Agreed.

Bama will likely eat our young oline & Aranda / D will fight yet they'll be worn out by late 3rd if the offense leaves 'em out there all day.

Big question is ATM..
Good talent-- and also, Sumlin is slowly sinking, like our uptown houses,
in which doors open / close differently depending on the marshy soil--

but still slowly sinking.

Most of the comments on this thread are unrealistic.

1) it's clear from his family /poverty issues, he's been aiming for pro career to get his Mom to a decent place.
His brother...may be too late for that.

2) Comparing him to Reggie Bush? seriously, Reggie was speedy but Derrius has speed +power & Reggie never had that level of power.

3) He's been playing w/ knee problems, and the farther he's progressed, last few weeks, the more he looks like his old self: pushing guys at point of contact.
--heck,
people expect a guy to instantly break off 50-yard runs given knee issues?

Whiskey . Tango . Foxtrot


I would like to see alotta guys here tell their kids or nephew "oh u have knee problems---then your selfish if u don't come back another year."

Grow a pair. Get real.



:rolleyes:

hhhmm...

Fans waking up to :

1) historically terrible performances all in 1 month

2) Alleva dodging responsibility "Don't get me fired!" :wah:

3) Gabillion dollar buyouts/contracts awarded for???

4) recruiting challenges that will be colossal

5) Cluster Fricke of parking has gotten worse, yay

6) Altho...we have NICE concession stands!

:cool:

I like ur revolutionary attitude.. we could use it if aimed at the BOS.

Yes, and the bottom line is still the attitude, the mentality that can't afford Jimbo or Herman or complete a real search--
yet we pay tons $$$ for Orgeron,
rather than a small-buyout.

We had leverage over O... we could have given him incentives that were smart /to our advantage, instead Alleva acted like HE was actually O's agent

:rolleyes:

Yes--
well stated.

$$$$ + ticket sales...concessions...tshirts /gear..

BTW:

deferred it to another meeting since it was not "time critical."

...this phrase concerns me.

I'd hope the BOS boys are hoping to throw Alleva under the bus. It would make them look heroic & perhaps that's another piece in our favor, who knows.

It's infuriating.

Yes. Good work on digging up these facts--- the process is often seen as "just paperwork" yet it clearly matters.

Accountability might fit into mix.. here's hoping.

$12 million is only .013% of $910 million. When you look at it in those terms, $12 is minuscule. Quite frankly, you can't afford NOT to fire him. If you don't, that value of $910 million will start to drop astronomically. You have to protect your investment.

---

Yep. Invest in winning & recruiting---tolerate no one who pushes accountability out the window.

Yes, that's a solid point re: education /funding--

Having lived /worked all over the country (now an aging/ole geezer), it sickens me to see the continued mentality of our fans that somehow believes our kids will still succeed in the information-job-market while allowing our State education to flounder..

as it has perennially...

Skooter :
Good point.. Emails, tweets, Fbook posts should say that as well.

These "officials" have proven they cannot lead nor manage the system-- not to mention utterly
sending all the wrong messages to tens-of-thousands of students regarding responsibility.

It's not too difficult to gain leverage.
If taking this action is not perfect, make suggestions.

1) Post a shite storm of tweets & facebook messages that clearly tells the LSU admin,
the fans and BOS, that Alleva /Alexander must go.

2) Send emails to LSU admin that show your real name plus how much time & money you've given to support LSU over the years, whether ticket purchases, tuition, donations, etc.


Tell the boosters & fans you know to do the same.

_ Results _

Students & alums have done this successfully in recent years at various universities.

They got momentum once tweets & emails went viral. Everyone else realized they felt the same way because their time & money had also been shited into the dumpster fire.

Admins & BOS reacted like deer in the headlights once the media explosions could not be contained.
They realize these things follow them throughout their career.

Sure, millennial kids didn't do this for perfect reasons--usually political correctness, whatever..
All that matters is it works.

Or we can take it up the arse while gullible fans say "all this takes time."
:rolleyes:

I worked in advertising & digital media here in Louisiana, then Dallas, and --do not hold this
against me-- N.California, only to return home to Nola, older & tired of over-paid talking heads telling us,
" It's up to your leaders. "
..like the time Mark May lectured Alleva for dragging his heals when it
was his solemn duty to hire Orgeron because "the entire state of Louisiana was behind him."

When real people pressure these *bureaucrats* --by showing real names & bluntly telling them "I've bought tickets for decades"
or.. "I've paid my kid's tuition"-- then the Admin can be held accountable.

Make their jobs miserable and don't forget, they get handsomely paid to ignore you. :angry:
