Renaming ULL suggestion | TigerFan.com

BayouBengal · Apr 7, 2003

Well since our friends over in Lafayette can't decide on a name I think we should change their name again. I am taking inspiration from IUPUI(Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis). ULL shall now be known as LSULTL(Louisisiana State University Lousiiana Tech University at Lafayette). I figure either that one or we really piss them off and change it LSUL.

A school as silly as ULL should never bear a part of the LSU name, even if it is embarassing for them....

ULL should just be the University of Louisiana. Everyone else has a university thats just University of (State name) and then (State name) State University.

ULL is not the flagship of that system. I am sure the other UL schools would like that title as well.

Sure they are...

Monroe certainly isn't it..

JMO, but I guess it stems from the general conception nationwide that any University of (whatever) is a states premier/flagship institution and (whatever) State is the secondary, second tier stepkid. Like Michigan/Michigan State, Mississippi/Mississippi State, etc. And those are just the 2 that come to mind because the "State" school is so big. The other "State" schools are virtually unknown.

LSU is the premier institution in Louisiana,and we don't want any confusion about it.

And what gives ULL the right to be "THE" University of Louisiana? Just because they chose to call themselves that? If so, then why couldn't any given school in Louisiana (or community college, or whatever) just decide to change their name and become "THE" University of Louisiana. Just deciding to call yourself a different name should not entitle you to the prestige of being the official university of the state. I could decide to call myself Queen Elizabeth, does that mean I am royalty?

How about they change their name to the school formally known as University of Louisiana Laffyette. Then later on they could end up like Prince the recording artist did and just use a symbol for their school name.

How bout we just don't acknowledge their existance and it won't matter what they call themselves.
