Indian Mounds to be fenced again

LSU will start fencing off the historic Indian Mounds on football game days starting Saturday, the university announced Thursday.
The decision comes in the wake of football fans and tailgaters ignoring ropes and signs the past two weeks and climbing on the mounds, officially called the LSU Mounds.
Last week, some children used signs reading, “Please do not slide on the mounds” and “Help preserve the mounds,” as makeshift sleds on the mounds.
The LSU administration ordered the ropes removed Saturday for safety reasons.
After meeting with LSU archaeologists and anthropologists this week, the administration decided to erect temporary fencing that would be removed after each football game day.
“It’s fantastic that the entire LSU administration and faculty and students are combined in support for the preservation of the mounds,” said Patrick Hesp, LSU geography and anthropology department chairman.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
It's not even a burial ground. The Indians used to use the mounds as high ground to check if the banks from the Mississippi River had been overflowed. So the mounds have been around for 1000s of years, and we think that kids sliding down them are tearing them up? Funny, I've been coming to LSU's campus for over 30 years and they look the same to me. Go hug a tree in Berkely.
Let the kids play!!!!!!!!!!!

If they put up signs that said, "Please do not take a shite in the middle of the road!", people would start doing it - claiming it is their right! The only dumbasses here are the ones that can't follow simple rules. Who cares how much you donate or pay for a ticket.

does it really matter why they asked people to stay off of them? It's LSU property, and if they asked people to stay off, people should respect that and stay the hell off

Older than the pyramids. Little respect for the Souls of the Indians sounds more than reasonable.
Should have been done long ago. It is a historical landmark.

its sad when parents are scred of their kids and can't say no. so lsu has to prevent people from allowing there kids to climb on them. parents need to be parents and not let there kids run all over them.

I think we should let The Chief have the final say in this.
