Could they just reassign new campus IDs?


That kind of change would require approval from the federal government, state government, accrediting bodies, and unprecedented organizational changes. Absolutely no way that happens.

Thrown in is that for reporting purposes they are combining LSU, LSUHSC, and Pennington as a unified system under Dalton as VP and Chancellor. This should provide an immediate boost in LSU's national rankings as these were previously separate entities.


This won’t happen, at least not officially. All institutions in the system have their own unique campus identifiers with the federal government and have to report separately. The exception is Ag and Pennington because they don’t have students, so their research activity and personnel are already reported with the flagship’s data.

Why is it always blue counties that take forever to report their results??? Seems they are trying to figure out how many votes they need.

It's almost as if urban areas have far more precincts and votes to count than rural areas.

now in 2022 Auburn suddenly tries to make it a thing attached to their program?


FWIW, Auburn was doing it before LSU started a few years ago.
Got up to 120 according to my watch. Loudest I've heard it.

Got up to 120 multiple times according to my watch.
Interested in the tickets. Digital transfer or paper tickets?
Anybody know if it's a full band trip?

What a lot are missing is the school administration still in place has much of the responsibility. They either knew and turned a deaf-ear not wanting to know what was going on or are so incompetent they were clueless about what was happening. As with Truman, the president of LSU has the responsibility of the program on his shoulders—“the buck stops here”, as Truman said. The administration needs firing just as much as Wade.


Pretty much every high level administrator who was there when all this went down is not at LSU anymore… New AD in 2019 and new President in 2021. Multiple changes with other administrators have followed as well.

What he’s researched in his career may or may not influence him and generally may or may not even be all that relevant when looking at the actual job or running a complex university system.


This. An academic's research interests tell little to nothing about their governance strategies and capabilities to run a multi-institutional, statewide higher education and research system which is why this whole interview process has not focused on that. If his publication record was on quantum physics or some other topic this board didn't deem controversial and his answers during his interviews were word-for-word the exact same, many of you setting your hair on fire over him being a finalist would be perfectly fine with his credentials and candidacy for this position.

Apparently the BoS has an unplanned meeting tomorrow


The meeting has always been planned on the schedule of events, with the Zoom link shared.
Generally speaking, the stadiums and game day experiences that have national reputations as the cream of the crop have them for a reason. I've found my experiences pretty much were consistent with expectations going into them based on that.

That said, Kyle Field aligned with the nice stadium, cult atmosphere I was expecting from its reputation. Outside of that? It was just meh compared to several other SEC schools.

Tallest SEC Stadium

Posted by PythagoreanTiger on 5/2/20 at 9:12 pm
I was having a conversation with a neighbor about our experiences at different SEC stadiums, and part of that conversation involved which ones seemed the tallest. This led to trying to find stadium heights and we couldn't find much on Google.

Crowd sourcing to see if any of you know. What stadiums are the tallest? Preferably height of the last row of the stadium, not including extra height added by walls or lights.
