Ya'll act like UL is the official name. And I just had to set ya'll straight. And ya'll are the ones that are truly obsessive with this branding thing! Why do I piss ya'll off? You call it toe-mato and I call it tomato, and the Advocate, and others call it ULL. You need to get over it bro!! I never said I wanted to change what you and ya boys call it. I only wanted to prove that the name was made up. Or as you say branded!! - the original northsidian Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:55:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20382 original northsidian, You're truly obsessive about this UL thing. Yes, it's officially University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Everyone understands that. LSU is officially Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College. Texas is officially University of Texas Austin. Georgia is officially University of Georgia Athens. Cal is officially University of California Berkeley. And so on, ad infinitum. What is it about the concept of branding that you don't understand? Get over it, bro. It's time to move on. We call it UL. Your carping and needling won't change that. - Walter Pierce Sun, 31 Jul 2011 17:10:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20381 zephyr: You need anger management. Now let me piss you off again. It is The University of Louisiana at Lafayette! Check the law that was passed to name it. - the original northsidian Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:47:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20368 who gives a flying ass what predictions are hoped to be more accurate. That is the most ludicrous statement I've seen on this post. So to answer your question, we cannot agree because it matters not until the season plays out. - zephyr Sat, 30 Jul 2011 17:34:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20304 I believe the same magazine that predicted the Cajuns to end up 120 out of 120 also had LSU #1. Can we agree that LSU will finish the year closer to #1 than the Cajuns will to #120? - rambeaux rawlings Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:28:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20303 Boring... - rambeaux rawlings Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:26:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20297 You are not correct. I use UNC as a reference. Would you prefer me to use LSU as a reference instead? I'm trying to understand your point. The humorous thing in this is that you believe yourself to be right but your explanation falls way short of providing us with any type of credibility. BTW, its not the Lafayette mediat that only call us what we choose to be called. Most within the SBC also accomodate certain wishes such as calling UL-Monroe ULM and Troy St. just Troy. The point you don't see is that this is not segragated to UL alone. It's namely the majority of the collegiate institutions across the country that do this, it just pisses in state people off who usually cheer for the flagship as they feel that UL is trying to push the flagship status which it is not. The length of past explanations would not be so long if I didn't have to correct such a large amount of foolishness. So if you choose to feel that you have shown all of us little UL folk up by proving your point feel proud as you obviously are unwilling to acknowledge that a name is only that,,,a name. The branding is what UL and just about every other university in the country are interested in doing. - Zephyr Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:51:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20296 Zephyr: Why is it that only the local (Lafayette)news media call the University of Louisiana at Lafayette UL or Louisiana's University? The Morning Advocate does not, the New Orleans paper does not, etc. I actually agree and understand what you are saying. But, come on cuz comparing us to UNC! Give me a break. Now you and your pals can get together and compose another biblical length response to me. AND BY THE WAY, IT DOES FEEL GOOD TO BE CORRECT!! - the original northsidian Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:01:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20290 To answer your question, the official name is what you state. However, choosing to not see the correlation will keep you from seeing the bigger picture. As they say, ignorance is bliss. The FACT is, what you brand your name athletically verus what you brand it within its institutional walls is different. Please try to understand this. I've mentioned countless other schools for which this applies, including your own beloved ULM and LSU. You do see that UL-Monroes real name is exactly that right? You do also see them referenced in SBC literature and ALL their athletic apparel as ULM. You understand that is because that is what they prefer to be branded as? UL did not choose to be UL-Lafayette and did you know that they were previously, officially, UL or the university of Louisiana?That name is on diplomas from this school as it was an official name that was bamboozled by many in the state's legislature with a lot of pressure from state schools, namely LSU, Tulane and also UL-Monroe. That is why there is so much hostility in the matter as it was a name that we had and was taken away to accomodate the flagship and the name was pushed by UL-Monroe as they wanted a change of their own but the law required two state institutions within the UL school system to do so. As I stated, if you want OFFICIAL names from here on out, I beg you to call the previously mentioned schools and tell UNC that they are to be called The university of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I'd like to get in on that conversation!! - zephyr Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:08:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20277 Another thing Zephyr, I could actually care less about correlation!! - the original northsidian Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:38:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20272 I only have one question: FYI, I am not a HACK(why do ya'll like to call people names),just answer my question. What is the official name? Is it UL, Louisiana's University or University of Louisiana at Lafayette? NO SPIN, WHAT IS THE OFFICIAL NAME? What is so complicated about my question? Your answer and post sounds like the gov't guys on the spin machine! Give me the official name and I will rest my case. - the original northsidian Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:17:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20258 You are not correct. You are refusing to see the relation. UL-Monroe does not like to be called that in fact. They prefer ULM and state it as so in their communication with the conference as far as name branding and what is put into conference literature. You know, the same thing we do here. However, you don't acknowledge my other examples as they are correct but you don't have an answer for them do you? It's easy for the average hack to play the "its not legal" or "It's not your offical name and if you think it is, show me" as I'd say that nearly half if not more of the universities across the country brand themselves by a different name ATHLETICALLY. Troy was Troy St. but they are referred to as TROY. North Texas was North Texas St. but is Now just North Texas....Do you see the correlation here?? - Zephyr Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:00:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20230 Zephyr, it is because they are probably proud of the city of Monroe. But thanks again for proving me correct. - the original northsidian Tue, 26 Jul 2011 17:57:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20185 @ Northsidian. You are correct. There is no legislation that has UL as the official name. We ae busted and have been exposed. The funny tale here is that I'd say about half of the universities that play D-1 football fly with the same wings. I'd mention LSU's official name if it wasn't so long. I'd mention North Carolina's official name as UNC at Chapel Hill but they do not brand themselves as such or possibly Cal at Berkley but again, they do not refer to the entire name. I think you get the picture. It's about branding. BTW, UL-Monroe fans on average prefer the name ULM as they want to avoid the city references. Why do you think that is? - Zephyr Tue, 26 Jul 2011 06:51:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20137 Kahouna: Talk will not get it cuz! You need proof to end this debate! You see, all of you think when you call people names they will back down. But, only with proof will I gladly back down. I love this debate, ya'll make my day!! Plus I am not jealous, because I know it is ULM, and ULL. As I have said before, "prove me wrong." - the original northsidian Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:42:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20134 northsidian: HEADLINES- Monroanian jealously causes a*sh*le to strike again.

It is a bullshit p.r. ploy for those who are not proud of being from Lafayette. Anyway, why do you call me a turd? Is it because you can not tell me who UL is. Listen my man, this turd knows their is NO SUCH FRICKIN THING AS THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA! Even someone who you call iliterate knows that!! You and your kind can't stand it to be WRONG!! Prove to me there is such a thing called UL and then I will gladly end this debate. And when I say proof, I don't mean some PR Bullshit either!! I am talking about legislation saying there is such a thing with the name UL!! You see the peeps from the North (where is doesn't flood) are actually smarter then ya'll think. NOW SMOKE DAT!! - the original northsidian Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:16:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20123 Here I am, I'm the University of Louisiana Thanks for asking - UL Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:46:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/lifestyle/indextra/87-indextra/8712-hud-cajuns-will-prove-nay-sayers-wrong#comment-20118 Northsidian: Hey turd, it's not really diffcult to figure out who UL is if you read the darn article. One can assume from your name, that you reside in North LA. So I will give you a pass because I understand that illiteracy is quite common up north. Thanks for your interest in the University of Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns. - BraveCajun Fri, 22 Jul 2011 14:38:57 +0100
