Changing the name to appease some people who are pretending to be offended is dumb. But renaming it Veterans Dr. is fine.

I also don’t get the need for physical addresses since all the buildings are properly marked in Google maps.

The mascot is different. Yeah, it was inspired by a Civil War unit, but LSU doesn’t make it a point to honor that. And we actually have a tiger. So, that doesn’t really hold any water.

It was renamed to Veterans drive. While I don't agree with why it was renamed, the new name is just fine.

General Sherman lane. It’s embarassing that the history deniers at LSU haven’t honored the first president

I’ve been around LSU for almost 10 years now and I literally had no idea the name of that road. What a waste of time

Shaq deserves a street name. I also think Nicholson should be changed to Ben Simmons Drive. This kid is gonna be the next LaBron.

After careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that I don't give a damn one way or the other.

Bob Mann is a festering tumor that is a part of the widespread cancer that is devouring the Manship School. Instead of firing him, LSU is declining further by hiring people like James Carville.

LSU's researching needs a little work because this

Bob Mann is such a tool. Google his opinion article for New Orleans advocate.

I always thought it was called Union something or another

Maybe it should be.

I have been waiting for someone to start the movement to change the mascot ever since the statue crap started.


Going forward, Mike the Tiger will be replaced by a gender neutral de-clawed Toonces names “Avery”.
