cool story
During World War II, LSU was one of the top four schools producing officers for the U.S. Armed Forces. (The other schools were Texas A&M, West Point, and Annapolis). LSU had more than 5,000 former students serving as officers, including 16 who achieved the rank of Brigadier General or higher. In all, 12,000 individuals from LSU served, and over 500 died in this great conflict.

Most schools shut down their entire football programs due to unavailability of young men during the war. Even Alabama. But not Notre Dame. Rich east coast Catholics got exemptions. And they broadcast ND games over national radio as they won "National Championships" against the few other skeleton teams. And this is where the Notre Dame mystique comes from.

And one of the most decorated and well-known (Troy Middleton) had his named removed from the LSU library because some fricking retards got their feeling hurt.
