Joe Alleva - AD at LSU

I won't post this on the Tr because of my Alabama alum status. But I follow LSU closely so this is germane to the SEC.

If you feel like today is a good time to throw up and laugh at the same time, read this bio of Joe Alleva on the lsu sports net. It is so poorly written with so many run-on sentences that it wouldn’t pass muster in a freshman English class.

But what it truly alarming is the megalomaniacal phrasing and self-praise using terms that would embarrass most people. I believe this explains a lot about the current situation at LSU. The man has a personality disorder and is convinced he is the second coming… and that his experience as QB of Lehigh U. in 1975, means he knows as much or more about analyzing a football team, watching film etc., as any HC.

This is truly awful. Note the "Champions in life..." phrase. Good god... who the frick wrote this??!!!!!
