"Jeff Bourne has noted that if the school is unable to reach the $12 million fundraising goal, the university could sell naming rights to the arena to fill the gap"

Gotcha. So you raised 7 out of 12 million.

it's raised. they have sponsorships lined up. it's getting built. ground breaking will start this year.
This thread is a giant sh!t show, so I rarely do more than glance at the newest postings, but this $12 million for a new basketball arena discussion caught my attention. What type of seating numbers/specs are you talking about for that project? Us at GS have been in some form of (very preliminary) discussions about a new arena for years now, and the numbers I've seen have been significantly north of 12M. I would also think, if there were much difference, construction in general would be more expensive up in VA than where we are in south GA. Just curious, not meant to be a shot or anything.

The 12 million was the goal the administration set to be fundraised before the project continued with the rest of the costs being financed through state bonds. The total cost of the project is around $88 million. The fundraising hit a wall but I guess the admin wanted to continue on and plan on selling naming rights to make up the difference. If they build it like the pictures show, it'll be real nice.

Point being, you folks should be thankful to them for going along with you in the name change thing. They upheld their end of the bargain.

I thought you didn't lower yourself to read the Tech board. Since you cut and paste from it, bring your criticisms there. You were reinstated here so I'm sure you can be reinstated there. You have a lot of bad things to say about Tech. Be a man and quit doing it behind our backs, so to speak. Again, peace, man.

Louisiana @ Monroe has only recently "embraced" the ULM moniker. At least from an administration position. I'm sure many of the fans and alumni have yet to fully embrace it; which is their right. But many were right there at the beginning of the naming fiasco trying to lay claim to "Louisiana", even promoting "Louisiana' on their uniforms. I distinctly recall a football helmet with the Louisiana script and arrow. Probably more examples too. Granted the Cajuns have been more persistent in pursuing the Louisiana moniker for athletics. And I'm glad we have continued our pursuit, if for no other reason, the reversal of the Legal name change in the 80's. Without that underhanded, backwater LA politics we wouldn't be having this discussion................But it is what it is...........

Actually, someone designed a prototype helmet for ULM with Louisiana. That was way back when the "ULX law" was made. It was never worn in games. UL@L, on the other hand, wears game football uniforms with Louisiana and baseball caps with UL.

It was predicted that the "ULX law" nonsense would be a train wreck and UL@L has made it one.

Also, in my post that you quote, I wrote, "Let's just say I and Tech fans I personally speak with have no hatred toward the SBC or any of its members. Also, we don't call SBC member ULM "the Hoax" or "ULMost"" Naturally, a Cajun poster uses what others say on a message to dispute my post, where I clearly stated "I and Tech fans I personally speak with." Why is so difficult for Cajuns to tell the whole truth instead of misrepresenting what Tech fans say and represent it in a poor light?

Some of us have seen what tech fans have said. They watched your thug team brawl across the US with the thug Joe Raymond Peace as coach. Fans that have been around have listened to the arrogance that comes from a fan base who has never sold out their stadium. We know you and we are not buying your poor poor us baloney. It did not come from Louisiana Rajun Cajuns it came from Ruston. It would be appreciated if you would go away and stop trying to tell us what to believe. Let us discuss our conf. and CUSA and how it affects us without having to read your drivel. Nothin' but love for you. BTW that is as sincere as I believe your nonsense is.
No, it seems like we are doomed to seeing his 'drivel' as well as litigating his unending obesseion/hatred of our legal name.
Pity, really, why we have to endure this stuff from a fan from another conference who so obviously has zero empathy or true interest with anything having to do with the SBC.
Peace, man.....and peace to the whole universe.

When have I ever tried to tell you what to believe? If you are referencing a long ago post where I wondered what rational reason you had for hating Tech, the question still stands. I also said that was the first time I had ever heard that Tech was a "thug team," which is true. I don't consider such accusations as rational. It was also a long time ago that Joe Raymond Peace was HC, making it rather irrational for you to still hold a grudge about something that, as far as I know, is untrue. Did you play in any of those games? We had a pretty good rivalry for quite a few years and I enjoyed it. I certainly didn't and don't hate Ark St. I don't even hate ULL, and if anyone deserved my hatred it would be they. I always thought we had a friendly rivalry with them until I visited RP prior to our playing FB in the first of a 2 game series a few years ago. Their hatred of Tech apparently runs deep and is truly irrational. Sports is nothing more than a pleasant diversion, though passionate. Hatred should never even be part of the equation.

