re: From LSUsports.net - Fund setup for the daughters of Les Miles' sister

Also, they had no affiliation with the University but through Miles, which as I stated earlier...is an oxymoron capitalizing off his name which incidentally has more money than all of us.

---

But I'm sure the athletic department has been receiving calls from people wanting to help. Therefore, they allow people that want to help a method to do so.

Folks don't like the way it was handled by the University, especially in the light of a similar tragic death that just occurred to an actual member of the University.

---

And apparently a fund has been set up for this member of the university as well. But there's no connection with the athletic department.

Give money to support both families in their times of tragedy.

didn't les move his sister and kids down here on his own dime ? i am going to assume the father isn't in the picture ..

A little insight from a poster on the previous page:

My sister worked with Hope and they were not rich at all. Les did not move them down here,Hope moved here to be close to her Mother who is living in an assisted living home. I do'nt know all the details but Hope And Les were not as close as they once were growing up.Hope was a single Mom working two jobs trying to make ends meet with a very small insurance policy at work. Im sure Les is going to help some but these girls are going to have to work,play ball for the scholarship and go to school.Jess,who goes to school in Hammond does not even have a car and Katie has an older car with no aircondition and is on it's last leg.There is no Father in the picture so they are pretty much on thier own. These girls never asked anyone to set a fund for them but I know they would appreciate it. If you can see it in your heart and want to help please do so, if you can't afford it just send prayers.Sorry for the long post.

How many of you have donated to Jeanne Leiby's family, who also died in a car wreck this past week. She was the Editor of LSU Southern Review. She seemed more connected to the University and I don't hear any hoopla from the good Catholics about that.

the problem i have isnt whether to donate or not, its the fact that people are bitching that a fund was established in the first place. i personally dont care if every dead family sets up a fund. i now have the option to donate and help those whom i choose to. simply complaining about a fund being established is juvenile at best.

Kind of sad that the same people that bash miles about everything also show up to bash the man about a fund for his sister that was killed in a car crash. Really pathetic and shows the true colors of some of the embarrassing "fans" that lsu has gained over the years.
