El Pollo Maximo, let me just take a minute to thank you once again for having the huevos to allow some freedom of speech when it is fast deteriorating.

And for having such an easily navigable and easy on the eyes website. We are all truly in your debt.

This is their form of speech in protest. Nothing wrong with that.

Ironically enough, that poster went through his own saga of getting totally cucked by one of the former female posters of this board several years ago

Me, my dad, and brother split a bunch of football season tickets and we've been doing it for about 20 years, even before the year, my dad, my brother, and I decided we wouldn't renew anymore for the 2021 season. I was at first indifferent, but now I think we made an excellent decision, and this was before Tate was hired. Now, we made an even better decision.

I love LSU with all my heart, I really do. Going there was the best 4.5 years of my life, but I can't fricking do it anymore. Now that they're SJW-U, and if they continue to keep that name, they won't get another dime from me. That's for fricking sure.

I understand donating to TAF, but people actually donated to the school? Why? It’s publicly funded

Really not sure how LSU is going to make it moving forward without three guys splitting the cost of some football tickets.

I won't donate the rest of this year unless LSU starts climbing in the rankings.

I don't see them taking a big hit unless some of the larger more entrepreneurial donors stop donating. I'm sure most of them are pretty right leaning but they're not going to come out and say "I'm not donating because of this or that..." for fear of their public image being tarnished.

I honestly stopped giving a shite about LSU when I got a call to donate less than 24 hours after I walked across the graduation stage.

If you chose not to donate directly then that’s your choice but even that is only hurting the kids and the university’s stature. I guess I am just one of those that rarely really cares who the President is, let alone a school president.

Let me rephrase, I don’t let who the President is let alone a school president affect my life especially before they even do anything.


Well, your posturing and preening aside, most of us have found life to be quite enjoyable and in many instance better without worshipping at the altar of LSU sports like we did previously.

The LSU system President is a position that is far more important to this state than anything LSU could do athletically.

I disagree. Maybe not right away for some, but this new guy will be watched closely and the first hint of any progressive action will trigger a reaction by those on the fence.



Exactly. Spoken to a few family members who donate a fair amount and they've all hit pause until they see what's going on. Anything remotely "woke" will cause donations to be halted until leadership is changed.

If he comes in swinging with further lowering of academic standards for minorities, name and tradition changes, a war on greek life, etc. I feel the donations from a lot of alumni might never return.

Because you've never had a critical race theory preaching, white-hating liberal run the university you love.

If you think only 3 people are dropping tickets…. You’re pretty fricking delusional.

I pulled my TAF donation and gave up my football tickets after the 2019 season. Up until now, I had continued to donate to my degree program, but that is over and done with as well.

CRT zealots are taking over. LSU isn’t the first and and it damn sure won’t be the last.

Just remember that we love to hate on y’all, but by God we are in this together and it’s going to come to all of us before it gets better.

We are facing a reckoning.

Fight on you SOB’s.
