Re: Early take on spring football
Very encouraging article. I didn't appreciate the across-the-board depth indicated in this article. Next fall can't get here fast enough.

Re: Tyjae Spears
I'll add a touch of Tony Dorsett--from the standpoint that once he breaks free, his acceleration in the first 10 or 15 yards is unmatched--but at the same time is max speed won't enable him to outrun some NFL DBs. If he can stay injury-free he'll have a fantastic pro career.

Re: Pratt for Heisman
Despite what was posted above most all here have made it clear they would support such a campaign. Coming off that Cotton Bowl win and #9 ranking it's a no brainer. If nothing else, it would be a nice gesture on behalf of the University for all he's doing and has done as a 4 year starter. He might ...

Re: Tulane Beats USC 46-45 to win the Cotton Bowl!
An observation on the winning Cotton Bowl catch: Could the official that called the pass incomplete possibly taking the position that he would rather his incomplete call be overturned then a touchdown called the overturned. We all know that it was a touchdown, but at that point in time could that h...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
Those rankings prove we're as good an option as anyone left on the board, that's all we have to be. On top of that, we are an AAU school, we operate in a recruiting hotbed, and we are in a top 50 TV market. I think we're in pretty good shape now that the football program is ranked. Exactly.

Put your BS flag back in your pocket D. Last year, in our worst year in sometime, we were #66 and actually had a higher per game average of viewership. And only slightly below UCF's average, and again well above UH. Cincy and UCF show that sustained winning can improve viewership. The bottom line i...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
The Louisville fan base has never seen Tulane as a serious or worthy opponent. In fact, if the ACC rules enable any member to veto a new candidate school, I don't think we'll ever get an ACC invite just because of Louisville. Hopefully the ACC rules require more than one veto to keep a school out. ...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
I lived several years in Louisville. Louisville always considered Memphis at a key rival, and at best would be indifferent as to which of the two schools should be invited to the ACC. And more importantly for us, they would vastly prefer both over Tulane. Without knowing, I'd bet if anyone had ANY ...

Re: Tulane Beats USC 46-45 to win the Cotton Bowl!
Consider the last Tulane play when Bauman caught the pass in the end zone that was ruled incomplete by the official: It wasn’t that the referee called it incomplete, he was dramatic and pounded the ground several times emphasizing his call. To this I say, WTH??? Clearly the ball never hit the groun...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
Personally, I think 16 is a farce. How can you legitimately have a "conference champion if most of the teams don't even play each other. Even with 16 teams, if you're playing 9 conf games a year, you may be seeing some teams only once every 3 years. Is it really a conference at that point? I c...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
Really what this shows is that the PAC is very vulnerable and needs to be proactive. Big12 flipped the script with their additions, PAC needs to do the same. The problem is that Big12 took all the obvious schools. Adding SDSU is so obvious, they really need to get over their elitism and do it alrea...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
To date, it seems that when conferences stand-pat, bad things tend to happen. In that regard, the Big 12 has vulnerabilities at both its new western outpost in Provo (which might be seduced by a surviving and reformed PAC16), and on its east flank (SEC and ACC) where WVa., Cincy and perhaps UCF migh...

Re: Interesting tidbit regarding future P5 expansion
If the PAC gets poached yes the Big 12 likely expands by adding from the PAC. If the PAC doesn't get poached, which is the part I responded to, the Big 12 likely doesn't expand. When they went down to 10 teams they din't expand. Instead they go the rule changed in order to still have a CCG. I agree...
