Re: Tulane Super Fan Green Wave Man

Since I'm a non alumni sports supporter, what gets me is most people ask me 2 questions. 1) what is my connection to Tulane. 2) Why do we support Tulane I always say, I'm a local who supports my local universities. Grew up in St. Bernard so it was either Tulane or UNO. UNO doesn't have football so ...

Re: QB Ty Thompson

Money Oregon spent in NIL to replace Ty Thompson, if he was their future why not spend to keep him!!! GB, whether or not you meant this to be negative, it clearly sends the message that if Thompson were better, Oregon would have tried harder to keep him. Instead of making posts about Thompson which...

Re: Chip Kelly Leaves UCLA

The timing of this coaching change can’t be particularly good for UCLA. Kelly had only a $1.5 million buyout. The move should be an easy one for him as he is reuniting with Ryan Day at OSU. Day is his longtime friend and former assistant coach. Kelly coached Day in college at New Hampshire and Day w...

The following data is from a site I use to collect college sports stats. Here's the offensive rebounding info as of 2/4 for the bottom 13 of the 362 NCAA basketball teams. I don't have the basketball technical knowledge of many of you, but I believe that if we weren't statistically last in offensive...

Re: Charlotte Beats Hunter 75-71

He began by moving the Tulane bench to the opposite end of Fogleman (screwing up many long-held season seats, including mine). Did he give a particular reason why he made that change? We had just finished a season without a single conference win. When he took the job, he said he was going to change...

Re: Charlotte Beats Hunter 75-71

I had basketball season tickets for ten years. I was prepared to forfeit them after the disastrous Dunleavy years. Then came Ron Hunter and his brash talk of being in the NCAA tourney his first year. I accepted that as coach-speak, but it made me feel good and I renewed the tickets. Hunter came in p...
