I guess one will be the Tiger Stadium Expansion.

Updated List:
1. TS Expansion (YES it did get finished in time....HUGE Achievement )
2. Johnny Jones
3. Other Sports Facilities Upgrade (Tennis, Track & Field,.....)

He has attempted to upgrade the facilities which are in desperate need.

He hasn't shut down any sports programs unjustly while at LSU. So I guess we are getting a better performance of his duties than duke got.

Alleva still passed on Johnny before hiring the great Trent Johnson.

that's like saying "at least we haven't had a player-coach scissoring session like Pokey Chatman had"

some of you are so pathetic

He's maintained a good athletic program, made some excellent facility upgrades, and he's made a couple of nice hires. He's no Tom Jurich, but he's pretty damn solid

Letting CLM walk all over him.

Did anyone really think he was going to Arkansas? I still can't believe he managed to leverage an extension from that.

I like Les, don't get me wrong. But Alleva should have called his bluff.

Heaven help us if he's the one in charge of finding a football coach when Miles retires.

meh, I don't hold that against him. Trent Johnson was a good hire on paper. I think he didn't want to cave into the LSU bball faction of Daddy Dale, Collis Temple, et al.

Trent Johnson was a sexy hire at the time. Johnny Jones hadn't really done anything yet.

He seems to listen to the fans really well.

Painting the pipe
lighting up the tabasco sign
pushing TS over 100K
letting the band play the good ol' traditional songs
less ads
less piped in music
facility upgrades
killing toonces

I'm sure there's more I'm leaving out.
