The real issue that no one has addressed is how many nationally and internationally respected professors and researchers that Emmert talked into moving to Louisiana to bring this university to the next level are going to follow him to the University of Washington or just leave for other pastures since he is no longer here. The loss of Emmert goes a lot deeper than losing one man. We are about to lose a lot of research dollars and respect. Blanco has really turned into a total waste.
Here's one person who never thought that her worm turned, PERIOD. She was always a cull. She lied on camera to the entire STATE of Louisiana-made up a BALD FACED LIE, and then NEVER ADMITTED TO IT. Yet we elected her... Kathleen Babineaux Blanco...Where is your dastardly "Republican Truth Squad" you accused Bobby Jindal of launching against you? I have rarely seen so many Democrats rally around such an uninspiring character...Then again, I haven't seen many Kerry rallies... She is a waste...and I have some ideas floating around...
SabanFan disclaimer: From this point forward, he will take an opposite viewpoint and seem to take an "aloof" opinion compared to the others on this site because his viewpoint regarding John Brady is as wrong as Ramah was about LSU losing its shot at the national title after the Ole Miss game... Please, take everything he says with a grain of salt...
In other words, "he has his own opinion and it doesn't agree with mine". I just prefer to let things fall in place before sounding the alarm. You have impressionable children here (Sourdough) and you shouldn't be scaring them like that.
i sure as hell dont agree with TE's drivel sometimes but i don't see this as an overreaction. I think this is this looms large as a very traumatic thing to LSU overall. Greater than any coach or AD leaving and the impact this has will not be known for years to come unless we get someone with at best, half of Mr. Emmert's vision. I do not like this at all. I sure hope I am wrong.
Unfortunately you're not wrong. How many millions of dollars of reseach grant money that a man like Emmert would have been able to get for LSU will now be going to Washington because of Blanco's shortsidedness. How many top notch researchers, scientists and professors who were hired by Emmert are going to have "For Sale" Signs in their yards in the next few weeks.
What an idiot Just another big internet mouth that spews garbage :dis: http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/032004/new_emmert001.shtml Read the article ... big mouth ... don't run around like a silly little beach. Anyone who has a large family knows what it means to come home and land the dream job.
