Exactly, that's why it's not a good look. Plus he's the leader of the team. Others followed suit in support of him. He has to realize that as a leader you have to pick your battles, choose when to speak and not and what is said and how. I understand how he feels but the message came off as a bit snobby. I hope Coach O addresses this to the team especially to Burrow. All eyes are on him and definitely his character. So he needs to be careful.

What is your point? Mine is that LSU is not investing in its student body. I don't see the lazy river as a meaningful investment. Do you disagree with that point? If so, what evidence can you provide to suggest otherwise?


They re did the entire rec center, union, built new dorms, renovated old ones, did that whole thing with the gates and redid sidewalks to make it more walker friendly.

Not sure wtf you are talking about. And there are probably a bunch of other things they have done that I can't think of.

I don’t exactly like the idea of student athletes starting public spats with university employees


Why? Mann has made a career off of being a loud mouth contrarian a-hole. When you step out of your realm to yap about shite you don’t know about, or to complain about shite that is totally irrelevant to the situation, you SHOULD get called on it. And that’s exactly what the frick happened.

In my opinion, either Mann got muzzled by his boss, or he’s a chicken shite little pussy that got publicly owned by a student who was absolutely correct (and respectful) in his dissent.

I legitimately don’t understand all the negativity and hate this football ops/new locker room has caused. I mean god even professors at the university are now calling it out? shite is pissing me off.

And they haven't even seen what Will Wade wants to do with his locker rooms yet.

Exactly, he IS the leader, which is why when your hard work, and your career to this point are publicly slandered simply because a few donors chipped in to upgrade the facilities, I’m fricking glad Burrow called this pussy out on his nonsense. This guy spouts shite out of his fricking word-hole for a living and Burrow respectfully called him on his shite and made him look like an a-hole.

Good for Joe. He’s being a leader, and his teammates rush to back him shows that this team is going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch this year.

This. I stopped giving to the Manship School partly because of him.

They are just grooming the next 100 Jim Acostas over there.

That locker room was from private donations, which is what really bothers this leftist professor,(sorry if I am being redundant). Joe is an example of the young people we need in America, rather than the " mind-numbed robots" that professors like this Mann turn out yearly. Way to go Joe!

instead of LSU going after championships 100 percent, LSU gives money to academics side.

Why can't LSU be a win at all cost school and not give the academics any money.

“[T]he LSU Online Flores MBA Program is ranked 51st among public colleges and universities and 66th overall, maintaining a top 20 percent ranking among online MBA programs.” LINK

If I am not mistaken, Burrow is in the online program. He is in a perfectly legitimate and reasonably well respected program. The reality is the emphasis on rankings has little to do with the actual quality differences in programs. So he is getting a quality education and pursuing his athletic dreams. Why not? There is nothing unreasonable about his choice.

Robert Mann is a very powerful self absorbed person. He will try to get Joe burrow run off. Of course we know it’s impossible but you just watch.

8 pages and no mention of Mann's salary?

According to Reveille's LSU Salary Database, Mann was making approx. $129k in 2015.

How did he come off snobby? Football keeps LSU Academics going and the little socialist is mad because they got upgraded off of PRIVATE donations. I bet all the guys are livid at the backlash after all they do for the university.

I don't know, Coach O just tweeted a picture of Air Force O, LSU's new recruiting plane, to Professor Mann. The plane runs on pure adrenalin. #WE COMIN.
