Re: 100 years of Tulane FB

I cannot believe it's now over 30 years old! We need an addendum! I remember watching this and thinking "wow, 100 years of Tulane playing football." Now I'm shocked that 30% more time has passed!

Re: Spring Game Report- 2024

Connor Lytton, the BC PK who should have 2 years eligibility remaining, is in the portal as of yesterday. He had a pretty good start to his career, taking over as a true Frosh and starting for two years before missing last year due to injury. Worth investigation, IMHO.

Is GB arguing that Horton is better than Manning?
He has been since Manning was in HS, why would he change now?

Re: Quarterback Competition?

Ty hasn’t done anything to deserve #1. Really a disappointing performance in the spring practices. He has size, he has the arm, & he can run. However, his accuracy and his knack for throwing interceptions is concerning (same thing applies to Horton). The fact no one won the job by any margin is...

Re: Spring Game Report- 2024

Great report as you always do winwave. Is Trey Cornist really going to be a factor or did he get PT due to injuries? He intrigued me being a 3 time (HS) conference player of the year.

You never turn away a top local athlete. That's how you get noticed locally.

Perhaps a little positive “unintentional leak” would light a fire for contributions. Or even better, a full disclosure of what the grand plan is, why we need it, and what our ultimate conference goal is--that might trigger an avalanche of donations. People will be far more willing to donate for spe...

Where does he fit in? WR is our deepest position already if not cornerback. We have a ton of talent at WR, probably the most in program history. We have needs at OL and Edge.

Re: Going to be a long spring and summer for AD Harris

I'm warming to Harris. That said, I still fear he's one that will only take us as far as the rope the BOA gives him. I don't think he'll fight for more, for a deeper commitment, to be ahead rather than catching up to our competition for the last few tickets out of the land of have nots.
