aTm and UT have so damn much oil royalty money that they could be paying their students to attend.

If all the Louisiana politicians weren’t so GD greedy, crooked & liberal (Environmental issues) LSU & Louisiana would have a shite ton of Oil Money to throw around as well.

Don’t let people fool you. There is a lot of money in Louisiana. It’s not some impoverished backwater state with no money like we like to put on the front that we are.

LSU can’t outspend UT or A&M but the only other SEC program that can match them dollar for dollar might be Georgia. As far as boosters willing to shell out the money. Hell, Auburn might be up there.

ell Bama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, and UGA
aren’t worried about it. LSU just spent 100 million on Brian Kelly, 26.5 million to buy out Orgeron and staff, millions more to hire a new staff, 2.5 million for a Women’s Basketball Coach, 2.5 million to buy out Maineri, a couple of million to hire Jay Johnson, and 27 million on a dressing room for Football. Then LSU hired a Chef from the Seattle Seahawks to cook for the Football Team. LSU is just fine.

By the way you already proved you don’t know what you are talking about regarding
Academic Funds vs Athletic Funds but go ahead and talk A&M crap because it has been going on for years and A&M still is 2-8 vs LSU since joining the SEC and 4-16 vs LSU and Bama in the same time period. fricking hilarious.


Can't wait to talk to you after the season.

If the Saban era at Alabama has taught us anything it's that the stockpiling of 5* talent ultimately pays off and now with NIL money flowing it is just a matter of time.

Where did that stupid cheer orginate from?

To me it looks like he's saying "I'm standing out here in this men's room line for so long, I gotta go pee!"

A&M has its issues, but cash flow isn’t one of them.

Oil Money is ever flowing in Texas. Better hope whatever is left of the NCAA figures out how to establish a salary cap or this will be Yankee money vs a D3 farm team when it comes to payrolling a roster.
