ESPN baseball schedule

Add to that list the Shriners Classic at Minute Maid Park in Houston in March and the University of Texas athletics for our baseball series.

It is imperative that we get this addressed before the tourney.
TH, do your thing Hoss..

Shriner's Classic is fixed. UT not fixed.

[ManAboutTown]

Texas website still shows them opening the season vs. UL Lafayette. Hope our AD contacts their AD and gets this corrected.

Email Maggard Mr. D.
It will get addressed.

Spectacular. Now we need to get ahold of the MLB broadcasters and get them on board.

[ManAboutTown]

This is a huge win in the name battle. This will be a weekend long, nationally televised commercial for our baseball team, University and community. Big time win.

Thank you very much, whoever got this done. Very happy about this.

so, will this be like the last time mlb had the games and they were blacked out here in lafayette? didnt they show only one game of ours or something like that....

[CajunAmos]

Last time we played in the event it was broadcast on the MLB network. I don't see any TV coverage listed at this time.

It has also been broadcast on the Root Sports Network-Houston the last few years.

Edit: Root Sports is now called AT&T SportsNet.

Technically, AT&T Sportsnet Southwest

I'd guess either them or MLB Network will air the games. That's my guess.

lcitsh, if you're good at turning the tide with these national outlets in how they reference us, I have a few suggestions/request for you.

Outlets that need to be corrected:
- D1Baseball.com (Seemingly the last Baseball website that still has our wrong branding, and it sucks cause they are the most respected one. I noticed they actually changed our name to just "Louisiana" in their Sun Belt Preview, however if you look at our team page on their site, we are still listed as UL Lafayette, and that includes when you look at their RPI page and any other stories about us, they use UL Lafayette for most.)
- 247sports.com (big for recruiting, they have the -Lafayette and they also have a fiery logo instead of the stacked RAGIN' CAJUNS)
- Yahoo Sports App (still has "La-Laf" I believe)
- CBS Sports (I'm not positive what they have us as lately, but in my opinion, this is one we absolutely need to sure up before March. If (when) we make the Big Dance, we better make sure CBS already knows our preferred branding before they come out with their national broadcast of the brackets.)

Also one update, I noticed WarrenNolan.com was correct with "Louisiana" for both basketball and football, but still had the old moniker for baseball. I emailed the site and actually got a response back from Warren himself stating that he is happy it is finally official and that "yes, for the 2018 baseball season, it will be listed as Louisiana.". So, we really need to get D1Baseball on board now.

EVERYONE: Be checking these sites over the next few days and let me know if you see any changes.

What about the University of Texas? Were they contacted?

EVERYONE: Be checking these sites over the next few days and let me know if you see any changes.

Well, good work for it looks like at least some partial progress with CBS and Yahoo now on board.
Of the ones not in compliance D1 irks me the most, given our high profile in baseball.

CBS' only issue I have been able to see is that they use LALAF for the abbreviation.

Yahoo uses Louisiana-Lafayette in articles and La Lafayette or LaLaf for the abbreviation.

Everything else these two do seems to be ok.

ESPN baseball unchanged.

OK - Warren Nolan's 2018 baseball RPI site got it right!

However, ESPN's change still didn't get beyond football and basketball... Baseball AND softball scores are listed incorrectly (Louisiana-Lafayette).

Games from Friday 2/16 - can search list of scores by searching for "Louisiana" or "Texas" to find the listing.

Today's softball scores: Search for "Louisiana" or "Iowa" to find the listing.
