    Nope. She has the authority to appoint the LSU Board of Supervisors. That's it.

    Influence, yes. Authority, No. And she isn't going to risk getting on the bad side of LSU supporters--she's a politician. She won't even try to influence this one. She'll let the Board do their jobs to shield her from criticism. And the BoS will not agree on the matter and will let it drop. They don't have to worry about re-election, just about protecting LSU.

    Neither Blanco nor the Board will even address the issue unless forced and then they will say the appropriate things and do nothing. It would lose a court challenge and neither LSU nor the state want any piece of it.

    The flag itself has no constituency, but Freedom of Speech has a big one.

    Why do you Auburn fans have to be so reasonable and easy to agree with??? I think I liked it better when I hated everything any of you had to say. Quick, say something to piss us off so we can get back to a sense of normalcy around here!!

    I am offended at your lack of ablitly to make a rational comment.

    Should we all protest Tigerforums until bubbafrog is made to shutup?

    You're absolutely right. I have no credibility at all.

    Oh wait, except for a double major in history and political science from LSU. Go figure.

    Take some history courses my friend. You'll learn something.
