Maybe the most.

When it comes to serious state wide nut cutting nobody, with the exception of LSU, would come away happy. The Gov doesn't care about us that much

Hell, there was a legislator who about 8-10 years ago authored a bill to LOWER the qualifications for TOPS. WTF?

Political pandering, pure and simple. Original tops was based on performance. But, once someone screamed unfair, it was over.

‘Tis the season.

So, just to be clear, there are some that feel that, even if you agree Dr. Savoie has single-handily has decided to keep Marlin for way too long, that is reason to ____ on everything else he has done? Getting us all that research money, increasing our grad programs, achieving R1, getting the OLOL property, getting us the new former dog-park acreage and building the new Heritage park apartment complex, totally gutting/rebuilding all our on-campus dorms, implementing that Master Plan, etc., etc., etc…..all of that is over-shadowed by the Marlin issue?

ABSOLUTELY.

Basketball is essential. That other stuff is nonsense.

A lot of people here have made that very clear...

Where was that said? You must have reading comprehension issues. It was said we should exclude basketball from the discussion of his legacy in athletics. I challenged that notion.

Slob away.

Ok, I’ll bite.

Tell me: let’s say a perfect score for a president’s tenure would be 100. How much would downgrade Savoie’s for how he has handled Marlin?

My whole point is we should put the whole Marlin ‘issue’ in its proper perspective.

Where did I say it shouldn’t be put in perspective? It’s hard to put something in perspective that you completely exclude from the discussion because it doesn’t fit your narrative.
