John Bel Edwards calls them UL.:D

He loves the 1L deal.

He said ULL in his election night speech. I don't know what Vitter calls them behind closed doors.

Was that the night he thanked Obama for all the hope and change he had delivered?

That hope and change thing has been 50% done. Unfortunately, doesn't positively answer the other 50%.

I disagree as he has destroyed at least 85% of this countries hopes and dreams.

And the last 15% is hanging by a thread.

I don't disagree. He did the change part (50%) but hasn't delivered on the other 50% (the hope).

The policy clearly states that no ULS school can use "University of Louisiana" without the AT _____________ (city tag), and that prohibition includes athletics. Just as plain, simple, and easy to understand as it could possibly be. No grey area, no ambiguity, nothing left to interpretation or opinion. Nope! says YOU CAN NOT DO IT! Period!

Is it time for a lawsuit? I know Sandra Woodley on a professional and personal basis. I like her, respect the job she is doing, and wouldn't want to drag her into a mess, especially one as silly as a name thingy. Maybe no one has simply spoken to her about this issue, with a, let's say, passion and "we're not gonna take it anymore" attitude.

To be honest, this is the first time I have read the policy. In the past, I have depended on others' comments/opinions of the policy. It is clear.

To make matters worse and more convoluted, the Cajuns claim that according to a statute, Tech's official name is Louisiana Tech University @ Ruston.

To make matters worse and more convoluted, the Cajuns claim that according to a statute, Tech's official name is Louisiana Tech University @ Ruston.

The Cajuns further claim that Louisiana Ragin Cajuns complies with the policy. I'm no lawyer, but the use of Louisiana, which is not addressed in the policy specifically, certainly violates the intent of the policy. The use of "State" implies the school is U of State or State U, which creates the false perception that @ Lafayette is a level above the other schools in the U of L System. At least it does to me, and I find it unethical for the @ Lafayette administration to promote.

In any event, it certainly appears that the law and/or policy is poorly written, and associated State Statutes further confuse the issue, apparently adding @ City to all schools in the U of L System. According to the Cajuns, all member institution's names were changed by the legislature when the Cajuns were granted their request to become a ULX.

The Cajuns claim

It's not a document it's the actual revised statute, which means it's the law. Is that so hard to understand? Facts are facts and the law is the law, I know the law, I get paid to know the law. Now if you find me another statute (law) that's says otherwise I'll listen, until then LTU @ Ruston.

LA RS 17:3217, that is the law

Take the time to read the Whole statute and not just one section citation. Context matters. What you cite isn't granting the names of the schools. It's simply telling who the member schools are and where they're located.

Vitter has called them UL on Twitter. No closed doors needed.

Just call them ULL, their admin doesn't have the backbone to really try and push it, and I believe once T-Boy is out of the ULS board they'll probably get even more conservative. There current stance is that they are University of Louisiana at Lafayette and their nickname/mascot is Louisiana Ragin Cajun's or Louisiana for short....:rolleyes4: So technically they aren't changing their name as they aren't even touching the UL@L stuff. They snuck through an approval to drop the first " 's" from their athletic Louisiana's Ragin Cajun's.

Doesn't really matter though, their main conference media contract is with ESPN and they've apparently created some bad blood with the folks in Bristol and are always listed as UL-Lafayette or ULL and quite often have Lafayette Leopards logo's.

The use of the two-letter University of Louisiana abbreviation, “UL,” and/or the phrase “U of L” are prohibited by the university or any of its affiliated organizations
(alumni associations, development foundations, bookstores, etc.). For academic,
public relations, athletic, as well as other purposes not specified, the use of the

University of Louisiana abbreviation must always include the abbreviation for the
municipal location of the institution.

This is the one they are so blatant about.

I haven't read it yet. I will. Is there a penalty stated for disobeying that law?

Of course not.

This was written for two reasons. To satisfy the lsu legislators who had blocked the first attempt for them claiming UL and to indirectly allow NLU into the Sunbelt.

