffman must be Bu@@ Brothers!!
I love all of this. I think Louisiana sounds great, and so that's what I use. I can understand both sides. I can see wanting to brand yourself in a fresh way, but I don't understand the hate for ULL. It's who you are as a university, and who you were as atheltics. We are TROY, in all caps, but Troy State is fine. We have a ton of pride in who we used to be, so you'll rarely here anyone complain when we are referrenced as Troy State. I love it, as do most of us.
The issue here isn't about what's legal and what's not. What Louisiana fans will never understand is that how you present yourselves is what determines the level of respect you get. When the name change was first proposed on this board, it was shoved down our throats with all kinds of personal attacks and demands. Had you guys gone about this differently, you would have gotten a much better response. New forum members got blasted for using "ULL" when they were unaware of the "policy" laid down by Lousiana fans. ULM fans will always have a bone to pick, so that's a different issue all together.
Garbage In – Garbage Out. Louisiana fans came with a piss pour "get in line" attitude and you were met with the same attitude in return. This is the main point of distinction. Understand that and maybe you'll see why you're getting so much backlash from members who aren't located in Louisiana.

It isn't just board animosity. People in Louisiana get annoyed with this in general conversation. I was at a party last night for alum and a ULL grad said UL and well just stared. Eventually someone said "why are you bringing up Louisiville?" and it had me rolling. Another person (a professor) then said "she meant Ooooh la la" and I lost it.

A party with a bunch of academic pinheads? Sounds marvy. Its a shame there was no one there with a spine to shut you clowns down. You definitely have the academic side taken care of, what with all the money from your grads on the East Coast... You too need to worry about your athletics... Moving to an on campus stadium wont mean squat if only 50 people continue to show up to your games. BTW, pray you lose the rest of your games or be the champions of CUSA, cause right now you're on a collision course with UL in the NO bowl. Our 50K vs your 10K(maybe) and The fact that we will brutalize the Green Wave will make it an ugly Christmas season for you.
