Enjoy these great Times while we can because unless something is done in about 15 to 20 years at the latest LSU Sports(as well as Louisiana Sports Statewide to varying degrees will go into slow agonizing Death Spiral)
This should scare everyone
Unless there is massive hard choices made now and massive Federal Intervention in 25 years we can only pray and hope hope to be at a Mississippi State level..
By 2100 the vast recruiting grounds and fan base of LSU will be underwater. But we shall see those result very much sooner. Vast areas will not be able to be lived in because of salt water infusion in the Drinking supply. These areas will be far from the coast but it will affect the drinking supplies of Cities like Lafayette , Jennings, etc etc. We are seeing signs of this now in the Bayou Parishes. Already the farm based communities that depend so much on Rice are having huge problems
Many will not be able to build homes as the wetlands go and thus cannot insure their homes. Vast areas under I-10 and I-12 will become unlivable for your Children. Needless to say it is likely many who post here will see your grandchildren attending other schools in other States. As the Tax base and population crisis explodes it is very unlikely on average they shall return
This will affect recruiting in all sports from New Orleans to Shreveport. A crumbling tax base will affect LSU as a Educational Inst and will affect Public and private schools in the North. Further the North has its own Environmental problems with a huge Aquifer problem. So massive population growth in the North has limits
Its a small thing in the whole tragic scheme of things. Something that can be vastly mitigated if we act now but I don't have much hope. The rest of the Country does not care. Even Environmental folks don't care. Please note with all this talk of the Environment we are ignored. What will change. If it does it will be too late
Enjoy LSU's Golden days. We shall be lucky if we are not South Carolina or Miss State in the next few decades. In 50 years LSU might be give Vandy a game on occasion.
So record every LSU game you can on reliable media. When you retire you can re live the past that will never be seen again. But you can tell them and show them to your Children and Grandchildren that will be attending the University of Alabama and Ole Miss
