Kentucky will open its 2015 season and its new Commonwealth Stadium this coming Saturday when Louisiana-Lafayette comes to town. Before that games kicks off, you’re probably asking yourself one very important question: The hell is a Louisiana-Lafayette?
Allow me to educate you, if you will…
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Formerly the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute, the Southwestern Louisiana Institute of Liberal and Technical Learning, and then the University of Southwestern Louisiana, UL-Lafayette is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review’s college rankings. The school has achieved several milestones over the years, including becoming the first all-white southern public college to desegregate, the first to offer a masters in computer science in America, and the first of many to lose to Kentucky in the 2015 college football season.
