I love my state, but that's the Louisiana way.

The tiger cage is nicer than most houses

Is the state paying for this, or is the money spent on this being donated for this very specific purpose?

It is not taxpayer money. Also, never underestimate the value of tradition.

Know how I know you haven't been on campus in years?

In addition to the brand new business college, LSU is almost done with a massive renovation of Patrick Taylor, one of the biggest classroom buildings on campus, complete with modern labs for several of the engineering departments.

Yeah, LSU sure is cutting corners for the sake of a tiger.

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about here. It is better to keep you mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot rather than opening your mouth and proving you're an idiot.

So when someone writes a check and says, "I would like this to go toward the Tiger cage." LSU is supposed to repair the classroom floors?

Write a check to your church for missions, and I promise you will be pissed if it goes towards the sprinkler system.

For the mush some of these professors are filling the students heads with the money is better spent on the habitat. So hell yeah go get a Tiger.

Classrooms rot but Money spent on a lazy river...

FTFY

This is part of the athletic program and funded by the athletic program which by the way is one of the few that actually contributes back to the academic side in the nation.

EDIT - LOL someone beat me to it.

Yep, and we continue on with the thought process of a progressive, liberal, socialist. People lose farms but a western sand frog want go extinct. Nice trade off.