Then the law is USeLess.

Actually this is the one they have a blatant disregard of:

Quote:

---

All uses of the name “University of Louisiana” must be followed by the word “at”and the institution’s geographic location. No typographic variations within the name
are permitted. The word “at” must be no less than 50% and the geographic location
must not exceed 100% nor be less than 80% of the University of Louisiana name.
Any institutional use of “University of Louisiana” without the “at” and geographic
location is prohibited.

---

They use just "Louisiana" which is not prohibited or mentioned and claim it's an abbreviation of their nickname-Louisiana Ragin Cajun's, but they do the UL at Lafayette, all over the place.

Case in point the ULL license plate:

https://expresslane.dps.louisiana.go...AJINCAJUNS.JPG

The University's name was changed by Act of the Legislature in 1970 the Act No. 102 of the Regular Session can be found in the Acts of the Legislature. I am attaching a photo of the Act. The poor drafting of the legislation creating the ULS system did not effect the name of Louisiana Tech, as this was merely a listing of the schools that would be included in the newly renamed System. So anyone who does post on sites for the Cajuns should refer them to this legislation as definitive.

I would think even a slow reader/learner should be able to understand! ;)

I did, and what you said was my interpretation as well. I wasn't clear enough in that what I wrote was what the Cajuns claim. I have tried pointing out they are not reading the statute in context, but alas to no avail.

I'm just waiting for the day when some cajun sues them because their use of "cajun" is embarrassing to his race.:laugh:

I say let someone else fight the battle. Louisiana Tech is secure. LSU-br and ULM may have something at stake, so let them cry over it in public and we can sit back and watch.

---

I don't know, Chip. Perception is often more compelling than reality, and perception that @ Lafayette is more than they are will affect Tech. ULM jumped in bed with them, held up their end, and should demand @ Lafayette hold up theirs. Though ULM got snookered, they (the ULXs) snookered all of us as the "deal" affects all system schools. I would think were it decided it was a fight worth fighting, there would be a need for a concerted effort by all schools in the U of L System. It may be an irritant to LSU, but of no consequence.

If, as some believe, there were back room deals then that is more of a reason to expose that the whole thing, in effect, was a ploy for @ Lafayette to accomplish what they could not accomplish by honest means.

Won't matter as long as they always play on Tuesday nights and especially is they get back to their old ways and miss bowl games.(could happen this year)

I hope we never see the other 50%!!!!! Obama is a CLUSTERF!!!

I have decided to cheer for ULL and/or ULM in their quest to be called University of Louisiana. Because wins against them would at least 'sound' like a decent accomishment to outsiders.

The average person might say, "Wow this Louisiana Tech team must be good since they beat the University of Louisiana." Texas Tech got a lot of mileage out of beating University of Texas. More than if they beat University of North TX, UT-Arlington, UTEP, etc.

No. Those outsiders would say "Louisiana Tech beat the 'University of Louisiana'? Who the hell is that"?

I give Ray Charles credit for knowing he can't see the sunset. So, to me, it's more akin to a Bulldog and a Ragin Cajun facing West and watching the sun set on the horizon. "What a beautiful sunset," the Bulldog says. The RC replies, "Dam, you a fool. You didn' learn nothing up there at Tech. Thas a sunrise. Eryone knowzat. All ya gotta do it look at da colors in a sky ta know. Ony sunRISE has purty colors. A sunSET is when da sky getting dark."

I saw that post on the RP site the other day. Then, as now, there is nothing, and I mean nothing, in the post to lead me to believe the poster is a lawyer. And if the poster is a lawyer I feel badly for his clients. The part about getting paid to know the law makes me think of Barney Fife.

See my earlier post on the Legislation that changed the name to Louisiana Tech University, Act 102 of 1970. That is the official and controlling law.

Does anybody actually care if they tack on @Ruston to our name. No one else will do it, and I for one am not ashamed of Ruston.

