re: What does the nation outside of Louisiana say about LSU?

Why do you people say frick?

LSU is a land grant school and is seen as pretty decent with decent alumni network, like other state schools that are not public ivies (UVA, Michigan, UNC, CAL-Berk, and if I may, Texas). They are like a poor man's Texas A&M, but with "diversity" and not the weirdo cult like following and perverse traditions.
