Gov Jindal wants LSU to erect a statue of Pete Maravich outside PMAC

I agree.

Twenty-six years after he died, Pistol Pete still has a fan following. Count Gov. Bobby Jindal among the adoring crowd who wants to be able to take a selfie with Pete’s likeness on the LSU campus.
Jindal gave LSU a pointed nudge Thursday, asking on his official letterhead why a statue of Pete Maravich doesn’t stand outside the Assembly Center that bears the basketball legend’s name.
“This would be an appropriate way to memorialize such a significant figure in LSU and Louisiana history, and I offer my full support of such a project,” the governor wrote in a letter to the LSU Board of Supervisors. Jindal sent copies of the letter to LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva, LSU system President and Chancellor F. King Alexander and members of the LSU Hall of Fame Committee.
I agree.

I also agree 100 per cent.

Pretty random.
Can't say I disagree, though.

This assumes the PMAC will always be the place LSU plays basketball in.
God forbid.

Yes, do it.

The way Jindal keeps cutting funding for secondary education, I don't think he has any business suggesting shite to LSU.

Did Maravich not graduate?

It blows my mind that there isnt a Pete Maravich statue at LSU already.
I know there was an anti-Maravich feeling for a long time because of the way he left, but man, that was a LONG time ago.
The GOAT of college basketball should have a statue at his university.

Pete should already have a statue.
Jindal should never get a statue.

I mean... Our school's arena is named after him. I wouldn't be opposed to a statue, but it's not like we ignore his existence.

Not saying this is not a worthy cause. Pete Maravich should have a statue at LSU but are these the type of things Bobby Jindal should be worrying about right now. I assume there are more pressing issues in Louisiana that the governor needs to tackle than a statue in front of the PMAC.

Jindal has done more for this state than all the other governor's combined as far as attracting businesses to invest in this state. Moret for Governor!
It's not Jindal's fault, the state funds a bunch of junior colleges like McNeese, Nicholls, Grambling, Southern that need to be shut down!

I guess they're going to make it so heavy it could never be moved. Lol.

Jindal also didn't write our state's constitution.
He's far from perfect and his pandering to the ignorant idiots of this state is annoying, but a lot of the anger people throw on him is misplaced.

Best idea he has had since he has been in office

Finally, BJ has an agenda that I can support
