Who cares.. Not everything is some big conspiracy. Maybe he was shitty at his job and got canned

Nope, it's a money grab from F. King, the sooner that a-hole is locked out of his LSU e-mail, the better.

It was time for a change IMO, but this probably could have been handled better.

Agreed. Story of LSU's life lately.

I hope they promote Dr. Llinas. He's sharp, and used to do really crazy DCI-style halftime shows at his last job.

Any chance Moorhouse comes back? I notice she's still Associate Director at Illinois.

Surely she'd have to consider returning to LSU as Director of Bands.

The problem with that is Roy King was just Director of the "Tiger Band" only.

He wasn't "Director of Bands" which includes all bands. That position I think is filled.

Roy was never considered for that job because he doesn't hold the title of "Dr."

I vote Don Doe & Gitty T as new tiger band director. Their Quarterman tune is fiya and they would definitely play neck.





Obvious sarcasm.

Does this mean Neck is back? If so, then I don't see the big deal here.

Pretty sure that's what she wanted last time, didn't get it, and bolted.

Okay, I'm not familiar with the present Director of Bands. He may be very qualified.

But your marching band is the most visible part of your music program. The Director of Bands should be your marching band director, as Frank Wickes was.

Since Wickes retired, this has been a freak arrangement, with the gbftl director not holding both titles.

Ideally, offer Linda Moorhouse whatever she wants.

To bad this isn't a band decision. This destruction of the Tiger Stadium atmosphere and the basic elimination of our great band and its traditional songs is solely controlled by the PC administrators and CBS who is scared someone may get offended by ugly student chants.

Tiger Stadium is a far cry from what it once was in terms of atmosphere and tradition.

Or how about show a little common decency?

Neck has been around since either mid 2006, or early 2007. It's hardly a "tradition". Any gripes about Tiger Stadium atmosphere has zero to do with Neck.

0% chance that happens. No way she comes back into this situation after they first disrespected her and now Roy.

I don't think we will miss Roy King one bit. If he is gone.
