Don’t be so naive as to think it can’t happen to Alabama. They took over LSU seemingly overnight.

For Louisiana in-state college, I recommend Louisiana Tech. If it sees a boon due to repudiation of LSU, all the better for Tech. It will enjoy continued growth.

They don’t even wait until it becomes a thing before they start apologizing now.

People have lost their minds, and they’ve done so by genuflecting to the weirdos and misfits of this world and adopted their lunacy and called it normality. If you’ve even wondered why they’ve all of a sudden become the cool kids, there’s a correlation. Weird, odd, nerdy, and strange is in. Revenge of the nerds is not just a movie. It’s become our realty.

I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish with this statement. Maybe justifying their pay checks?

And the bit about“…memories not being erased…”

That is rich. These people wake up every morning trying to figure out another way to block true US history from people’s minds.

Look, this is mindless virtue signaling at its worse. This is what the current LSU administration is devoted to--casting the university as a racist hotbed to justify its own racist hiring and admission processes. It should be resisted and condemned at every opportunity.

There are a lot of Choctaw folks up in CenLa and they give ZERO fricks if little Bubba slides down the mound at a tailgate. Now everyone should probably be a little mad at Huey Long for bulldozing the 4 Rivers Troyville Earthworks point in Catahoula Parish, that was pretty shortsighted.

Nah, there’s not a damn thing they can do to justify spending money on this lunacy.

The mounds were built in the 1920s. Try to find a picture or a reference to them before then.

I find it rather impressive that society has ran with the “Indian mound”’narrative. Like “hey Steve, didn’t Elray just dump this dirt here last week?”

“Yeah screw it, we’re just gonna all em Indian mounds.”

“Cool”

I have no idea if this is true or not, but it would be absolutely hilarious if proven true. I think I would laugh until my stomach hurt.

Imagine some 1920 dirt workers piling up a couple of mounds from digging the nearby rec pool and then years later someone deciding to go with the Indian Mound theory to see if it would stick. Genius!

My kids used to roller blade down the indian mounds in the late 90s.

If the mounds are tribal, does any state agency have any say about use or maintenance? Should not nature be allowed to run its coarse?

The mounds appear on 1920s surveys as "Indian Mounds" and "Indian Reservation".

H.P. Long (1931 CDs) was not built at the time that the mounds 1st showed up on surveys.

I will look tomorrow for anything else that can be located. The 20s might be the earliest that I have on hand.

On a tangent, looking at the train tracks to the depot building that has been torn down is interesting to me. The tracks ran along whatever the road is now called behind the Facility Services Building, across the Nicholson Extension, through the parking lot that used to be the Old Front Nine (9)and curved to the west and crossed Nicholson to the existing railroad tracks by the men's baseball stadium.

The tracks also branched to the LSU Power House.
