Yall don’t understand ? So we don’t understand why Arkansas-Fayetteville is not called UAF, or Florida —Gainesville is not called UFG, or even North Carolina-Chapel Hill is not called UNCCH?? That’s why if you don’t like using UL, it’s just LA.
As I said, I refer to you as Louisiana. You have made it more clear now about referring to ULL- as relatively new conference mates, we may not be up to speed as to your sensitivities to that moniker. UNC is often referred to as UNC-CH. I usually refer to it as Carolina or Chapel Hill BTW. Thanks for your clarification.

RE: Louisiana at App State Game Thread
It’s a wasted effort trying to get any progress out of this group of posters and mods. They have done and will do nothing to try to attract or retain any Cajun posters. It’s fruitless.

RE: Louisiana at App State Game Thread
ULM fans have not given in, just our president. However, everyone is sick of Cajuns whining about being called something they aren’t. Please refer to ULM as the New Orleans Saints from now on please. With that said I am sick of the name debate, as are most people on this board. Guess we just have to continue beating ULL on the field and it won’t matter.

As long as we keep giving them the extra L on the field I’m happy.

You don't and many others on this board may not, but I am telling you, Cajun fans do.
geauxcajuns has spelled out to this board why so few Cajun fans post here. It is their belief that they are slighted by all parties, and the moderators even allow posters from outside the conference to come in and insult the Cajuns. When Cajuns try to defend themselves, they are silenced, sidelined, suspended or banned.
It's been over a year since the Sun Belt Conference released the new reference guide which shows the references for the Cajun teams to be Louisiana and LA. If ULM can acquiesce to that, there really is no reason why everyone else can't as well. There comes a point when competitive smack talk reaches it's limit and refusal to treat others with respect becomes a deliberate attempt to antagonize. And when it's allowed to happen repeatedly, with favoritism on the side of the belittlers, it's pretty easy to understand why Cajun fans will find better things to do with their time than visit this site.
Sounds like you just described a lot of stAte posters.

I think THIS is where you find debate of the name game because the focus is on respect. ABCers who don't like/respect Carolina use the other names to express their dislike and try to irritate their fans. Same as with LA fans and those on this board.
Difference is. Carolina has earned the national respect through their athletic achievements over time and UNC fans just ignor the ABCers with the Heels overall success vs those ABC teams. Unfortunately for LA, they don't have that success.

If we did have that type of success as UNCCH excuse me UNC, excuse me again, Carolina, we would not be in the Sunbelt. This situation is like Nevada and UNLV. In the Mountain West all the fans just say Nevada, it’s not Reno, or UNR, or any of that unless they are trying to piss them off. There is no issue with UNLV neither of them have a problem with it.
This is how I look at the ULM, LA situation. Nevada abbre is Nev. UNLV rolls off the tongue. Like ULM it looks good sounds good, exclusively want to be ULM wants to be just ULM, not Louisiana-Monroe, not Monroe that was the agreement the Sunbelt made between ULM and LA. Nobody is saying Nevada-Las Vegas or Las Vegas, it’s just UNLV that’s it
Another one is OHIO, now the name is so short you don’t need to abrreviated, but Ohio State is so threaten by Ohio who is in the freaking MAC, that they had to resort to calling themselves THE Ohio State University.
It’s great for our conference not to have double directional universities. Look at it seriously what sounds and looks big time
TSUSM, TxSt.
GSUA, GSU
ASUJ, Ark. St
TSU, Troy
ULL, LA
Need I go on?
It shows we are the 2nd and 3 rd premier schools within our State. Not some damn small community college.

Nonsense. It is the Cajuns who behave derogatorily to other schools in the University of Louisiana System. The SBC and SBC member schools are merely bystanders.

We honestly just don't care. Long live Troy State for all I care. I have some good memories of TSU from when I was in high school. A lot of ole people still call us Troy State and it bothers me zero.
I try to call you guys Louisiana as often as possible. That said when this all started, you guys were giant dicks about it, without any context. So you got it right back and tried to flip the script and say we were the ones being dicks. When you tried to explain the system politics, it was already too late. You'd already aggravated the entire board. We don't have time to read through your 100 year war over what you want to call yourself within your system. It's confusing, and quite frankly not our battle. I call you Louisiana out of respect but don't act like you guys didn't completely **** the bed trying to get people to change how they address you.

My dislike for unc-ch has more to do with how they have manipulated state politics to hold schools like App down than any athletic contest the tar holes have ever played.
