Please do so.
From what I can gather, I think he is coaching for his job Saturday.

It goes all the way back to 1984 when the university's name was changed LEGALLY, and in the same manner that every university name change took place in the state prior, to the University of Louisiana.
Key people in Baton Rouge enlisted the help of some pathetic individuals in Lake Charles, Ruston and Monroe to lead a political campaign that eventually led to the State of Louisiana government RETROACTIVELY changing state laws governing secondary education so they could strip us of our legally acquired name.
The name battle didn't end that day. It began that day, and we won't stop until we have complete vindication.
I get that and wish you all the best in this battle...but we’re just interested in making fun of Coach Schmedium right now.
Yep. You won't even get a fight from us over that.
There are very few sunshine pumpers left.
The rest of us have our eyes wide open. Attendance v. GS was absolutely putrid. Even worse than Bustle's last home game.
I sorta knew we were in for a long season when the pregame atmosphere for the first home game had none of the excitement that new seasons bring. It honestly felt like a end of season Bustle era crowd even then.
But our new AD did right with the Softball hires, so I can't wait to see what he does for Football.

RE: ULL @ App
Here's a stat for you. Cajuns are 5-6. They are 4-0 when they score first. They are 1-5 when the other teams scores first. Only game that didn't follow the pattern was at Idaho.

Just checked App's - App is 3-0 when they score first. 4-4 when the other team scores first.

By the way, lots of meetings going on right now. I'd say it's 50/50 Hudspeth gets canned today or tomorrow.
I think its pretty 50/50 on the UL vs. ULL thing nowadays and I believe many type ULL to avoid it getting mixed with ULM or University of Louisville

I type ULL because that's the name of the school. I really don't know why they're not USL still. Besides, LA Tech is the premier school in that system.

RE: ULL @ App
Both teams have a lot to play for, senior day for quite a few stars should lend itself to a focus and fired up App team.
Lamb, Nunn, Gossett, Lewis, Fuller, Boggs, Stringer, and Howard (along with Sims who is now out for season) have meant so much to this program. Everyone of them sans Lewis will finish with a minimum of two All-SBC honors.
This is our last recruiting class with some guys brought in under the FCS days, amazing what they accomplished.

I think most of our fans have forgotten this. Cox and Lamb, both record setters, were FCS recruits. It is truly amazing what they have accomplished. It also makes me excited about the potential of the recruits down the road.

Seriously, the name of the school is The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Like The University of Louisiana at Monroe. Should just go ahead and change all the names in the system to UL at Hammond, Natchitoches, Thibodaux, Lake Charles, Grambling, etc.
Louisiana Tech is the only Tier 1 University in the system so it makes since to distinguish their name from the others.
ULL is exactly the same as most of the Directional U's in the SBC, CUSA, and MAC that began as A&M's and Teacher Colleges. Trying to pose as something different through renaming is comical.

Speaking of directional, the correct use of "since" would be "sense".

Tech could have also been University of Louisiana at Ruston. Where do you think the "tech" came from. It started as a technical college. It was referred to as Lolly Polly for years.

We could have, but unlike your school, we've never been ashamed of our university's name. We've been around since 1894, and we've been known as Louisiana Tech for generations. Please keep the name nonsense between ULL and ULM. Nobody else wants to listen to such drivel.
