That is a sad and pathetic obsession . . Louisiana

A whole lot of not caring going on in Ruston......................... LOL

Out of state and have no dog in the fight. But.......ULM has officially accepted its name as ULM. They (the school president) officially gave up the fight to Louisana several months ago. A school has the right to call itself what they choose IMO. From an image standpoint, I much prefer Louisana over a regional name such as ULL. Especially when there is a school with a similar name. Eliminating one directional name makes ULM seem less directional and more significant to me.

We gave up the flight as in we realized that no one was going to call them on their use of the term of Louisiana and decided to do our own stuff. They will never actually be the University of Louisiana. It is more likely that the state bans their athletic use then them being UL. The Tech stuff is petty but ULL fans are pretty damn annoying sometimes as well

There are definitely a lot of fans that would get all bent out of shape over this stuff. I don't lose any sleep over the name deal; but that is the direction my alma mater has chosen, so "Louisiana" it is for me. As an "older" alum and fan, I would have been fine with keeping the old USL moniker but simply changed "southwestern" to "south"; much like South Florida. It's frustrating the way the entire name change thing went down back in the 80's; but, welcome to Louisiana politics I guess!

I’m fine with being Louisiana-Lafayette academically, similarly to North Carolina being North Carolina-Chapel Hill or Tennessee being Tennessee-Knoxville. As long as we are Louisiana when it comes to athletics.

Looks like the work of stoogedog

I understand but...........ULM did give up the fight. ULM fans would not like some small school in Penn. being called Monroe college? Let there be peace!

I'm all for them resorting to that if it reduces the name debates.

The University of Nevada-Reno was happy with it. Its now the University of Nevada. Totally difference with UNLV. The Vegas name is magic. To each its own and properly so.

There is of course Louisiana College. Fans haven’t given up, but President has. When your top guy gives it up tough for fans to keep up the fight. Bottom line is we need to keep improving our teams, winning games, and building our brand.

Arrowhead, are you going to download the la tech app ? asking for a friend

How many articles about our school do these losers click on? That seems to be going way out of the way for someone they profess to care nothing about.
I guess every time they see Louisiana-Lafayette they are really thinking "Louisiana"!! If I ever see latech, my mind auto-magically changes it to LaTurd.
I wonder if they could develop an extension that reminds them to give the dog some water?
