Breaking News: Dr. Savoie Retiring

[ZoomZoom]

It is concerning for the next generation the knowledge of how all but two (then white) universities were LSU in the LSU system, Huey Long, the Coke tax, the death penalty for basically integrating sports teams (and the blackballing until death of Shipley by the LSWHOF), the name fight, highjacking the IT department and on and on will be forgotten.

If this happened to any other ULS member, only then they’d be mad. They don’t get it.

Zoom i totally agree
TSAB has been holding us down for 40 plus years. The sec has been begging to add us but TSAB pulled strings and made sure the sec office didn't extend the invite

If it wasn't for TSAB, we'd have won it all at least 5 times in football and 10-12 in baseball

Im sure you agree

When did the SEC beg to add us?

I can't find it but when Louisiana reached R1, who was it that posted? 'Oh no, we're going to get the death penalty!'

Dollars to Donuts we get another inbred replacement. That’s it, that’s the statement. I’m going into hiding again

We got lucky with T-Joe. I remember him being on the capitol steps in 1984 and KNEW he’d come home one day. Just seems the last few years, especially after gaining R1, the energy died on multiple fronts. Hardest part of knowing a retirement date is bringing 100% every day.

Need to hire someone that knows UL inside and out but not a bubba.

IMO, a concern is our “local governor” hires a TSAB pick and dismantles what is done. Between leaving the whole freaking
UL system in the dust research wise and TSAB resting on their state protection and MeToU’s kissing the ring, it has a 1984 feel in the air.

I’ve followed the failings of UNO and have seen a few suggestive negative remarks directed at UL. How and why, no clue. But if one looks at the enrollment growth at SLU and UNO’s decline, doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

Fun, I actually appreciate your passion. My beef with MH, as related to RP, is what seems to be a total abandonment of the once highly touted “front porch” of the University of Louisiana.

BAck to Dr. Savoie moving on. He is over 71 years old and has a lady in his life again. Perhaps his decision to retire is simply wanting to enjoy life with her without the stress of his role.

What would they have to gain by exposing funny accounting (if that's what has been going on?)?

Envy and jealously. lsu feels threatened because of our R1 status and the others don't like UL advancing and separating from them all the while they are stuck in an academic ditch.

Must have been only huge announcement you missed.

P.s. what is the Coke tax
