Mark Ballard is about as far to the left as it gets in the dying Louisiana print media. He’s on a sinking ship and knows it. He’s just gonna crank up the hysteria volume and let the music play until the ship is completely under water.


Well said. He's another leftist, trying to save the world one name change or statue felling at a time. A person dying to be relevant for as long as he can draw attention to himself. Narcissist.

I know this comment is being made in jest, and I love LSU, but Texas A&M is an objectively better school than LSU by a long shot in many categories. One need only look to the endowment to get a glimpse at how...

The author conveniently shows but one tiny faucet of the history of the “fighting tigers”. Like most everyone with an agenda he highlighted one small faucet he wants to exploit for his own means.
It is my understanding the “fighting tigers” were formed to fight way before and stayed in existence way after the civil war and the unit survives into modern times.
The funny thing about the “fighting tigers” in the civil war was they were such renegades that neither side wanted much to do with them. They were pardoned and absorbed into Union army. After the civil war the “fighting tigers” have served in every war since.
On one seriously associates any thing about the current tiger mascot or mike with anything to do with the confederacy. Please get a life Mr. Ballard and write about something relevant. Sometimes things are what they are.
Mike is just a tiger. No one but no one associates the current tiger mascot with anything but a fierce animal.

Nobody has ever really given a shite about the LSU library because it was such an eye sore.


We should move everything out and tear it down. Just like the assclowns want.

And once we do, the quad will be in the shape of a cross. But the SJWs were the ones who demanded it so we have no choice but to leave it that way....

TAM is getting pretty ate up with the SJW too. Football players are protesting a major patron that made the university what it is today.

Oh I know. She has loved both LSU and Texas A&M for a long time. It was always her top two choice. Not my choice but it’s not my career or life. So I’ll support her whatever she chooses even if she becomes an Aggie. Sigh.

Those panhandlers are still doing it. If you’re donating to a billionaire with his tin cup out, you should have your head examined.
