They were concerned about traffic, overflow crowds and the potential of folks walking through and parking in their neighborhoods and potential noise. I bet you're right that many have had their fears allayed. But there are still going to be some who complain because they have nothing better to do. R...

That $7 million would barely buy one those houses lol +1 Yes. That shipped sailed when we failed to buy all the houses around campus that were being given away after Katrina. Xavier University made a huge land grab after Katrina to expand their footprint while Scott Cowen beat his chest how he alon...

This is the Plan: https://always.tulane.edu/athletics/ That plan will eventually get us caught up to where our competition was when it was announced. Already the competition has stepped up and we'll be playing catch-up not only before the "Always the Audacious" plan is completed, but even...

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...

You never turn away a top local athlete. That's how you get noticed locally. This guy has tremendous potential And if he catches another 18 passes, or fewer, he will transfer out, which will be a wasted scholarship. There's only 1 football and roughly 65-70 plays/game. Numbers dictate that he won't...

Projected #107 4th Round NY Giants https://theathletic.com/5418352/2024/04/17/nfl-mock-draft-2024-full-seven-rounds-dane-brugler/?source=user_shared_article I'm a Giants fan, and this would make me very happy. It makes a lot of sense because the Giants need a QB, but won't spend a high draft pick o...

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.

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.

The Big 12 gave Tulane a blueprint in 2016 when we were being considered as an expansion candidate. We dropped the ball and weren't considered for their next round of additions which took place last year. If the plan gbg referenced, the "Only the Audacious" plan is in fact built around the...

Who in hell is watching Nebraska football? Those numbers are ridiculous. People are tuning in to watch Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, and the first game of the year against Minnesota (one of 2 to 3 national games shown the first week of the year). It would be like us playing Texas, Florida, Alabama...

While this was a pretty despicable act by Dannen, I don't know that anything could actually be done to him. I don't know what his contract with Nebraska says, but I'm not sure they would have grounds to fire him without payout. While sleazy and totally unethical, Dannen has committed no crime that ...

Good read. Apparently Cal wanted a new practice facility and was denied. Called UK “a basketball school” and that insulted the FB coach and AD. 🤨 https://theathletic.com/5405889/2024/04/10/john-calipari-arkansas-head-coach-inside-story/?source=user_shared_article Very good read. I'll bet his Razorb...

This.

Viewership outweighs TV market size by a margin too big to be measured.

Kai is clearly battling Thompson for the starting job. And winwave is rarely wrong about depth chart type stuff at this time of year and over the summer. He goes to the practices frequently and his practice reports over the years have been his best contributions. He’s no Johnny come lately, either. ...

Collectively the most wins in a 2 year span in the history of the program, forget 90 years. We've never had back to back 10 win seasons prior to 22-23.

It's refreshing to see someone who recognizes when he's making "enough" money that doubling his salary doesn't buy his services. I'm talking about Danny Hurley who told Jim Rome why he's not leaving UConn: “No. I think being who you say you are at your core. I know how much UConn and the s...

Could this be why Dannen got out of Washington so quickly? Rogers, however, was allowed to return and play in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, and then the College Football National Championship on Jan. 8. According to the handbook, the decision to allow Rogers to play had to be approved by the athletic di...

Only to you Dave! Do you think that Tulane is stepping up to the plate. Lets hear from the self-anointed Board expert!

She was very impressive. Worth the watch.

Thanks for that heads-up. I'll watch it during a rainy day in the Northeast, with The Masters being delayed as well!

Wish he got better coaching while here at Tulane. He'd have a better shot at playing in the NBA. I think he's going to play elsewhere, and that's a shame. He's a fine young man with a bright future regardless of his playing future.

Did we forget Coach Cal has won national championships, has taken teams from the OLD Atlantic 10, and C-USA to the final four, and been in the championship game a few times? From 2005 to 2015, his teams failed to make the Sweet 16 ONCE. Three times in those 11 years he bowed out in the Elite 8, twic...
