re: LSU could beat bama if they gave the state 1 dollar instead of millions

I see no reason to soft peddle this. As a graduate of LSU, married to a graduate, with a child currently matriculated there, I have a vested interest in the academic side of the university. It is a UNIVERSITY, one that has been gutted by unfair state budget cuts for far too long.

I recognize that non-alums (particularly their money) are very important to the success of college football programs. But that doesn't mean that I have to like them. I have for years believed that alumni should get some sort of bone thrown their way when it comes to season ticket priority, as many other schools do, but no.
