Why LSU and NOT Louisiana State
editWe use LSU on Wikipedia because that is how the team is most often referred to in the media and by fans. Louisiana is the only state in the United States that starts with the letter 'L' and thus there is no ambiguation when referring to a football program called 'LSU'. Now, with an acronym like OSU, which could be Ohio State, Oklahoma State or Oregon State, then it is necessary to spell it out. Please do not move any LSU pages to Louisiana State. Thank you.

- What's it say in the University's style guide? I'd go with that. JKBrooks85 (talk) 05:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- If you go to the official LSU sports website: http://LSUsports.net, the title of the page is "The official web site of LSU Tiger athletics." Not exactly from the style guide, but you have to assume the web designer had to follow the school's style guide.↔NMajdan•talk 16:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree for the same reason its the 2007 USC Trojans football team, not the unwieldy "2007 University of Southern California Trojans football team". --Bobak (talk) 20:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- The same thing was done to the 2007 TCU Horned Frogs football team. I'm going to change it back General125 (talk) 19:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
editFlesh out the description of the losses to remove any appearance of bias towards LSU —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asperitus (talk • contribs) 00:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Feel free to do it. My editing strengths aren't in writing stuff like that. It's not a bias, it's more laziness. People edit more on the wins because they are more exciting. Seancp (talk) 01:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Good coverage of the wins for the 2007 season, but almost no description of the losses, which indicatesAsperitus (talk) 00:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC) the article was written with a bias towards LSU. There should definitely be more content in the coverage of LSU's loss to Kentucky, given the significance of a loss to traditional cellar-dweller UK, and the fact that LSU was ranked #1 in the nation at the time of the loss. |
