Mechanical Engineering Students Win National Competition

I bet those students had to buy their own shirts.

Is Louisiana bigger on theirs than on any other athletic jersey?

I'm very proud...

The general public has no idea. Private for-profit, private non-profit, state, and federal money are starting to pour into UL.

People here focus primarily on sports, but as I have said for years, sports will be the last domino to fall. And the fact that that last domino is starting to fall, gives you some idea about what's happening academically.

And there's something enormous coming down the pipe. It's right in front of everyone, but almost no one has noticed. I'm not mentioning it yet, because if forewarned, LSU might engineer a way to stop it.

But as I have noted, UL used to be the #2 school in a one-school state. No longer.

Louisiana is now a two-school state... and academically, more and more #2 is moving into the leader's position.

I mean IMHO we are 10 years away from our own stand alone medical school. So things are happening.
