Did anyone drive by Alex Box today and see these words in large letters around that ring structure with our six national champions flags? Way to go LSU, associating our championships with a used car salesman image. I guess they're both about all about the mighty dollar. Shame on you LSU.

Yes, because in an economy such as this one where donations are down, the school is looking for $73 million in budget cuts, and cuts are being made across the board - it is ludicrous to have a successful, local company pony up some needed money and sponsor a part of the stadium.

Gerry Lane Enterprises is a respectable business employing several hundred people throughout the Baton Rouge area .... and no, I don't work for them.

What do you do for a living? I'm sure it must be something more "respectable."

How about this. If you support LSU athletics, support those businesses that do as well. Go buy a car from Gerry Lane.

Shame on LSU? No, shame on you motherfricker.

Edited:

Sorry, I just looked up your profile and see that you are an engineer. Since you like to perpetuate the stereotype of the used car salesman, I'll perpetuate one of my own. I'm guessing you are one of those engineer types that knows everything about anything? Please share more of your knowledge with the rest of us uneducated simpletons. Maybe I'll spend the rest of the day reading your post history in hopes of some nugget of genius rubbing off on me.
