JBE was doing the same thing I'd be doing in checking in on my LSU Tigers.

John McKeithen on the other hand would have been not only digging but directing and advising LSU what they should and should not do and the result would have been a lot different from the beginning. It would never have played out like it did; Big John would have "handled" things and no one would have ever known....Wade would have coached, Smart would have played. Doubt there's every been a bigger fan that John J. McKeithen.

And Huey Long would have had all involved not favorable to us on the next train out, hoodwinked, gagged, and hell beat out of them.

This reminds me of Jindal weighing in and nixing the les miles firing. I hope Woodward tells these retarded politicians in LA to eat dicks if they try to weigh in on decisions. Louisiana sucks at political leadership.

I can’t believe I’m knighting for JBE but these situations and the information presented aren’t the same.

Hopefully Woodward can handle things better in the political aspect and ensure the right people are making calls and dealing with issues.


At this point Woodward may be more powerful than the governor. He may be the most powerful man in the state aside from our Lord and savior Lipsey.

Everybody realizes that we may have to cancel football, right?
Glad the Governor is so close to the situation and is able to protect all sports at LSU.
Political motivations are what you get from politicians, period.

Governor ignores LSU Atheltics ---> "he's out of touch"

Governor demonstrates interest in LSU Athletics --> "doesn't he have better things to do?"

Seems odd at first but in Louisiana, this type of story is the top news. He sounds like he’s simply inquiring, to ensure he’s got the latest news. Doesn’t appear to be meddling in any way. Totally get that - I wouldn’t want to be blindsided either.

I’m not really JBE fan, but I’d rather have his attitude toward LSU than what Jindal had for the university. Seems like JBE was just reaching out for brief updates

I don't like JBE but sounds like ol boy was just reaching out to his sauces, which happened to be the direct sauces.

But he wasn't "involved"... You really telling me if you had access and an interest you WOULDN'T reach out to the people in the know to see what the hell was going on?

He's a big LSU Hoops fan, and those texts just show he was curious.

It's not like he said "Hey yeah King you should play the guy"

There are reasons to not like JBE, this ain't one of them

Sounds more like he was probing for info than giving input into what should be done. Still bizarre that he was texting them that much about it
