The whole name thing with the UL schools is so frustrating to listen to because its blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain that the whole exercise is an epic waste of time and, more importantly, its not going to work -- changing (or "requesting") a new name isn't going to grant your university the separation from its sister school (a sister school that IT CREATED by undergoing the name change!). Most ULL fans just won't listen to that, though, and call you a flamer or whatever when you try to explain this to them. Its just stupid.
Rarely get a chance to hear y'all but got to listen to a little bit of the show yesterday from OVER THERE IN RUSTON. It was good.
