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!!!!!!!!!!!

This.

I guess putting up and taking down fencing is more cost-effective in these trying economic times than just planting some more grass.

Of course, I AM asking a lot. One of the south's few Land/Sea Grant institutions, and there's nobody there that can seem to get fricking grass to grow properly.
