Loved that and then have the 99yd run from last year as the answer to the trivia question.

I didn't hear that. Was that an announcement at the game?

[ChuckK3]

Yep, during the PA pre-game announcements.

I imagine the @ Lafayette folks were unhappy with our PA people. I wonder if our Lafayette friends expected to be referred to by their "preferred" name?

[DONW]

The ASN guys called them Louisiana Lafayette or Lafayette.

The ASN guys called them Louisiana Lafayette or Lafayette.

And referred to them in the score on the bottom of the screen as "UL-L".

Yes, in the pre-game notes that are handed out to media. Here is an example...

"Our official name is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, but much like our opponents around the country, we simply go by Louisiana when referring to our athletic teams."

They have opponents around the country who refer to themselves as Louisiana???

[arkansasbob]

noticed the head ref called them "lafeyette" on the coin toss.

[HogDawg]

Our own play by play PA game announcer called 'em "Lafayette" all night.

Was Keith Moreland the color guy on the broadcast? He is very good. He played football and baseball at Texas.

"There is confusion among national sports organizations as to how to refer to Louisiana Ragin Cajuns."

The only ones confused are the Cajuns.

Their use of UL and/or Louisiana is completely different than "much like our opponents around the country." At one time I thought the SBC had put an end to @ Lafayette's name nonsense. ULM should begin referring to themselves as Louisiana and demanding that sports media do, as well, "much like our opponents around the country." That would force the hand of the conference and the University of Louisiana system.

I saw a ULL fan wearing a red shirt with UL on it at the game Saturday. I told him, that to my knowledge, the only school authorized to use the initials, UL is the University of Louisville!!! He had a deer in the headlights look and said nothing, so I walked away!!
