But wait!!! That is how the Cajuns could get back the 13 alleged burglars. If UL police and not the ULL police made the arrests, then would that be a false arrest since there is no UL police department per state mandate.

The snowflakes are the Ruston people who freak out anytime refers to us by our correct and legal name.

So you are stating that UL is your legal name? The law states otherwise. No one from Tech is "freaking out." No one at Tech gave a damn until your fans dragged us into your name game when Tech chose to stay out of the name change game.

Again, and for the millionth time.....not that this will ever sink into your psyche:
1. yes, it is 'illegal' for the university to refer to itself as UL.
2. No, it is NOT ILLEGAL to use the stand-alone name of 'Louisiana.' And you can never quote any law that states otherwise.

But bottom line is, we ALL KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HATE UL AND THE HUGE ISSUE YOU HAVE WITH OUR NAME. It is your 'right' to have whatever feelings/opinions on the matter. But for god's sake stop litigating this on each and every thread you post on.

Instead, channel all that hatred, fear and loathing into your lawsuit, because that is the only thing that will ever bring you satisfaction.

If you can't discern the law's intent, that is your lack of understanding. Like I said, if you will cut and paste, which you are so fond of doing, the law granting your name change I will counter your opinion point by point. Yeah, maybe the law is poorly written (I don't agree that it is), but its intent is clear.

No, Tech did not turn down a bid to the 2012 Indy Bowl. We were never offered a bid. Tech's stance was consistent since discussions were initiated by the Indy Bowl folks, approximately when there were three games left to play in the regular season. Discussions are bids. Also, if Tech had said give us a bid and we will accept, it is extremely likely that had one been accepted that early, ULM would never have been offered a bid. Besides, your argument does not make sense considering ULLs false claim of an earlier Indy Bowl bid situation.

ULLs obsession with their name and what they are called is irrational considering you lobbied for, coerced NLU to go along with you, and lead the legislature to believe you folks would comply. You claim Lafayette is the greatest city in La., if not the USA, but don't want it recognized. That is a juxtaposition.

You know I have called the Cajuns Louisiana for a while. Now that I know how much it eats you up then I will enjoy it even more. Why are you here techie....mercy. No one gives a rip about you or your views . Idiot.

Did not see that coming.

But it's LaTech and ULL arguing, ULM has stayed pretty quiet about it.

Yep, but it was started by an @ruston fan, who.....other than the name issue.....has zero connection or true concerns with anything to do with the SBC or any of its schools.

Why do you continue to knowingly make false claims? You know I am an alumnus of a member institution of the SBC. You seem to attempt to portray you know more about me than I do. And, in an attempt to circumvent any other asinine comments or questions, my allegiance is to Louisiana Tech University because that is where I spent my college years and Tech is my primary alma mater. I grew up attending many functions at Louisiana Tech since my childhood. Also, though you discount its importance to me, I attended many functions at YOUR alma mater because of my strong family ties to that institution. I always liked your school until finding out, in the last few years, how your grads feel about Tech. Believe me, I was surprised, as, in my view, your hatred is irrational.

Yes, it is. It is your only allegiance. And that is abundantly clear to anyone/everyone who reads your posts.
The only thing that rates higher than that is your irrational hatred of UL, our city and people.
You have zero real attachment to ULM or the SBC.
That's why, in posts like the one or two above you clearly said:
"Why have you folks apparently rolled over in the name game."
Someone who really feels part of the organization would say "Why do WE....."
And if you really had any respect, empathy or good will for us you would not be constantly citing a bogus 'survey' that calls us 'ignorant.'
Peace, man, peace.

I don't hate ULL, Lafayette, or its people. Don't blame me for what you think. Yes, I have an attachment to ULM. Because I didn't roll over. Again, don't blame me for what you think. What bogus survey did I cite, and when did I call any one ignorant. If you are talking about the Forbes article, I read it on RP. I didn't call anyone ignorant, if anyone did it was them. I just said you disputed it because you didn't like it. Yet, you take as gospel an article you read that appeals to you. So, stop saying I say things I didn't.

Nothing I have written in this thread has been personal. Why are you so intent on making it personal?

You folks started the thread about ULM. Being an alumnus of NLU (now ULM) it interested me. That is certainly understandable.

I understand the English language. I consider your and others unfounded and irrational criticisms of Tech drivel, as there is no basis in fact. So, the only way to answer drivel is with drivel. It can't be done any other way.

As I have offered, post the law that allowed the name of USL to be changed to ULL and I will be glad to point out how your school's use of UL and/or Louisiana is contrary to the law.

What do you mean you "never 'changed our name'?" It has been changed twice in my lifetime (or that I remember). Maybe it was changed not by the university but by a governing body. I don't know, so your semantics may be correct.

Louisiana Tech's last name change was in 1970 when our name was changed from Louisiana Polytechnic Institute to Louisiana Tech University.

I'm still unsure why you @ruston boys give two flying Fs about another school's name.
Anyway, no one has a problem with being in Lafayette. I've been to ruston and the nicest thing I can say about your town is you have an Appleby's. Seriously. That's as good as it gets up there.

No, your legal/proper name is UL@L. Not UL, not Louisiana. The law specifically precludes the use of either. No one has shut me down. You just spread nonsense. I asked that you not be banned from BBB when you recently started posting as "ULM2009." I even asked that you be allowed to use LCF, I "Shonuff" did. What happened? How does your divided loyalty between the ULXs work?

So no shame there. We just like the nickname "Louisiana".

We not only like it, but it is perfectly legal and appropriate.
That's why our own conference refers to us as such, as does the NCAA, numerous other national media outlets, etc.
Heck fire, man, even ULM supports us on this issue, and if anyone would have a complaint about it, it would be them.
It is only those with irrational hatred and idiotic jealousy of us that will not accept these facts.