If you think you don't like Louisiana Tech...you are probably wrong. If you are right...then the reasons that you don't like Louisiana Tech are wrong. In fact...they are probably not even your reasons....you just probably think they are your reasons.

And if fans that don't know Louisiana Tech.....see half the world not liking Louisiana Tech for reasons that aren't even reasons.....then they might get the mistaken impression that half the world is right to not like Louisiana Tech....and that would be really wrong.

Its better if everyone gets to see it.

Are you implying that is my position. Don't blame me for what you think.

Yes. As long as we tolerate it, it will be allowed.

You folks turned it into a La Tech thread. I made one post, did not and have not criticized the SBC, yet you continue to post about Tech. If you didn't, I would merely read and my keyboard would be silent. And, you have lead the charge.

Oh good grief. Who in the world would trust what a tech idiot writes. I love that you say tech is disliked because of what Louisiana fans write then when some of us tell you have earned it by the attitude of your school and fans it just rolls off your back. One good thing about a board like this is the ability to ignore...so bye stupid.

Nah. Your bias is showing. In reality most G5 programs haven't accomplished much outside of influencing the memories of those associated with the program. LA Tech is no different. Just a reality check for fanbases that think they're above other members of our respective conferences.

Yeah, schools usually do. UL@L does not.

Yes, we do. It's why our conference reference refers to us as such,

http://www.sunbeltsports.org/news/2016/1...61152.aspx

the NCAA itself,

as well as numerous other national media outlets (more joining this list daily),

It's why it is on all our jerseys.

It's why it's on all our venues.

It's why it's on all our official communications.

We all know that you don't like or agree what our name is. The question is why a fan who has zero ties to the SBC is allowed to come here and insult us with your '@L's' or 'ULx's', and otherwise continually post/troll/derail here restating your case over and over and over again when it has been disproven and debunked each time.

As you well know, I am an alumnus of a member school of the SBC. As far as the name game you folks created, and since you are so fond of copy and paste, paste the law that allowed USL to change its name to UL@L and I will be more than happy to explain, once again, how the use of UL on your ball caps and official communications violate the law. However, it would be a useless exercise because you obviously lack an understanding of the English language (as you displayed in one of your posts earlier in this thread) and do not view the issue that you folks created in an objective manner. I have certainly not said anything insulting and if you are insulted by opinions and facts you do not agree with, then that is your problem - not mine. You, on the other hand, certainly attempt to insult others but apparently find that acceptable.

It has been an informative thread. We have a game coming up in a few days. I hope it is on TV. Hopefully, it will be a good and competitive game.

Come on over to the CUSA and BB&B boards.

Lol, LaCajunsFan must be TechRocks. He even left me a nasty message and neg rep Busted!!!! Why would he care if wasn't TechRocks?

All of TechRocks posts are about SBC and ULL. I ask TechRocks (you) two questions any Tech fan would know and you couldn't answer neither.

TechRocks is a ULL posing as a Tech fan, he has already been outed on the CUSA board so he comes over here and ya'll fall for it, hook, line and sinker
1. I am not Tech Rocks.
(I want to kick him in the nuts everytime he calls us 'Laffy,' and in fact do not understand why this type of flaming from this troll is allowed on this board.)

2. I have never sent this mutt-butt troll a pm.....I'm glad to see he has been banned, but I also think his troll posts accusing me of erroneous stuff should be deleted. Like all of his other posts it is worthless, untrue and only exist to detract from the topic on this and other threads.

That is all.

Last comment on this but when someone (LaCajunsFan) calls anyone a "a worthless fool" on message forum I'm going to neg rep them. If that gets me banned so be it.

I have never met you or would ever call you someone like that behind computer screen, different set of values my friend. Good luck!
