Fine, but why is it seemingly impossible for Tulane to field a competitive program?

We're actually hoping for a win against FIU. Ridiculous.

It should still be LSU, except our buffoon ex-president thought football was unimportant.

Wake Forest 27
Tulane 13

North Dakota State is way, way better than Southeastern.

The Board should have replaced Dickson five years ago and replaced him with a Dannen-caliber AD who could have fully assessed the situation. This would have certainly prevented a small, rushed, permanent facility. In any event, I'm just thrilled that Tulane hired someone with no ties to Cowen/Dickso...

Yes, 30k was/is a total fudge and I would submit to you that the stadium doesn't advance the football program in any way.

At least we have a competitive adult running athletics now.

I understand Grambling, but UAB won't bring any fans. Scheduling is tough business, though.

Yep. And building a too small stadium made sense only to Dickson. I guarantee that Dannen would not have built a 23k stadium.

Tulane is 26-71 in football since 2008, yet we're going status quo while throwing good money after bad on a tiny stadium and something called an Olympic Village.

Pull for USC, JJ. Great private school with big time football.

Our only hope at this point is for the AAC (read: Aresco) to hold Tulane's feet to the fire and insist results. Because Lord knows our leadership doesn't care about winning.

Goldring must love losing!

1. It only seats 23K. 2. It does not help recruiting or get Tulane any closer to a P5 invite. 3. The Superdome is a world class facility only 4 miles from campus which is ideal for a passing offense. Tulane needs to get back to having outstanding passing offenses. 4. Tulane went 12-0 and finished #7...

A. CJ
B. Toledo
C. Scelfo (highest winning % of the 3)

I would take Scelfo any day of the week over CJ.

Come on now. CJ makes Scelfo look like Bill Walsh.

A CJ Tulane team would lose to a Toledo Tulane team. No doubt in my mind.

And the Dome was better. Perfect conditions to throw the football.

It's a wash. The 2011 team beat SE and UAB before quitting on the season. The 2015 team beat Maine and 0-10 UCF. At least the 2011 team could score.

Our deplorable record in football recently needs to be highlighted. 25-70 since 2008!!!!!

Dear Lauren:

Roll Tide!!!

I'm sure the atmosphere on the quad was just great. LOL.

Exactly. And we blew $75M on a stadium that provides no home field advantage.

We're hoping to find an AD as good as RD according to Bill We Can't Compete Goldring.

UConn 27
Tulane 19

Special teams mistakes, poor game planning, poor blocking, rain, UConn talent, turnovers, dropped passes, coaching, not judging by wins and losses and lack of discipline are the culprit.

How far we have fallen since then!
