I love how the president simply doing his job(of not doing anything with sports) is now worthy of high praise.
except he goes out of his way to praise the athletic department at every chance, travels to the big sporting events, and offers about as much administrative support as humanly possible when he doesn't really have to

Little disingenuous to call that "simply doing his job"

He's been pretty spectacular as a President as it pertains to sports and the LSU brand

So he’s been an asset to LSU by not being a detriment to the athletic department?

MANY people felt Tate would turn LSU into a completely "woke" university and that mindset would bleed into the athletic department hires. Instead, he has stayed out of the AD's way, and simply just supported him and the department the entire time.


At least you acknowledge he stays out sports and imply making university woke.

Sports fans are easily fooled. It’s the white mans bling bling. He knows sports is what average white LSU fan alumni cares about and will ignore making the actual university side very woke.

I have no problem with his handling of the athletic department. Scott Woodward has done good as well.

The wokeness that turned everyone off for him when he talked about CRT when he got here, has been replaced by him being the ultimate hype man for his athletics department, and thus far not too many woke things have happened under his reign!

I love tate for how he cheers on our baws and gals.

You thinking peoples feelings about Tate have anything to do with athletics or athletic success show a WILD misunderstanding of the situation.


You thinking that most Tigerdroppings posters care about anything more than athletics and athletic success shows a WILD misunderstanding of this board.

I’m sorry, but I’ll never be fully behind someone being the president of an entire state university system that thinks math is racist.

Happy he’s supporting athletics though.

yes, he stayed out of athletics so you don't see the wokeness in the academics.

Sports is staying out the way and being a cheerleader. What about with his main job?

I don't owe him anything other than a good swift kick out the door. His hands are covered in woke-stains.

Put Gen. Middleton's name back in honor on campus and apologize for turning TS's lights into Floyd's HS colors and then we'll talk.

LSU would be better off if he was dipatched along with the useless BoS that hired him.

You haven’t been paying attention to education side - the main function of a university.

Tell me you hate blarks without telling me you hate blarks.

If you can’t see the support he’s shown the AD in 2 years, you not payin much attention.

I got kids that go to LSU. You? Nothing has changed much on the academics side. A few courses but only a select few take those.

Stop shiteing on someone from freaking SC who has embraced the LSU athletic culture.

And his promise for CRT is way less than we ever thought it would be. He’s buying into the university 100%. Show me something since he took his spot in the curriculum that he’s changed.

He runs laps around FKA but the blark haters on this board will never give the baw credit.

Anyone have kids there? Absolutely nothing has changed s far as integrating CRT into the curriculum, for the real curriculums. Maybe gender and African diaspora majors, but WTF cares. My baws have not been affected in the least by this “pathetic president” do with it as you wish.
