Re: Tulane and LSU host FB camp in June
I probably would have forced LSU's hand on the game they owed us as part of the deal but that may not be something Dannen or Fritz wants at this time- maybe wait until we are in a better position to win. Also, I disagree that the camp will increase the threat of poaching from LSU. LSU is the elephan...

Re: Tulane and LSU host FB camp in June
I see it a different way. TU loses more recruits to out of state schools than to LSU, which is why its no secret that CWF has wanted to pair up with LSU over an out-of-state P5. Attract the same level of recruits, serve as their host, and don't have to compete for the recruits at your own camp.

Re: Tommy Bowden...
Never ceases to amaze me how many losers hate Bowden. Only at TU do fans bad mouth the most successful coach in the past 2 decades at TU (our only quick turnaround ever?). He deserved to be honored by TU and I venture a guess that this wouldn't even be a discussion if Fat Cowen hadn't screwed him at...

Re: Baseball Coaching Search
If Dannen shares your logic, then I sure hope you're both right. His inexperience as a coach in any capacity worries me. Out of curiosity, was he interviewed at Alabama?

LSU then hired Smoke because they wanted a guy with head coaching experience. Lol. Are you suggesting that college baseball today is comparable to college baseball in the...

Re: Baseball Coaching Search
If Tulane is AC's dream job, we will get another shot at him. Hell, if he thinks TU should be a national power, he should expect not to get first dibs on the job. Let him get some HC experience. TU should not be in the business of grooming HCs- especially not in baseball. I don't understand the urge...

Re: Baseball Coaching Search
I will stop short of saying that Cannizaro would be a bad hire, but he is not a known quantity in terms of the level of success he would bring to TU as a HC. THose of you saying he should be hired without a search have severely low expectations, i.e. you don't appreciate the Dannen era yet.

Re: ULL Game Thread
This is a good opportunity for Tulane to pick off a top 25 opponent. The Cajuns have played poorly on the road - particularly in midweek road games. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum from this past weekend and jump on them early.

Agree. I hope we are looking for someone energetic and out to prove something - no matter the age necessarily. To that end, is anyone else alarmed that Meacham "was never a candidate"? He was OC of a top 10 offense in a conference that we are not-so-secretly hoping to join... If he was con...
