As much as I hate to admit it (about Canada and Aranda) I believe they will be gone, leaving of their own volition. As far as Alleva... he needs to go NOW!! V. Ausberry can run the A.D.'s office with competence...

I have enjoyed the Tigers in the national spotlight over the past 15 or so years. the media, for the most part, showed respect for the coaching/recruiting...but now, we are, again, a laughingstock.

The sad thing about all of this is, not only with LSU but others as well, that the universities are judged not on its academics but on its athletics. Crap, I do the same thing. For instance, if you say the University of Oklahoma what do you think of? the National Severe Storms Forecast Center/Lab? One of the best Meteorology degree granting institutions in the world? No, you think of the football team. Just like the Louisiana State University Agricultural and Mechanical College...you don't think of one of the finest Chemical, Petroleum, Oceanographic engineering schools in the country/world. Nope...you think of Tiger football!! And right now we are taking a hit. Oh well, that's all.

Just smokin...... think you nailed it.

DING! DING! DING!

JustSmokin', that's the correct answer and you win today's grand prize!!

Johnny, tell him what he's won.

Well, Bob, he's won a decade of football mediocrity. The first prize in this extravaganza is poor recruiting. Next, JustSmokin' will be able to enjoy the added luxury of a complete inability to attract competent coaches. That's not all, though. He'll be able to enjoy this away from the crowds by watching from the exclusive luxury of a stadium that's a quarter-full at kickoff. Finally, he'll be able to rejoice at watching his team fight perenially just to get a chance to drive to Shreveport to play in the Whack-a-Sponsor Independence bowl!

The total cost of this extravagant prize package? Tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenues!

Back to you, Bob!
