So you are telling me LSU is all that matters in this state. Meanwhile Louisiana is dead frickin’ last in most education and state metrics nationwide.


Finally someone gets it. Trying to better ourselves and improve our brand has NOTHING to do with LSU, until they interfere with our efforts. It's been on full display here that everything always comes back to "THEY JUST WANT TO BE THE FLAGSHIP."

The whole point of the name change was to work to better ourselves and raise our prominence on a national level. There was never an intention to take anything away from other schools, but the backroom politics and irrational fear that we were doing it to destroy other schools is, as you said, the reason our state is in such terrible shape.

Just because we want to be a nationally respected university has NOTHING do to with LSU and everything to do about US.

ULL simply cannot and never will be able to turn people away like Texas and UNC


You're absolutely right. With all of the backwards thinking in this state (on full display in this thread), including LSU spending 400k in 1984 to fight our name change, no public school in the state will ever be on par with Texas or UNC. So I guess we should just give up trying to better our institution altogether.

Southern has a law school so they are on par with Tulane


Second to last endowment in the SEC, so you are on par with... Mississippi State.

ESPN refers to every college by the name the university requests, dip shite. There is no legal standing of ESPN does it you fricking moron.


I know for a FACT representatives from LSU were actively engaged with ESPN folks insisting that they do not refer to us as Louisiana for MANY years. That even led to the score bug being changed MID GAME. It was even mentioned directly by Harold Reynolds ON AIR during our appearance in the CWS.

So yeah, having ESPN finally support the change was a major win in our branding efforts.

You’re correct that ULL will never be close to LSU.


We're both Carnagie R1 institutions now, my dude. LA Tech isn't.

By the way, LSU has the second lowest endowment in the entire SEC. But "iTs YeW eLL eLL" is the biggest concern these days.

If you people spent half the time focusing on things happening at your own school instead of fighting our (legal) athletic branding, I think both institutions' fans would be in a much better place.
Man, this thread really is great. I bet you’re also one of those guys who declare you can’t understand why Louisiana fans hate LSU, and how we should pull for all state schools just like you do. Am I right?

You’re sitting here trashing attendance at a championship game we hosted, and won. Oh and we’re also ranked. And have been for the last two seasons. Sorry you didn’t get to participate this year.

But I urge you to call your state rep and complain about our athletic branding. Do me a favor and record the call so I can hear them laugh you off the phone.
You’re up by 10 pts on ULM and worried bout the Cajuns. But tell me again how we aren’t in your head. ??
MS State lost to Memphis, has four losses, still in the CFP top 25. What’s your point?
Well, that’ll sure show us our place right? Bet you’re one of those “We support all Louisiana teams bruh” people.
Tech fans have been screaming for years that we are not a rival. All of a sudden, we're a rival when it's convenient for you. Yes, we love to hate you because of your smugness, but we also don't forget that when you were in the SBC and we were trying to build a football conference, you not only left for the WAC, you also tried to lure UNT with you in order to kill any potential of moving forward with football in the SBC. You wanted your separation. You now have your separation. It's just not quite the separation you envisioned.
