and the coach?


He’s likely screwed up. And that is absolutely no excuse for the wrongheaded actions of the Administration.

They don’t get any bigger then Richard Lipsey when it comes to LSU booster/power people. He founded the Tiger Athletic Foundation! If he can’t get someone’s attention then no one can!

Lipsey should be chair of the BOS, not Regents. It’s a shame our biggest donor is not even allowed to have a say in the direction of our program. Only in Louisiana

It's hilarious to read all these people asking who RL is and then criticizing him without knowing exactly how much clout he has. It kinda shows exactly how little they know about Louisiana.

When this guy goes public, and he's pissed off, trust me, he's not the only Money Guy that's pissed off.

That was a shot fired across the bow. Their days are numbered.

I’d love to know what’s being said in the closed door meetings/phone conversations among some of these people.

"King Alexander had no experience appropriate to his selection to run a major research university with a large Greek system and top tier sports programs. LSU will continue to face these problems and headline after headline until we have quality leadership at the top. We call on the new leadership at the LSU Board of Supervisors to quickly remove King Alexander and Joe Alleva form their current positions and replace them with nationally recognized interims while appropriate permanent leadership is selected. Many qualified folks are available for these interim roles. Whatever the choices are for interims, both Alexander and Alleva must now be removed."


Richard Lipsey

LSU Tiger

I have a pretty good idea of what theyre talking about.

You're right. As further evidence of their disconnect from reality, if they had any semblance of common sense they would have already resigned to save face.

Their quest for self preservation is so shortsighted they are unable to see the big picture even as it relates to the impact of this on their own futures.

They are the most shortsighted, reactionary buffoons I have ever seen in such powerful positions.

You have no way of knowing what "most neutral observers" think.

You're just attempting to use a form of confirmation bias to save face in this thread.

And who cares what neutral observers think.

We are LSU fans, we want LSU to flourish, and neutral observers could care less.

I'm biased, and I don't want neutral observers plotting our course.

Never heard of Richard Lipsey?

Here’s the biggest thing you need to know about him.

He’s one of the most important men supporting the university- and he’d never do anything to hurt LSU.

The sad part is that Lipsey’s manifesto has gotten zero media attention, at least to my knowledge. And that troubles me because this guy’s pockets are just as heavy as his big ol’ nuts.

shite I want these goons fired and bankrupt ASAP. I miss the days when we had our shite together like ‘06-‘07.

Yep, you would think this would garner some media attention, but as long as there’s pressure building internally to get rid of them, that should be enough.
