Most embarrassing moments in LSU history

---

On June 7, 1925, Oscar B. Turner, a professor of agronomy, was murdered by an axe-wielding assailant on campus.[15]

1939 when James Monroe Smith, appointed by Huey Long as president of LSU, was charged with embezzling a half-million dollars. In the ensuing investigation, at least twenty state officials were indicted. Two committed suicide as the scandal enveloped Governor Richard W. Leche, who received a 10-year federal prison sentence as a result of a kickback scheme.[17] Paul M. Hebert, Dean of LSU's law school at the time, then assumed interim presidency in Smith's place.


The official LSU school sportscast is an example of embarrassment every week.
