    We need to stay in CUSA, period.

    But, speaking of the Belt... Geaux Coastal, beat the tiggers!

    Most other schools in the state ignore the false branding. Look at most schedules and you will see Ragin’ Cajuns or some version of Louisiana-Lafayette. See yourself out

    This is true.

    Please show me where the university says it's branding is UL.

    Why are you using something that by law is not allowed and against the wishes of everyone else in the state? Why aren't you willing to be a good partner in this state after everyone has requested that you not do this.

    Why does the University of Louisiana at Lafayette appear to be so determined to suppress their relationship with Lafayette? Is the university ashamed to be located in Lafayette? How does being identified as Louisiana add anything to the stature of the university? When asked where did you graduate, and the response is Louisiana, the response is incomplete according to the names assigned to the state-supported universities by the governing board of the University System of Louisiana.

    You can attempt to chastise us for refusing to accept your counterfeit name, but we are not the party that is marching out of step. It is the University Of Louisiana AT LAFAYETtE which does not represent the entire state of Louisiana.

    I agree, I don't get why they are distancing their "Lafayette" branding. It's unique and embraces the south Louisiana culture.

    I think University of Lafayette would be a better name. Lafayette Cajuns.

    Example, Boise State brand is way stronger than University of Idaho or Idaho State. They leaned into the city's name.


    Then ULM can go back to Northeast Louisiana University (NLU). That would be strongly embraced by their alumns.

    Thank you for proving my point. It is primarily only schools within the State of Louisiana who refuse to recognize UL as Louisiana! Why? The rest of the nation and the major networks get it right 99% of the time. I appreciate your research. Winning with the majority of the nation is more important than dealing with the in-state schools. UL always knew in-state schools would have a hard time dealing with the success of our branding.

    When Louisiana Tech is referred to as Louisiana Tech everyone in Louisiana knows exactly what university that is. Your university, for some strange and insane reason, wants to use Louisiana. LOUISIANA WHAT? I love your RAJUN CAJUN mascot. It is very unique to ULL and isn’t suitable to any other. But to use LOUISIANA as if ULL is the only university in the state is stupid.

    guys, guys... let's be civil.
    i for one am totally okay with calling ull "ul" or "louisiana" as long as they are willing to call us "Louisiana Tech University: the Flagship of the University of Louisiana System" or, if that's too long, simply "daddy"
