Football Schedules
There’s no school in Louisiana that goes by that name. There’s Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe.
You are correct Matthew, no University goes by Louisiana but the athletic teams at Louisiana-Lafayette are called ‘The Louisiana Ragain’ Cajuns”. Have been for years I know Louisiana State Fans don’t like it but that doesn’t stop it from being a fact. Crybaby LSU fans are one of a kind. You are some other whiney LSU fans had the same rant on Saturday’s Down South last week. Everyone calls them Louisiana now including the Sun Belt Conference. It’s even printed on the front of all team jerseys…get over it
I’ve been hassled by fans, and an SID or two, of most of the Louisiana schools on this since 2008. I now call them what they want to be called, what the Sun Belt calls them, and what the major sports sites now call them. Not going to argue either side. Done with it.
Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana also goes by Louisiana and they are a school too, Matthew!

Louisiana-Monroe goes by ULM
Louisiana-Lafayette goes by Lousiana
