Every time I look outside the new jumbotrons are on showing LSU highlights. Are they trying to burn out a bulb already or something?

Better to get any potential problems out of the way now rather than during the home opener.

I understand that, but we're talking for two or three weeks every time I look they've been on. Usually afternoon and into the evening.

Oh well. Guess they know something I don't. Looks like the LSU budget cuts aren't bothering them as bad either.

you do know that Athletics is self funding, doesn't receive state money?

Yes although it's not that cut and dry but that's for another thread.

You do know that your statement is not entirely accurate?

Yeah I gathered that.

Usually if something works for 21 days in a row it should be good to go......

As of 2013, the most up to date budget numbers I could find LSU is one of only a handful of public college athletic departments that does not recieve state funding. They are part of the following short list of universities:
LSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Purdue and Texas

So unless you can prove otherwise I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself.
