Re: Tiger droppings rumor mill

LSU is desperate for a starting caliber DT. As for the competition argument that never works with athletes. They of course think they'll win it and get the job. If he stays here it's b/c he's happy here and believes in the new staff. On the other hand, if he leaves, he's NOT making a statement abou...

FWIW: Hurley addressed the UK job within an hour of winning his back to back championship. He said he's n...

Re: Elevation Of Baseball to the Next Level

Why would Kingston leave SC? And for Tulane? No possible way EXACT:Y! There's a better chance of me hitting the lottery, twice, while getting struck by lightning as the winning numbers are drawn both times. You don't leave South Carolina to come to Tulane unless you were fired as the Gamecocks HC.

Re: FAU AD Brian White hires Baylor assistant as it’s new MBB HC

Refreshing to see an AD that anticipated losing his coach, had a short list ready, and moved quickly to get the man he targeted. No need for hiring consultants and doing a long, drawn out "nationwide search." I would expect our AD, having moved from Tulane tradition, likewise has a short l...

Re: Hunter sez's

JMU knew they were losing their coach. They had no interest in Hunter. Absolutely none. They're in an interesting situation with both the President and the AD having announced leaving JMU and retiring, respectively. And now they have to hire a basketball coach who won't know who is bosses will be.

Re: Another NFL woke rule

I thought this was another sissy rule until I heard it explained on the NFL network on SiriusXM. They're talking about the tackles where the defender grabs the hip and throws their weight on the lower body. This type of tackle doesn't happen that often and is typically done by a DB on an RB when he'...

Re: Tulane in the new Metro 8

UTSA also announces ticket sales like most other programs. I know the Alamodome looked like there were plenty of good seats available whenever I’ve seen them play. The lower bowl was about 1/4 full. And I also know their tv ratings, for a program that’s won so many games the past few years, suck. Th...

Hunter will never schedule an OOC game that we couldn’t win. They opened the season crushing Sparty in East Lansing and closed it getting the crap beat out of them by a Duke team that played it’s best game in the Scheyer era.

I had to google who JMU was. And then, I only recalled who they were because of how well they played football last season. I'm not saying we shouldn't schedule them, I just feel there are other schools closer with better name recognition with the same/more benefits of playing JMU. They’ve won multi...

Re: JMU vs Tulane (Football)

We play 4 OOC games/year. 2024 will be the first time I can remember playing 2 against a Pee program. We’ve played other SBC teams, why not the best? The risk is losing, and if we don’t want to play them for fear of losing, we’re saying we’re chickenshit. I don’t buy that.

Ironically enough, MSU opened the season at home to one of those mid-majors. They opened with a loss to James Madison, who enters the tournament tied with UConn for the most wins in D1 at 31.
