re: LSU Finals Week Stories

Got another one.


I was a student eq manager for the football team and we were all on athletic scholarships (same as the players). Well, because of that, our supervisor and compliance got our transcripts after finals as we had to comply with the same GPA req's and shite.

So one day during bowl season after practice, our supervisor asks one of us (R), why he failed ENGLISH 1001. R was a senior, it was his last semester. He had an A or a B in every other course. R is like what the frick? I din't fail English 1001, I didn't even take that class. Supervisor is like, well compliance says you failed it, and their pissed. Maybe talk to the dean. R schedules appointment with the dean and the professor that teaches that class. Nothing, not a single grade, assignment, attendance. Nothing. R did not show up for one single thing. He tried explaining, like look guys why the frick would I do this? Look at all my other grades. This class doesn't even count towards anything for me. It is obviously a screw up on the Bursars dept. They would hear none of it. Made him take the F.

So he literally lived that stress dream we all have about signing up for a class and forgetting about it all semester, and failing

I'll never forget driving in the snow to take a final in December 2008. I'm pretty sure LSU was the only institution that didn't cancel school that day.

Happened again in December 2009. LSU was the only thing even opened in Baton Rouge that day.

I beat off in my office with the door open because nobody else came to work that day.
