Basketball has one of the best young coaches in the country.

Baseball was in the CWS finals last year.

Softball is in the top 10.

Gymnastics is a perennial top 10 squad and just won another conference championship.

Football, as much as I dislike the head coach, is a top 25 program.

Golf also has been very good.


I'm not sure which athletics program you've been following, but it doesn't seem to be LSU.


Read through this list and think of who our President and Athletic Director are. LSU is doing great given the circumstances.

Have they gotten to the point where they can pay their own way yet or are they still needing those “fallen” sports to carry them?


Do you know how stupid you sound when you say stuff like this. No gymnastics program makes money. LSU sells out every home meet or is damn close to it but they will never make money because college gymnastics is not a popular televised sport. It probably never will be. LSU basketball can be the worst in the country and still pull in a shite ton of money because of the money they make from the games being aired on ESPN and other major networks. Gymnastics is put on SEC Network or online only. That has NOTHING to do with how well the sport is doing for LSU (results wise) or attendance and fan engagement.

Doesn't matter how successful they are and how many championships they win in a row - it still doesn't matter.

LOL unbunch your panties dude. That was sarcasm. The op claims we're a gymnastics school..probably also sarcasm because you'd have to be pretty silly not to realize that that the one sport which has made all these other things possible is by far the biggest money maker. That is what we really are.

So if you love gymnastics, you'd better smile and clap your hands like a simple minded jackass whenever football is spoken of... And you'd better hope it never actually "falls" because it will only hurt all those other programs which can't sustain themselves.

I have season tickets to football. I don't get why there can't be support for both and why one doing well seems to puts fans of the other on the defense. I want LSU to do well in every sport. Your sarcasm doesn't come across at all, by the way.
