Re: Northwestern Series Thread

Why did they take Price out? I simply do not understand using so many pitchers and taking out pitchers when they have low pitch counts and are doing well. The rubber game of opening weekend against a weak opponent when you are losing is not the time to check out all your potential pitchers.

Re: Northwestern Series Thread

I was at both games and have these observations: 1) It is going to be a long season. From the first two games we need to improve hitting, fielding, running, throwing, pitching, catching and two or three other things. Northwestern was a bad team and our glaring skill weaknesses are going to be all th...

Tempest in a tea pot. There will be some players transferring to Houston which isn't a big surprise (some of them simply because they want to play for the coach that recruited them). Sumerall will need to work the transfer portal (which thankfully is pretty full this year). Within 3 months none of t...

Re: Jon Sumrall - New Football Head Coach

IF FSU leaves Tulane has to be willing to play football in the Dome for conference games and to play basketball in the SKC for conference games till it can get the on campus facilities to whatever levels the ACC requires. The only way we won't have to do that is if a slew of other teams leave and t...

Re: 2023 FAU Score Prediction Thread

Score prediction is Tulane 45- FAU 7. This will finally be a game where Tulane is in control the whole way (except perhaps the coin toss) and we will see back up quarterbacks running up the score in the late third and fourth quarters. Unfortunately, Liberty will similarly be running up a smaller yet...

Re: G5 New Years Six Watch

None of it matters except we won and AF lost (and James Madison won big). If Tulane wins out then we should be playing a New Years bowl, if we lose another game then we go to the Who Gives a S*** Bowl. Winning out, and drawing big crowds along the way, will also ease the way to an ACC bid once Clems...

Wyoming is looking good. If they beat Fresno and then next week beat USAF Academy, Tulane should be back in the driver's seat for the New Years bowl unless, of course, Wyoming sneaks into the conversation.

Re: ACC looks at Stanford/Cal

Whenever people bring up Tulane to the P4, tell them that Tulane vs USA in 2023 had less than 54k viewers. That should leave an impression.

It is truly irrelevant where we land in the 20-45 of any poll at this point. If Tulane runs the table, including the conference championship, they will end up in the mid teens and should end up in a New Years bowl. Obviously if another non-G5 team has a similar record with no late season loss, speci...
