No other fans from other schools in our league get mad when the are referred to by a name they don't like. I don't care if people call North Texas, UNT.

If none of our schools have to be called by their names, then I'd Like for North Texas only to be referred to as- North "the Greatest Sun Belt Program" Texas. See what I mean. It's ridiculous.

If fans have to go out of their way to be careful not offend the name of another school, then many will just migrate to another site. Sorry, but it's the truth.

One problem with your statement, that other university chose to brand itself ULM. We chose to brand our athletics "Louisiana". So you don't have a problem with others having self- determination, but the Cajuns can't? Now here is a perfect example of why these discussions continue to show up. Listen to how you sound, I don't have a problem with our brand, but you don't have a right to brand your athletics with your chosen name. Your full of crap son! You can offend, just don't cry when you are offended!

I'm not offended. Just not impressed. I think the more you whine, the less people are going to support you in your argument. People don't like being told over and over what to call your school, or not to call you by your name, son.

If North Texas was trying to brand itself by putting itself in direct competition with another university, and leaving out part of its name, then you would have a great argument. But, we aren't running around demanding to be called "Texas" now are we?

The way I see it, there are 9 other schools in this league that don't whine about how they are addressed on this board. ULL is the abbreviation for the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Why should we have to cater to ULL?

We aren't demanding you call us anything, we are saying if you feel it neccesary to offend someone, don't complain when you are insulted. Even you should understand that basic principle.

The way I see it, there are 9 other schools in this league that don't whine about how they are addressed on this board. ULL is the abbreviation for the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Why should we have to cater to ULL?

Why would the 9 other schools have a reseason to complain, they have branded their athletics with chosen names? Even a person with your obvious lower mental capacity should understand that.

Gentlemen, let's move on. I believe this particular topic has been discussed on several different occasions in several different threads.

Wow...

I'm not going to resort to name calling or belittle the quality of education people receive at ULL. I'm sure it is a fine university, with many wonderful fans and alumni, but you are not one of them.

You didn't have to resort to name calling, you clearly showed from the beginning of this thread that you were bias on the topic and there is no middle ground because it is beneath you to respect others request. Save your lecture for someone who cares.

Z,

The one and only good thing that may come from this thread, is developing a stronger rivalry between our schools. I don't really believe North Texas has a true rivalry in the Sun Belt. I still have no problem with your school, but for me, next seasons football game will have some extra meaning. I'm looking forward to it.

A check of the on line editions of major newspapers in Louisiana, Monroe News State, Shreveport Times, Alexandria Town Talk, Baton Rouge Advocate, and New Orleans Times Picayune (I excluded the Lafayette paper due to their bias) this morning shows ULL, UL Lafayette, Louisiana Lafayette mentioned NUMEROUS times with excellent coverage of events in past few days. Nowhere but nowhere was THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA ever mentioned. Could it be that is a myth in someones mind, a figment of imagination? Branding may be working but not within the state of Louisiana.

Fifty, yes thats fifty, of the fifty two posts on this matter had already been raecorded before I made my ONE post on the matter. How do you regard this as MY agenda when I am only one insignificant poster. Is it because I post documented information that ruffles your feathers or what. By the way, do you think the New Iberia newspaper only a few miles down the road from ULL will ever buy into this name myth? So far you are still ULL or UL Lafayette.