Isn't Grambling also Grambling State University at Grambling following their logic? I guess we could also use just "Louisiana" for our athletics too. Boggles the mind. ..

Grambling State University of Louisiana at Grambling

I always thought if they wanted to get away with the University of Louisiana, USL should have chosen Grambling as their partner.
University of Louisiana at Grambling - they could have kept going by Grambling similar to Fresno State (California State University, Fresno)

On another thread, some UL@L troll was harping on how there is nothing preventing them using just "Louisiana." I decided to have some fun and suggested we:
* retain the State-T logo in all regards
* put Louisiana on the front and Tech on the back of football and basketball jerseys
* put Louisiana on the front and Tech on the back of the baseball and softball teams' caps.
* have "Louisiana" in one end zone and "Tech" in the other.
* start marketing "Louisiana Bulldogs" merchandise.

I rationalized that the above would resolve our "El Lay Tech," "Lah Tech" issues.

Boy, did that guy come back in a HURRY stating we have built an excellent brand it would be foolish of us to change our brand. I enjoyed the heck out of the guy having to acknowledge in writing that we have a great brand that is recognized both locally and nationally. Especially since the guy is one of those saying we are in violation of the law since we don't put @ Ruston on anything. I would have loved to have seen his reaction when he realized how easily Tech could derail UL@L's attempt to claim "Louisiana" as its name.

Nothing in the later law dealt with name change only establishment of the UL System and included a list of schools in the system. Nothing in the statute would act as a repeal of the 1970 Act as it was not an expression of new legislative will on the subject of individual names.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've been meaning to go back and confirm what I remembered. LaLaff people inserted that list. I assume they did it as a play off the mention of a couple of schools used as examples in the real legistation.

Jail house lawyers rarely get the law right.

True. But a RS designating location can be confusing to those that wish it to be, especially considering the ULX nonsense.

Well, after all could the University of Louisiana at Lafayette beat Louisiana Tech University at Barksdale?

So this weekend I had the experience of going to Showcase, which is the big H.S. Marching band competition hosted by Lafayette Music at Cajunfield. Entire time was one long UL (L sic) school of music/band program ad. Thing that got me was man that stadium is bad.

Picture of their "suites" on the main concourse, yes those are basic stud wall with wood paneling on inside, and covered with a tarp/ad on the outside (no wall you can see the studs when the wind blows)

Attachment 13208


I always love the look of their Press box expansion... tin roof and lumber structure ad-hoc added onto stadium.
Attachment 13209

Finally I found out what they did with the Recruting Zone trailers, moved them to an empty lot and now the "Red Zone" fan store on 1805 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70503 (please note this is no where near Cajun Field, or Earl K Long, or Cajun Dome...)

Did you get a chance to go inside the new 100k sq ft recruiting trailer? You are correct our stadium was built in 1971 and can use major upgrades, which are coming in the next couple of years. The ironic thing is you are talking bad about the stadium in Lafayette as if yours is better. You ever hear of the pot calling the kettle black. The Joe is a dump as much as Cajun field is a dump. When it is up graded the luxury suites will be from goal line to goal line not in the end zone.

No I didn't go into the new prison expansion/distraction, did notice it was butt-ugly from the outside though...

Sure they are, ya'll still in the double secret probation portion of fundraising?

Yes our's doesn't have wooden frame/tin roof lean-to's built in it for fans/media, I LOL'ed watching the end of the ESPN3 ULL/ULM game when they showed the media guys in those jumped up duck blinds.

Again WHEN will that upgrade happen?

Quality over quantity, Dumb4ss! Just cause there are million rats running through the sewers doesn't mean you should cover yourself with crap.

We chose to leave the UL twins in that crappy conference and go indy, we sacrificed, we fought the fight, we wandered through the wilderness, we've arrived at C-USA.

We've separated and we're thriving!

