Considering how much he did for our University and specifically our athletic department, it’s a bit surprising that we don’t talk about him more. What’s your opinion on him and the legacy he left for our state?

How often should we just randomly talk about Huey P. Long?

So you're saying Democrats like lying, conniving, crooked despots?

Every time I go to the Capitol I look at the bullet holes in the wall and I talk about him to the school children.

The influence he had on the Golden Band From Tigerland and how unique our songs are is my favorite Huey P contribution.

Considering who the current president is, Republicans feel the same way. I think it’s just politics in general.
