Cool. I never knew who Raphael Semmes was, so I have no reason to be upset at this. As a matter of fact, I know dozens of veterans, so that's pretty neat.

Bob Mann is a fricking pussy who is a cancer in the Manship school. How any grown man can bitch and moan about the bullshite he stirs up is beyond me. The day LSU fires his arse is the day I'll reconsider donating.

Why’s the Union called such a name and not the confederate, a place where students can segregate amongst one another.
We will allow the administration to work together with the students to divide them. It starts when they tour the campus so they can see all the segregated groups and what each has so they can compare. Then we segregate them when they enroll.

Really doesn't matter, as a student I never knew 90% of the street names at LSU and no one else did either. Everything was referred to in relation to a landmark or well known building. For instance: "Where is Hodges Hall?" "It's across the street from Lockett."
Never heard any other alumni of any generation use street names either.

A bit ironic to not be inclusive of them, then...

LSU is declining further by hiring people like James Carville.
Yeah, nothing says decline like hiring one of the more influential campaign architects of the modern era.

Nothing says class like bringing in the guy famous for saying “Drag a $100 through a trailer park and you never know what you’ll find.”

It starts with a road ... this is ridiculous.

Carville is a true modern master of using lies, emotion and distortion to manipulate the simple minds of stupid voters. If that's what LSU now considers journalism, then I'd say it is in serious decline.
