What are the biggest faux pas?
We know GSU is out ( could be state, or southern ).
ASU is out ( could be Ark or App )
TSU is out ( Tstate thinks it's Tsouthern ).

Appalachian State University - App, Appy, ASU
Georgia State University - GaSt, Gstate
Georgia Southern University - GaSo, Gso
Troy University - Troy ( that was easy )
University of South Alabama - USA, SoBam
University of Louisiana Lafayette - LaLa, Ulaf, U-La-La
University of Louisiana Monroe - LaMon, Umon
Arkansas State University - stAte, ArkieState
Texas State University - Tstate, TxSt

New Mexico State University - NMSU, en-em-a-zoo,
University of Idaho - Idaho, U-da-ho

None of the ones listed for the Ragin Cajuns is acceptable as you'd be hard pressed to find any Cajun fan that uses any of those. Call us Louisiana. That's our brand. If you can't. Then call us Cajuns.

People are not going to do what you ask regardless of the many post on this site. There is plenty of information in this thread to use in replying to those that want to be jerks. I would suggest that Cajun fans just use whatever abbreviations are appropriate when addressing those posters. We've had enough discussion about names on this site, no more request from me.

If more of you did that eventually all the old guys would die and you would get what you want. Jumping on the ones who use the other names are just playing into what they want. Ragin Cajuns!
