I always thought it was funny how grand ULaLa fans feel their school is. They want their school to be perceived as a big time college program on the level of LSU. When they're actually probably the 4th best football program in LA.
Well at the same time, they've been more than competitive in baseball and other games in the past and I think it's more than just a sports thing. ULL perceives itself as the flagship of the UL system (to the chagrin of the rest of the UL system). Before that system got gutted through budget cuts over the past few years, the university really was on a mission, however futile, to be the other flagship school of the state. It's not just students--much of the ULL administration really hates LSU over decades of political shenanigans.
Also, on a more personal level, Cajuns and coonasses know that Baton Rouge just ain't one of us. City's got more in common with Shreveport than New Orleans or Acadiana.
