O is like chemotherapy, yeah it's making us puke but it'll help us get rid of the cancer killing our football team: Joe Alleva.

Great analogy! But it's not just the football program. It's the entire athletic dept that's suffering from the illness that is Alleva.

He's mishandled coaching salaries so badly that LSU is going to need a shipload of money to bail out just the football team. And they're doing so after Joe absolutely pissed away money by giving Johnny Jones and Les needless extensions, along with guaranteeing Ogeron's contract.

Here's a new analogy -- Joe Alleva is "New Coke". A giant expensive business mistake. LSU needs someone, somewhere who understands that though it may not be pleasant to say, the LSU athletic dept. is a multi-million dollar business not simply just a university dept in charge of extracurricular activities. Therefore, like Coke, it's time to "eat" the huge financial mistake for the betterment of the future of the business.
