Quite a flip-flop from the one who has obsessed over Horton's high school career for the past three years. And a 180 from your preseason and early season evaluations of Pratt, last summer/fall. All it took was us signing Ty Thompson and your entire talk track goes into reverse. ABSOLUTELY THIS!!! I...

Just because someone enters the Portal does not mean they would have interest in coming to Tulane, not always about money sometimes location and other factors, quit jumping the gun when you have no clue if they would want to come here. Time will tell. Not filling the board with maybe"s!!! Go f...

Celestine and Traynor have entered the portal. In the Sumrall video, he spoke extensively about our #2 RB, but I couldn't hear what his name was---we're they talking about Barnes? Yes he was talking about Barnes who has gotten in much better shape. Shaadie looked good when he played too but got nic...

One more example of the old saying, "90% of rumors prove to be true."

Thanks for that D. Sounds like a good get if we can land him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iizH73By2Qg Clearly Harris has the Gibson Hall talking script in hand--lots of mumbo jumbo about waiting for opportunities. One bit of encouragement is the recognition that we need to "be ready" for such opportunities--something that we should have done at ...

use the 7 million to relocate the baseball field off-campus. Use the damn baseball area for football the sport that counts the sport that makes the money. This would make CENTS, but you are dealing with people who may be senseless You make no freak in sense the baseball complex is here to stay, mor...

This would absolutely be the right move--and the students will still have their Brown field playground.

What would you expect to hear? We already know the IPF will be started after graduations end. If there are private conference negotiations going on, no one is likely to be leaking it to a public booster blog site. Perhaps a little positive “unintentional leak” would light a fire for contributions. ...

About five Audubon Blvd houses are affected by Yulman, everyone else are just piling on. Give the five homeowners a financial put option and screw the rest—and build the west side second deck.

Mr. Slatten, can you give us an update? We appear to be doing nothing to position ourselves for conference realignment which appears to be very close to happening again. The silence is palpable. This is going on at the same time peer schools are announcing and making substantial strides towards cha...

I know, I know. Shit, social media in general. It's so overwhelmingly negative, and most of the negative projections (because that's all it ever is) NEVER HAPPEN. 8-) If it bothers you so much, don't come here which you rarely do with anything helpful anyway! If you and daengineer think Tulane has ...

Cincinatti Bearcats are investing heavily in a combination IPF and Performance Center, wondering if we have enough room to tear down and start from scratch to build such a facility on either side of the stadium tear down Wilson and use the practice field to the baseball field or combine Hertz and R...

Kelly was offered a job and took it. It was that simple. He loves Tulane just as much or more than anyone on this board. If you only knew how badly the coaches at Tulane wanted him, how much Kelly wanted it, but in the end Tulane would not create such a position. It is as simple as that and Tulane ...

Actually, had we done more on DEI would’ve been higher in the rankings. Did you actually look at how the methodology of the rankings changed? The reason for DEI at places like Harvard, is to compensate for all of the legacy admissions they give out. There aren’t a lot of minorities getting legacy a...

The bigger concern may not be that we are ranked #73 among National Universities, but that were ranked #114 for Value Schools. Pay more and get less isn't a strong attraction.

good basketball player too...I think Hunter might try him at Center (he's 6'2") :lol: :lol: :lol: It will take the young man too long to learn the very intricate defense and this new phenomenon of not rebounding. That would be analogous to a football program utilizing a "no blocking"...

A first class, large and modern football operations building AND a full-size IPF

or

a baseball field

That really is the question.

Dannen and Fritz both gone. So does Harris and Sumrall want to stand up for it? I guess time will tell. I’m more concerned about the bubble aspect of it. I have a feeling it’s going to be bush league if they go that route. A bubble is definitely bush league—looks awful. So much for campus appearanc...

When you read the story, there should be violins playing in the background. Athletics is trying to reclaim land that was previously confiscated from them. Fewer than 800 signatures out of 9000 undergrads and 5000 grad students isn't overly impressive. Dannen and Fritz both gone. So does Harris and ...
