UPDATE- The Hayride has a good post on this here and the fallout.
Well there have been big hints that the proposal to merge UNO (University of New Orleans) and SUNO (Southern University of New Orleans was more than just talk.
Looks like Jindal is seriously looking at it from a new conference today.
However one important Southern supporterand grad not too happy.

I do object vehemently to the merger between SUNO and UNO. Louisiana needs fewer colleges like an alcoholic needs less rehab.
Yeah ok whatever. It appears are others are not too happy either.
Oh well I think it needs to be done.
