Good thing we don't play in the AAC.

Glad to see Cairo excelling in his 2nd year, especially since he started last year a little uneven.

The encouraging thing was seeing the offense mix things up with their tempo. You can't change the plays, but it's nice to see them try a faster rhythm; it seemed to throw off UCF in the 2nd quarter.

O'leary's career ended today. We are coach killers. I wouldn't go that far. UCF is coming off a conference championship last year and a Fiesta Bowl win two years ago. They've had players picked in the NFL 1st rd those last two years as well. UCF would be dumb to let one bad season cause them to dum...

Imagine the bellyaching had any one of Lee/Badie/Veal gotten hurt in the 4th qtr with Tulane up 4tds.

I suspect that the buyout will be reasonable, particularly if Tulane suffers through a 1 or 2 win season this year.

It's pretty evident that Tulane is in no position to be a training ground for inexperienced career position coaches during their next head coaching hire.

I look at a program like Duke and wonder if something like that is remotely possible at Tulane. Both have had similar, multi-generations worth of futility, and Duke was actually far worse than Tulane prior to the Blue Devils hiring of Cutcliffe. Even though this may be considered a rebuilding season...

Four seasons in and it's clear why CJ was never given an opportunity to be even an offensive coordinator, much less a head coach. I'm certain he tries hard, his players like him and he's been well received by the local high schools. But outside of landing Monroe, Smart and perhaps Badie, his recruit...

Scottie Montgomery, Assoc HC and offensive coordinator at Duke:

The team has scored an average of 12 points a game in their last 10 games dating back to 2014. Take away the 31 pt outing against UH, and it's down to 10 points a game. The CJ/Eric Price offense is plain embarrassing. I understand that the hiring of CJ was going to include a developmental period for...

Another possible motivating factor for Tulane to climb the rankings is to help justify their top 20 tuition

Just idle speculation, but I assume that UNC is facing severe sanctions and perhaps a loss of their football program. I wonder if this will push the ACC to look to add a new member and if so who would be the most likely targets? Obviously they will be looking for a clean program. Tulane is probably...

I know that downsized ambitions occur when we get killed by the Rutgers and Duke's of the world.. Duke is the model that Tulane should aspire to in every single facet, both athletically and academically. Getting trampled by them in football today is not the same as if it were to happen even five sh...

A thin receiving group just got a lot thinner.

Looks like my decision to decline renewing my season tickets was indeed a wise one...and will stretch into at least 2016.

Why is Tulane reverting back to CUSA-era scheduling? Like Nature Boy Ric Flair says, "To be THE man, you've got to beat THE man!".

Fogelman/Devlin will always be a problem...until it isn't a problem. An empty Fogelman will always be a glorified HS gym. A packed Fogelman with the students at a fever pitch is a huge home court advantage. It's not always a numbers game. Duke plays in an indoor "stadium" that seats less t...

It's either the school or the kid that's want to end the relationship. Like us, UCONN is trying to upgrade its talent. So here's a case were the school probably ran him off to make room for better talent. And then UCONN lands a 3rd-schooler: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/128...

I thought Perry Clark did well his first few years at Tulane. He put in a lot of hours in recruiting and had a great staff. My opinion of his last years at Tulane I felt that he was lazy with his half million dollar annual salary. I saw him every day with his girl friend at Houston's on Saint Charl...

The only thing left to do is turn off the A/C in Devlin/Fogelman and reinstall aluminum bench seating in the student section, and we're good to go.

This article illustrates the value of having well connected assistants, as tpstulane has said time and again.

"Kipper Nichols, guys like that I think they can do a lot and we may not be done. They may be a piece added here."

Conroy in the T-P. I'm guessing there's a grad transfer they're talking to here?

The roster above lacks experience and a face-up power forward , both of which Henson would bring. Last season Henson had a higher TS%, a higher total rebound rate and more than double the Win Shares than Jarreau. The "Box Plus/Minus" lists Jarreau at -0.1 and Henson at -0.5 which means th...

This might be the most anticipated season of Tulane basketball in nearly 20 seasons. Unreal on several fronts. The great thing about getting all of this talent is not only being genuinely competitive with the top conference opposition from a talent standpoint, but it will create tremendous competiti...
