Alabama has grown its enrollment over the past decade from about 20,000 students in 2003 to just under 35,000 today. LSU, on the other hand, lost about 2,000 students over the same time, putting its current enrollment at just under 30,000

The Advocate had really pissed in their Wheaties this week when you couple this with Mathew Harris troll article in the Sports Section yesterday.
