re: Chris Landry discusses the dumpster fire that is LSU athletics

Nothing like positive posts for our team. Pitiful

Bottom line is that LSU does not have the money or the leadership to compete with schools like 'Bama, UF etc in the SEC. Unless and until that changes, LSU will never measure up. Never.

This is a completely ludicrous statement and a loser mentality.

LSU has one of the NCAA's most profitable athletic departments. On top of that, we have as as many built-in recruiting advantages as almost any program besides Texas or Southern Cal. We have one of the most fertile recruiting states and we are the only major football program in that state. All of the schools in Alabama and Florida have very stiff recruiting competition from in-state schools. Also, the states that surround Louisiana are fertile. The fact that we have more players in the NFL than any other school shows that we can get the players we need.

The people in charge at LSU had a Ferrari and turned it into a Saturn by making a lot of bad decisions over the last few years.

this is a MUST listen

Coach O, Alleva and company aren't GOING ANYWHERE... No one can afford to pay them off. All of this bitching and whining is just a waste of energy.

I'll put $100 down that if this team finishes 3-9 or 4-8 that Alleva and O will not be employed by LSU next season.

OK. Fair enough. Now just provide the evidence that you know what you are saying. If you are right, why is everything done and the cheap and why are fans being chiseled by the morally bankrupt AD?

I'll wait.

On September 21, 2017, the Wall Street Journal published an article about the value of university athletic programs. It applied "for-profit" principles into coming up with a "value." Matt Moscona discussed it extensively on his show that day and for a few days after.

I saw a thread on this last evening here on the Rant, and I mentioned this in posts all day long on Tuesday.

THE Ohio State University is the largest, most valuable football/athletic program in the nation, worth over $1,000,000,000.00. Texas and Oklahoma, too, are worth over a BILLION dollars. #4 and #5? Alabama and LSU. LSU is worth, according to the article over $910,000,000.00

Over NINE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Why IS everything done on the cheap? This is a huge program, it should be a huge plum to be the football coach at LSU. Saban left to go to the NFL, Miles lasted eleven and a half seasons.

None of these programs, sad to say, should lose by 30 to State. None of these programs should lose, AT HOME, to Troy. Sorry. When you're the fifth largest program, you should be able to land whatever coach you want, recruit players, and fill your legendary stadium.

How does your CEO get hoodwinked by both Tom Herman's and Jimbo Fisher's agents? I'm a pretty soft guy, myself, but how does the AD at LSU, the CEO of nearly a BILLION DOLLAR organization, get so easily manipulated? How does his board allow this?

(no message)

i remember campaigning to get herman after the 2015 season because i was afraid charlie strong would get fired after 2016. frickin joe alleva. wtf.

I know all of this. Alleva never should have been hired and those responsible for this moral cripple being at LSU should all be dismissed unceremoniously.
