Thanks. Have fun trying to get to sleep while thinking about how bad I own you.

LSU charges practically the same student fees that USM does. Why can't LT High do it if they can? It's time to stop making excuses, and just live with the fact that it's not the state's fault that your athletics program is one of the worst funded programs in the nation. It's because your product sucks, and nobody will support a sucky product.

Don't worry, I'm sure y'all will cover that in pre-Algebra.

6.3/11.7 = 54%

I'm sure that division is a graduate course in Louisiana, but it's pretty simple when you use a calculator. Of course, you guys may still be using the old slide rules up there in podunk NE Louisiana.

That would be against the law.

What, using a calculator in Ruston? No wonder you guys stink at math.

We didn't bring the issue up. Eager Eagle was feeding deception to you good folks and we just exposed him as one who stretches the truth against Tech any time he gets the opportunity.

If you guys would stop coming over here and responding to him, his posts wouldn't even get a second thought here. Instead, people like little Johnny come over here and start trying to drag USM's name through the mud, and then it's on. There's no reason to come over here and defend yourselves. When eager posts something about you, nobody really even cares. Not a single person here cares about your school, other than Eager. If you look at page 1 of this thread, most people were making fun of Eager and defending LT until Johnny started saying some UNTRUE crap about USM. Keep him away from this board, and your problems are gone. He has an unstable USM fetish, for some reason.

If someone was dragging USM through the mud with lies on another forum, you know you would want to set the record straight and get the truth out there.

I didn't realize people had already figured out Eager Eagle's MO. If I see him post another lie or half-truth about Tech, I'll just type that that's another lie and ya'll will understand?

Has anyone ever considered banning him since he only posts about La Tech, who is not in CUSA or on any CUSA team's schedule? I'm all for freedom of speech, but he takes his speech to another level. I'm relieved, however, that no one takes him seriously.

If it was every fan there doing it, yeah, I'd probably respond. But if it was some yahoo that everyone made fun of, I'd let it go. Of course, I'd probably never see it because I don't visit the LT board.

This was your first post to Johnny, in reply to him laying out the truth of the situation by posting an article:

"And of that $6M, 100% is private, university money. We don't get money from FEMA. We don't get money from taxpayers. We generate it ourselves from tuition, fees, athletic revenue, and donations. You've already lost this debate one time. Do you really want to lose it again? If you want to carry on with these accusations, at least back them up with facts. Until you show some proof that any of our athletic funding comes from taxpayers, you're just pulling your "facts" out of your azz."

You've learned, by Johnny's presence here, that the state of Mississippi does donate 1 Million of tax payers money to USM yearly. And you clearly believed Eager Eagles "facts" about FEMA money going to Louisiana Tech's athletic budget.

I learned that charging students an athletic fee will generate more revenue than government funding. I think this was a productive conversation. I may even write a Louisiana congressman and float the idea to him.

My reply was to Johnny's claim that student fees are tax dollars coming from the state. They are not. And no, MS doesn't donate any tax dollars to USM athletics. As explained in the thread linked below, USM is allowed to transfer $1M in auxilliary funds, which come from sources such as food sales, royalties, etc. It's still private, university money. It's just non-athletic revenue. Again, USM athletics is 100% self-sustaining. We have to be. It's the law.

You'll notice that lil Johnny failed to show up in that thread, which totally debunked his absurd accusations.

See TWon...he doesn't understand what a general fund is. I don't think he ever will.

How convenient of you to ignore the facts in the other thread. I find it comical that you don't have the testicles to show your face in that thread, which disproves every claim you've made about USM. At least we see what you're made of, girlie man.

What a loser!

Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend all my time here and I just looked at that thread for the first time. I'll say this, there are no links and no proof. And, GoGold's "facts" were contridicted by talons in the next post. The genral fund transfer being based on student population doesn't mean the money doesn't come fromt he general fund. And, I never said that USM got 6 million in tax money. I stand by my documented claim that they take one million from the general fund. I also stand by my claim that student fees are disguised ways to redistribute the operating budget (which is not exaclty the same as a general fund transfer, but pretty close).

I've got proof for my position...the USM budget sheet. I understand that you haven't learned to read graphs yet, but one day you'll learn.

I'm done with you. You're a moron and a waste of time. Check that rep and you'll understand why. You see, if you didn't have me to bicker with, no one on these boards would talk to you because you're such a flamer. I'll no longer contribute to your dillusions.

Good bye...I hope whatever you've got will be cured in the future.

Your proof is non-existent. You post the numbers, but you don't have a clue as to what they mean. A half-dozen people have tried to explain it to you, but you are either incapable or unwilling to grasp the concept that MS is NOTHING like LA (thank God!)

I don't think that they'll be coming up with a cure for GENIUS anytime soon.
