UL sought and received permission to use the name from Tulane before making the change. Then the LSU insecurity attempted to stomp out their hopes

Does ULL realize yet that Tulane is the University of Louisiana


Oh, you bringing up old shite huh? That was actually taken care of back in the early 80's from Tulane's perspective.

The insecurity really is hilarious. I don't care but I'm going to get worked up every time I see it!

This is a tad bit hypocritical don't you think?! LSU doesn't have trouble w/ branding......ULL can't decide on what to call themselves. You have to admit that it's a little confusing, especially to people outside state when your university insists on 2 damn names. Your university website says UL-Laffy, yet y'all go postal when people call you that. I swear ULL has the most emotional, sensitive fan base that's always begging for attention. And y'all can't expect people to really take y'all seriously when your mascot looks like an evil fruit o the loom character.

No one gets offended by UL Lafayette. The university says they don't recognize ULL as an abbreviation, that's what they don't like seeing. The university uses University of Louisiana at Lafayette on all academic branding.


The more you know.

So, the OP is full of crap? I sort of hope that's the case to be honest.

The athletic branding has been Louisiana. They use UL Lafayette on the academic side of things. They don't use ULL at all.

That's a question for our public relations department. ULL has never been an officially recognized abbreviation.

You will never see official gear say "ULL".

It's definitely a good idea to pick a fight with the people that are pretty much solely responsible for any publicity that may come your way.

Regardless of the validity of his claim, which I will not address, this is definitely a shortsighted, amateur move.

Fox and I think Yahoo says Louisiana so I guess McCann is upset that ESPN doesn't. It doesn't really matter, if you ever saw McCann you would think it's funny.
