Few early comments on ESPN+ volleyball coverage.
Our broadcasts have identified the Privateers as LSU New Orleans on the scorebug. I've noticed that where the shorthand "UNO" would have been used before, they seem to be using "NOLA" and not "LSUNO."
The Privateers are on the road tonight at West Georgia and the West Georgia-produced broadcast is using "New Orleans" on the scorebug but with the current purple-and-gold logo. That is how I envisioned it and hoped it would be, and may be where it ends up, but I think the school itself is pushing "LSU New Orleans" pretty hard, as much of a mouthful as it is. The WGA announcers are verbally using both "LSU New Orleans" and "New Orleans."
Not critically important stuff, just observations.
