Alleva is horrible and needs to go away, but lets not forget that Skip was the one who went nuts putting posts by every section of grass on campus so cars had to park further away. Alleva just expanded on that.

LSJW got rid of forestry because it wasn’t diverse enough

I called this ten years ago. I fricking hate it, because we all know it's going to spread from just that space to over the entire campus. Alleva isn't dumb when it comes to finding creative ways to squeeze out more money from the fans.

It's just like how the cable companies got wise and starting increasing the charge for internet because of all the cord cutting. Same with LSU. Too many people coming to campus and not going to the game on gameday. Alleva is going to find a way to make money off that crowd too.

And now they're completely priced out.
maybe they should get a job. It's really not that expensive to go to a game.

There are cheap tickets for sale outside the stadium every home games

You want a relevant, big time program? You have to deal with stuff like this



Except we promoted a DE coach to HC and a TE coach to OC.

We trending downward.


Real talk - this is all about reducing the athletic department. JBE aint a fan and this is how you start to kill it.

Using a Texas company smh.

Run it through LSU itself and hire students to set it up. Put LSU logos on everything and hire local companies like Tony’s to cater it.

The next step will be to force these packages on certain lots near the stadium. After that, they’ll expand to all lots on campus. Eventually, if you want to tailgate on campus, you’ll have to use their vendor.


This exactly!

I still remember where I was the day LSU announced that they were taking my families tailgating spot to build GD classrooms on my football campus. It's like the administration doesn't know what makes LSU great. Who needs classrooms! They should just do all classes online and tear down the pointless buildings that can't be converted into training/recruiting facilities to open up more tailgating.

That makes way too much sense. God damn do I fricking HATE Joe Alleva. I don’t understand why he’s still here.

You’re point kind of loses it’s teeth when you see that LSU tore down classrooms for tailgating spots in this instance

Whew, I’m glad they used yours. I pay taxes and that could have been mine.

What the frick does this have to do with what we're all discussing? I get that you're anti-sports and anti-LSU, but at least make sure it is relevant to the discussion.
