Sean O’Keefe: American Gladiator?

Outgoing LSU Chancellor Sean O’Keefe pens a rather unique resignation statement, quoting Teddy Roosevelt no less:

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better … The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause …

Apparently the Chancellor’s job is a little more physically demanding than any of us realized.