It’s a sincere hope that everyone who wanted to get an early look at UL’s stunning new Athletic Performance Center has done so.There’s now a big padlock across the doors, figuratively. Ragin’ Cajun coach Mark Hudspeth, only minutes after his team was force-fed a 35-14 humbling at the hands of an Akron team that may not break even in the Mid-American Conference, essentially locked the doors of the 100,000-square-foot facility for everybody’s protection.

“While we’re working all week long, there’s 97 tours going through here,” an obviously frustrated Hudspeth said in post-game interviews. “It’s like the Grand Canyon. You’ve got tour guides leading people to see everything, and we can’t work. Every time you look up, there’s 19 people walking down our hallway. So I’m gonna fix that this week. Tours are over. Work is fixing to begin.”

When it is up graded the luxury suites will be from goal line to goal line not in the end zone.

Your team is a dump.

Yep the city of Lafayette and State of Louisiana have done a great job building, operating, and maintaining the Cajun Dome. ULLs lucky to have permission to use it from the Cajun Dome Committee.

Yes ULL belongs to the "Lucky Sperm Club" on this point but they just aren't lucky. They have zero luck and zero class!! And to top it off, if they weren't part of this club they would be just another Delgado in New Orleans or lsu Euless. ULL is a sad joke!

BigTit, you've got a bad case of the Tech Butt-Hurt & it's definitely making you look stupid.
The Cajun Dome is decent but it's much too big for ULL's needs. That place is cavernous & even with a good attendance game that thing is half full. Tech Fans are very fortunate to have the TAC. It's just the right size, there's not a bad seat in the house & it was built specifically for basketball. Even with its age its always been a fantastic venue to watch some hoops, especially with the new Paul Millsap video scoreboard & upgrades.

The Cajun folks edit everything to fit their wishes. Their lack of ethics is no longer surprising, as the NCAA has proved and @ Lafayette has admitted. Their fan's claims of a "rogue coach" rings hollow. Even if true, it shows that the AD and HC have lost control of the football program.

"Tete's" posting of this Revised Statute is merely a feeble attempt to drag Tech into their name game. I am quite sure they know that Ruston is not part of the official name of Louisiana Tech University, and the RS they are so fond of citing merely designates the location of the schools in the U of L System, unless the city is already part of their official name, as the ULXs, e.g. Thanks to the Cajuns plea with the Legislature and coercion of NLU to accommodate them, it takes an Act of the Legislature to change the name of a university. No such Act exists and Tech's official name remains Louisiana Tech University. That is a good thing as we are nationally recognized and quite happy with our name. No identity crisis has ever existed for Tech. Also, we are the only National Tier 1 Research University in the U of L System--a status @ Lafayette fans claim to be unimportant while at the same time stating they need to get there. Their hatred and jealousy of Tech seems to increase on a daily basis.

Is it time for a lawsuit? I know Sandra Woodley on a professional and personal basis. I like her, respect the job she is doing, and wouldn't want to drag her into a mess, especially one as silly as a name thingy. Maybe no one has simply spoken to her about this issue, with a, let's say, passion and "we're not gonna take it anymore" attitude.

To be honest, this is the first time I have read the policy. In the past, I have depended on others' comments/opinions of the policy. It is clear.

Were a lawsuit be filed, it must also include that the use of Louisiana be prohibited as well, as it implies the same status and is in clear violation of the law's intent.

Barney certainly is a nice fellow, though

You are correct except for a minor detail. They were founded in 1900 (what their seal said for decades along with the state legislature). They opened for classes in 1901. But you are correct that about 5 years ago ULL revised their founding date to make them appear older than they are. In addition, ULL's seal does not include the word "at," has typographic variations, and has their municipal location less than 80% of the rest of the name, all three of which are in violation of the law. Everything about ULL is a fraud. ULL is one of the most dishonest and unethical schools in the nation.

Eh, minor detail.:laugh:

I was told the change was made after they determined the original bill to create the school was filed in 1898. Go figure!;)
