Hmmmmm......

UL not permitted according to state law

State law does not say that ULL is correct. Show me in the law that says that ULL is correct.

PS- GEAUX UL!

It says you can't use U of L without the L

L is not the city designation, so ULL is incorrect according to the state law.

More importantly, Louisiana is not against the law.

Thanks for playing.

LOL!! an unbiased article by Tabby Soigner of the MONROE NEWSTAR?? Go figure...

This is a battle that will not be won by ULM. Our legislators and the UL system have much bigger problems to deal with... They are slowly starting to alert Ms Tabby to that fact.

Can you let the universities in Louisiana argue amongst themselves? We don't need any input from unconcerned parties, especially in the form of a new thread on the SBC board.


ETA: My favorite Tabby cry-baby article (Have to subscribe to that trash to read it though)

2nd Edit: Lol

I think Mr picture man is talking about us Topper fans


but what he doesn't realize...no one would cry a tear if GSU was gone or better yet never came

What the article, written by a "Green Eyed Monster", fails to mention is that the University of Southwestern Louisiana legally changed its name to "The University of Louisiana" in 1984. The state law was in response to a lawsuit filed by Louisiana State alumni and ruled on by a judge who was also a Louisiana State alum. The law was simply an effort to control growth of our university. I grew up a Louisiana State fan but no longer consider myself a fan since learning the truth. There is probably not another state in the union that has laws restricting the naming of a public university. By the way, their name is not Louisiana State University, it's Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College. Try putting that on a uniform.

Same here. Long ago I was a rabid LSU fan. My dad worked for the LSU system but graduated from Tulane. One of my borthers was an LSU law school grad.

I graduated from then-USL and was always very proud of the school. It's a fine school with a beautiful campus.

When all this SHTF and I saw the power LSU brought to bear on the issue, they lost me. Wouldn't piss on 'em today if they were on fire.

Go Cajuns, go Wave!!!!

I know where y'all are coming from and understand how much it sucks what happened to y'all in the 80's, but y'all have to see it from our point of as well. Y'all needed us to except the UL name as well in the late 90's to get that tag again and the law was set up to keep any university from attain it by themselves. You can guarantee by who too. I'd rather y'all attained it the 80's and then we would of stayed NLU and avoided all this drama.

By LSU, do you mean State College, or perhaps Louisiana A&M? Please refer to them by their proper name and encourage all who agree to do the same.

That's right. But, we call ourselves Louisiana, without U of, so we are not in violation. So says the head of the UL System. The common denominator of all schools that have city tags but don't use them athletically is no "U of". Examples are Nevada (Nevada Reno), Texas (Texas at Austin), Minnesota (Minnesota Twin Cities), Nebraska (Nebraska Lincoln), Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), Georgia Tech (Georgia Institute of Technology), Louisiana (Louisiana at Lafayette).

I can see the point about using UL we are not the university of Louisiana. The University does use the correct name but us fans choose to use UL that's politically not correct got that. But just like you, we as SBC members have the right to brand our athletics how we see fit. Calling ourselves Louisiana Ragin Cajun shouldn't offend anyone. Heck if you want to be Louisiana Warhawks I wouldn't have a problem with it. Its just a name. To me the fuss is all about nothing. Its like your parents naming you Thomas but you go by Tom we still know you are Thomas. But your friends and colleagues may refer to you as Tom.

I think it's rich that someone from Kentucky presumes to know Louisiana law.

Here's the thing, if we are wrong about Louisiana, then ULM please feel free to try us on it. Only remember this, the only time you get anything done from the state is with our considerable assistance. You try us on this and you won't get any help from us any more.

The Louisiana state legislature in the nineteen century created the only University of Louisiana located in New Orleans. Later Paul Tulane gave a mega donation to the university and in his honor the legislature converted it from a public to a private institution and added the word Tulane before the name to become as it is now Tulane University of Louisiana. It is humorous to watch the community college tier 2 academically directional school in a mini tv market area with a very low yearly athletic budget in one of the worst conferences in the nation try to usurp this hollowed name illegally.

What is humerious? My vote goes to Tulane fans thinking the Big12 wants another private university because of it's academics! They are not interested in a poor performing AAC program that can't deliver more then 17,000 freaking fans in the Super Dome and is third in attendance in their own backyard behind LSU and UL! Now that's freaking hilarious!
