"Certainly she can neither be as good or as bad as the extremes are saying."
Take away the extemes, the "1" and "10" votes, and the majority still rates her perfomance negatively. She is percieved negatively because of the rediculous lengths the admin goes to adhere to the LSU imposed "city tag" rule. The most blatant example of this stupidity is the white "Lafayette" banner laid out under the hedges at Cajun Field.
By the surge in positive votes she received she either has friends that read this board or it was outside flamers. If its friends reading the board and she and her friends think she is being unfairly targeted, please have her respond to the accusations. She has plenty of opportunity to do it in the Alumni magazine, the Vermillion, or even on this forum (although I can understand a reluctance to come here).
