I'm sorry were not handing 8 conference championships and a Big 12 bid to a coach who no one really knew and who didn't have a wiki page before he got hired at ULL.

Secondly, I believe that this hire is a solid one for you, but its not without risk. This is a very swing for the fences hire, you could end up with a Lane Kiffen at FAU situation, or it could be a total flame out (kinda like Withers has been up to this point at Texas State). I do think the investment you have made is impressive however so good job.

The biggest beef I have with Cajun fans is that they moan when people don't follow their "branding"yet do not attempt to follow it themselves. The branding is the Louisiana ragin Cajuns with the short form LA. However, Cajn fans ignore the second part and still attempt to go with UL which is an obvious slap in the face to ULM, not your school name, and still technically an illigal name to go by. You are also not actually the University of Louisiana. When raging pagin starts respecting the brand and goes with LA instead of UL everywhere and people associated with your school start respecting your own brand. I will too until then you'll be ULL to me.

I agree 100%, I’ve said it for years, and was bashed when I suggested they could go by LA instead of shoving UL down our throats ULM alum would be less resistant. And Now the school is saying this is the correct abbreviation and fans still pushing UL but we are suppose to use what the school ask for not them. If its Louisiana and LA then so be it but get it right yourself before getting your panties in a wad when someone else calls you something different.
