From that 1st pic, I would have sworn that was Ted McGinley of Revenge of the Nerds and Married with Children fame.

Gordon isn’t even close to being a Top 5 donor

Neither is UGA grad but bigger LSU fan, Todd Graves.

But damn, they both love their Tigers!

Holden Spaht, for one, not sure about the others, maybe Richard Lipsey.

Pretty sure Gordon helped create and manages collective.

Read the article….I wouldn’t consider “recovering” 3 billion dollars from injury lawsuits that primarily revolve around “fender-benders” that result in “severe neck trauma”, as proof that your football program has money.

More akin to privately-insured individuals having money siphoned directly from their pockets via soaring car insurance premiums thanks to the LSU “donor base” that consists of McKernan’s legions of ambulance chasers.

I don’t think the commission there LEACHES “earn” from 6-figure payouts to a POS who is willing to wear a neck brace for a couple months, as a legitimate donation.

Whatever it takes though right?
- Pile of vultures that fight one another like rabid dogs fighting over a bone trying to be the first one on the scene everytime someone bites it on I-10

- Laundering, Racketeering, and theft through and from State funded Children’s Hospitals

- Your Governor ranks right up there with the rest of his predecessors (quite the feat considering the very stiff competition) at the top in terms of the amount of money he “skims from the top” to make sure he’s doing his part to “support” the TAF/NIL like a good soldier

- Fried Chicken
(Enough said) Yet again preying on the weaknesses of an obese population

Far worse. People (outside of TAF) have no idea how deep the levels of depravity go

Holden Spaht
Pepper Rutland
A few others
Then Todd graves
A bunch of others
Then Gordon

Gordon does NIL deals for players but he’s not a big money “coach buyout” type donor.

I think Pepper is funding the Kelly buyout. Holden isn’t.

I'm not really sure what your point is with this. Why would anyone care who the face behind LSU's money—or any other school's money—is? I certainly don't spend my time wondering who's behind the money at other schools in the conference.

As I've said many times before, if I ever want an update on LSU, all I have to do is visit the SEC Rant. Some of you seem to keep up with LSU more closely than the local media does! For a school that so many of you claim to dislike, you sure do seem to have an incredible amount of interest in everything LSU-related.
