Well, in the conversations I had, I asked if 16% was the number they heard. The general response was "Yea, somewhere around that."

No one I talked to could confirm Alleva was getting fired. I don't know anyone that high up that would be privy to that information.

I have just seen this song and dance too many times where everyone has sources in TAF and very rarely do those sources' stories ever come to fruition. I wouldn't doubt that donations to TAF may be down, but I just am a little skeptical of 16%, especially if donations to the University are up. Generally donations to the University kind of flow with how good the football team is.

I get it, trust me. I've never claimed to have first hand knowledge of what goes down at LSU. I just know guys who know other guys. It's all a transfer of information.

Generally speaking, yes donations tend follow similar paths. But, with so many members a fed up with the direction of things (I've yet to speak with another TAF member who is pleased with the current regime), it only natural that they would do something to send a message. Particularly those with DEEP pockets. But at the same time, you don't want "hurt" the University as TAF does contribute a pretty decent chunk to the University itself. So how do send a message? You skip TAF and go straight to the university.

I totally get that logical reasoning, but I also know people don't always think logically like that, even people with deep pockets

If they want to send a message, they are generally a little less passive aggressive than that. Who knows honestly. I don't ever pay attention to it, but doesn't TAF always release an annual givings summary every year? So ultimately we should know if, in fact, donations are down that much, right?

Let Ree and the others think what they want. Nothing is gonna printed that paints things in a negative light right now. There's no reason to do so. No good would come from publicly disclosing what's going on behind the scenes. This whole thing has been enough of a black eye for the entire university.

Of course Ree and the Orgeron family are gonna continue to post propaganda until it's put up time. Put time is coming though. The results are gonna tell the story. Not Ree's hype and bullshite posts. There's nowhere to hide when kickoff rolls around.
