Nicholls vs. LSU, Tiger Stadium, October 3, 2020.
Tigers, we all have to do our part. #MaskUpLSU
ALT Mascot Mike the Tiger stands with his finger pointed to say No. 1. He is wearing a custom LSU face mask, and he is standing on campus with the LSU Memorial Tower behind him.

Football team has been stranded in Illinois airport since playoff game yesterday (17 hours). There have been several human factors in this unacceptable situation, none of which are attributable to @GeauxColonels. Thank you @SIU_Football for helping. @NCAA needs to make changes.

To the student who commented that the university’s emergency preparedness team (EPT) was “two guys looking out the window of Elkins.” The EPT consists of a dozen highly trained professionals augmented by one keen-eyed dog looking out the screen door at Prez Rez. @NichollsState

Initial indications are that @NichollsState came through Hurricane Ida with only moderate damage. Our service region was not so fortunate. Over the next several days, we will be identifying the critical needs of our students, faculty & staff who call the Bayou Region home

What is our greatest need? It’s temporary housing for students, faculty and staff displaced by Hurricane Ida. Large Thibodaux and Houma apartment complexes, deemed uninhabitable, were home to hundreds of students, including many student-athletes, like these soccer players.

I wear this with great pride because our Senators Allain and Chabert and Reps Truck Gisclair, Sam Jones, Robert Billiot, Tanner McGee, Chad Brown, Zee Zeringue, and Dee Richard voted for full funding of Nicholls and TOPS. Join me in thanking them @NichollsState #Lalege #lagov

1500 first responders on campus; 500 guardsmen on campus to replace them. 137 pre-Ida commuters now campus residents; students/employees with families/pets being placed now on campus. 160 dorm rooms and apartments sheetrock replaced. 60 rooms carpet replaced by rugs. Move in now.

If you were one of the ones swimming on Leighton today, go take a shower. Flood waters are dirty. To solve this issue we will work with our local and state officials and look to our masterplan. This is a low area that was once a flooded rice field. @NichollsState

But in order to see everyone in the fall, we have some work to do.
