I mean, March 7th was the first day of Spring Football practice. Could have been related to that as well. That’s the most obvious in my opinion.

Are you or have you been inside of the Athletics Department/Facilities during the Miles era and since O been here? It is like night and day. You might be right on that one regarding the meeting, but O and The Captain are in the know of everything and run the Department. If Alleva leaves, they’re done, unless O can pull off a great run of seasons. O was going to be canned after the season if he did not do well, his replacement was being taken care of since August 2018.

Request the emails on his personal email account in which he discussed official LSU business between the parties mentioned. I don't know LA FOIA laws but most states make personal email accounts fair game if you've used them for government business, especially if you did it to shield them from FOIA. All public officials do this, not just Hillary Clinton.

Ponamsky being CCed on important AD emails is insane

Y'know, I think Ponamsky is a slimeball of the first degree.

But let's look at this objectively: he's on your payroll, he's supposedly good at manipulating media, and you've got a budding scandal on your hands.

Since this is one of the few areas he's supposedly competent, it would make sense to bring him into the loop and see if he could counter the big wave of negative reports directed at LSU.

If they did so, he failed miserably, because LSU got it's arse handed to it on a platter for about 2 weeks. If they didn't, he might have an opening to move up some, saying "man I could have handled this 100 times better".

Depending on what happens, we should know either way soon enough.

Great stuff. Many fans wanted this, but you actually did it.

Of the other emails, did you find any evidence that this man is worth 600k a year? It's no wonder college is so expensive.

He’s a nobody with media that matters. He has stroke with the Gordy Rush syndicate, nothing else.

I get all that. I also know that for over half the season, LSU was the villain of college basketball- we cheated to get the Kentucky win, we cheated to beat Tennessee, we cheated with our schedule by not playing UK and UT twice (thus our record wasn't valid), and then our head coach was caught with Scarface and Tony Soprano.

At some point, you have to fricking speak up and defend yourself and your programs. I don't care if the best you have is local access stuff, you mount a response.

Guessing you mean Aranda but his contract for the 10 million was in January of 2018.

I can assure you that idiot had nothing to do with any of it. He is Ed’s lackey and nothing else. Nobody in the AD is seeking him out for media help. If Bonnette needs help, he goes to The Godfather of local media, Rush.

I’ve scrolled through about 20 emails and they’re all the exact same cruelty to birds email signed by different people.

Well clearly they didn't do that with local media and Pussy Joe's national response was to attempt to overshadow our tournament victory by calling Wade a liar.
