When did the TAF start?

[CajunNation]

Serious question.

After a couple of decades of mediocrity after McClendon left, they are poised to contend for another NC with a 4th different HC in the couple of decades since Saban arrived.

They are pure evil, but you have to respect that. How much of that is because of the TAF and its independence, and how much of our cyclical failure is because of our admin and it's absolute refusal to give the RCAF its independence.

I submit to you that is all that really matters.

[Big Buds]

My guess is early to mid ‘90s.

[ULvictory]

I believe late 1980s

[Cajun Monkee]

1987.

I'm sure the medical school, the law school, an enrollment twice ours, and a political system that goes back to Huey Long andis designed to perpetuate LSU's status beyond a "flagship" and suppress every other institution in the state not called LSU have anything to do with the situation.

All of that was in place for a long time between 1958 and 1990 with little to show for it on the football field. The TAF and its independence are the reasons why their program continues excellence.

You are 100 percent correct, LSU has been holding us back for 40 plus years

If it weren't for lsu we' be in the big 12 and have 5 championships in football, atleast 2 in basketball and 8 or 9 in baseball

I believe it was in 1987 and they eventually sued to get separation from LSU later.

Get Gordon. Get it done.

it has nothing to do with the connection to the school, it has everything to do with Long rigging the school game in Louisiana, there is no reason that LSU should have medical, law, vet and engineering, which are the big money donor types from schools.

Longer than that.

The State had a Coca-Cola tax for LSU Athletics and at the same time when UL turned an athletic profit they had to send the monies to the State Treasury.

and dont forget they can dump other campuses out of their system, whenever they want, and dump them in to ours, after draining their resources and just sending us their bills. and ironically they remain loyal to their original flagship and undermine us from within
