Joe: What would you suggest? Do you think the the students and alumni are in a position to force out a president who apparently answers to no one? Do you think that the students in the majority care like we care? Personally, I think its all a done deal and the fate of Tulane football has long since...

Guys: its a done deal. That became clear when they retained this incompetent coach and his staff. The admin thumbed their noses at those who have a real and genuine love of Tulane. Its time to give all the same talk a rest. So what are you going to do about it? Obviously you still care, or you woul...

I'm willing to lead the effort. Just get in line.

The same talk over and over ad nauseum about what we need, in effect, a commitment from the admin. It ain't coming! Should it not be clear to all that Dickson is just a yes man and Cowen wants an end to football? There will be no success or improvement until Cowen is gone and by that time, football...

The main problem with our athletic program is that our administration has never been pro-active (except for the review :oops: ) They wait until the program is on life support, then try to play catch-up to the middle of the pack in a bad CUSA league. I really believe RD is just following orders from...

I just do not want to come on here and run everyone in the TU Athletic Dept. down. There are some good people who are there, I realize that. But, the lack of leadership that Tr!cky D!ckson has shown during his time here is the main downfall. His hirings have just not come through. Cowen is just in ...

Jonathan you obviously know more about all the new media than I do. But how about putting a you Tube video together explaining your effort, what it's about, etc? You could include some TU football history and so forth, maybe even with some old film footage/stills to show where we've been relative t...

If you want to help with that effort, like the New Wave Facebook page or follow the Twitter account. Getting those numbers up is how we can collectively put pressure on Dr. Cowen.

Ed Conroy seems like the real deal, but its too early to draw any conclusions. Looking forward to seeing the team in action.

I'm still p!ssed and will not become unp!ssed. You're right in that Toledo is the coach and there's nothing we can do about it now. At this time next year we'll be looking for a new head coach after another crappy season. But the idiot running Tulane football into the ground needs to feel pressure ...

It's a good question but beyond a doubt where the situation now is hugely different is that this was before all of the scandals of 1980's. There are light years and vast oceans of difference between what the coaches were allowed to do at recruiting time then and what they must adhere to now. and th...

I will. And do not underestimate the power of Facebook. It's worth $50B in the private markets for a reason.

If we can start getting alums on board, it will snowball. It will be easier than anyone realizes. But it's time to do something, because this is simply ridiculous.

Let's start rounding up the numbers and do just that.

"Jts" from "YOGWF" isn't lurking around here, is he? I'm sure some have caught wind and are lurking. And if any of them want to join and discuss over here, not a problem. I'm sure he doesn't have the guts to take part in discourse where he doesn't make the rules and delete posts...

Nicely done, IM4.

Please, "like" the Facebook page for "New Wave" or follow the account on Twitter. Cowen has proven that he'll ignore individuals, so it's time to band together somewhere. Facebook/Twitter is an easy way to do that.

Nothing against those guys over there, I have friendships over there, just some of the people over there think they are bigger than they are. I esp don't like people "saying if you don't like it you can leave" crap when you have an opinion that differs from theirs. I am also uneasy with p...

One thing we don't need is Tulane keeping anymore secrets about what they are doing with solicited donations, especially if they are for football.

Someone spill the beans.

After this season's horrendous special teams' play, someone on that staff deserved to be let go. Compound the fact that outside of Ole Miss, Tulsa and UCF, Tulane had just as much talent as everyone else on it's schedule. The offensive scheme, lack of motivation by both the team on game day and by ...

Let me add one other thing. Back in 2003 when Cowen was trying to destroy D1 football at Tulane, the only thing that stopped him was his sneaky plan being leaked, resulting in an outcry from outraged alums, ex ball players, and just regular fans. Then we were given the name "lunatic fringe&quo...

Started a new blog to chronicle the poor leadership and begin gathering the support needed to apply pressure to Cowen and the administration.

Check it out, like it on Facebook, follow on Twitter and let me know what you think.

Any avenue that allows free speech and open discussion about Tulane athletics is great.
