Re: Evanston Roll Call

I'll be at The Hangge-Uppe the night before and after the game. Saints play in Chicago next year. Would be great if it were the same weekend If, by some miracle, it's the same weekend, I'm there. I don't know the "Hangge-Uppe" but I can explore. I'd also spend some time at the Cubby Bear ...

Evanston Roll Call

If anyone is coming up to the Northwestern game and has any questions about where to stay, eat, do, get to the game etc. let me know. To say I'm very excited for the game would be an understatement.

Re: Are we alone?

The worst decision was made in 1949 when Rufus Harris de-emphasized sports at Tulane. That mentality still permeates w/many involved w/the school and its athletics program. Perhaps but Northwestern and Vanderbilt de facto had that position and are still in the P5. I get what you are saying but I st...

Windy must be bored. Hasn't been around here in months. Spends all his time on the Yoggie board getting in meaningless arguments. Maybe they banned him again and that's why he's back.

Miami is the closest analogy to me. Rose from peer/worse southern independent in the 80's.

Are we alone other than Rice in this effort?
Is this a good thing?
No. . . .Every other good private school is in the P5 or is DIII.

Re: Are we alone?

I'm not denying that. But the way I see worst decision is the one that puts you in a hole you can't get out of. For example, you're down by 15 points with 30 seconds left, and you score a TD. You're down nine. You're going to need a 2pt conversion at some point to tie the game. Do you go for it now...

Re: Are we alone?

Yes, but using your analogy, if we make the decision to go all in for Athletics and view them as the "front porch of the University" in the 50's and never leave the SEC in the 60's, the score is 69-0 by halftime. The second half is meaningless. At the worst, we're like Vanderbilt. At the ...

Re: Are we alone?

We will agree to disagree. You think that not hiring Infante on the spot was a worse decision than those made in the 50's and 60's to de-emphasize Athletics and leave the SEC. I think those decisions dwarf an individual coaching hire. We're both entitled to our opinions, and both of us obviously fe...

Re: Tulane sells land in CBD for $15M

A very bad omen. Entities in trouble liquidate assets with an 80 plus years revenue guarantee. Entities thriving build and acquire additional assets. Cowen Plague continues to hurt us. Right.

Re: the RD...PR machine

No plausible grounds? A Board member just publicly stated that we can't be successful. And yet we hold no one accountable for 15 years and then say that's the right answer because success isn't possible. If there is no secret agenda, what is the plan and why can't we compete? Out with it already. T...

Re: I don't judge on wins and losses aka the UCF game

If the roles were reversed and we scored two garbage time TDs against their 2/3 stringers to cut it to 14, would you have said that UCF just squeaked by? Or that we got blown out? If I was a UCF fan and the roles were reversed I would be pissed too. We don't have that killer instinct. We don't want...

Re: I don't judge on wins and losses aka the UCF game

Yeah, we put the back-ups in waaaaayyyy too early. Drove me nuts. Taking the starters out too early could cost you a game or two. I found the playcalling lacking as well. Not enough Zeddy or Badie. Two of the best athletes Tulane has saw minimal playing time. What was up with that? I respect Rob Ke...

I judge on the product on the field and I found it . . . . . .wanting

Our coaching drives me up a friggin' wall.

UCF is fooking horrible and we effectively squeaked out a win. That's horseshit, you know it, I know it, and the American people know it.
