A couple of weeks ago I made a five figure donation to TAF. In response TAF sent me a receipt and a crappy gift. The gift was a cheap cutting board and 4 coasters. They didn’t even include a thank you letter. WTF? I know my donation is not a big one but damn they could at-least send a damn thank you letter. How is the organization so poorly run?

Don't donate if you expect something in return.

Wtf did you want them to do?? That amount is not that much. Honestly feel like you were properly rewarded.

Well shite, you're doing better than me then. I got nothing at all for my five figure donations.

Maybe you'll get one in the new year. At least they sent you a gift. Petty reason to bitch

If it was an email from the football team, check the “fraud” folder

Be happy you got that.

All I got was a Scott Woodward and Brian Kelly autographed shot glass.

You're not supposed to count the numbers after the decimal when you say how many figures.

I wasn’t counting the numbers after the decimal. It would be 7 figures if I did that.

Join the oaks if you are donating 5 figures. They sent me some cool LSU socks in three different styles, but more important to me are the other perks like pregame field passes, walking down Victory Hill, and special reception events.

Also they help you with scoring tickets to single games here and there, like baseball.

LSU cutting board and coasters sound pretty cool to me. Not sure what you’re bitching about.

And you’re ok with that? How hard is it to have a student worker type a thank you letter?

Hell no, it’s a lot of money to me, even though it’s pennies to some. No acknowledgement for it was kind of shitty, and I’ve ended my donations. Sure, they’ve fired Kelly, and I’m happy for that, but then they’ve allowed the governor to royally frick this up for us so frick them until they get their shite together. I’m not hitching my boat to a trailer with flat tires.
