Show us where it says the AAC/TV told Tulane they were playing on that Thursday night. It doesn't say that. He clearly states that if Tulane had picked Saturday they might have been give an afternoon game. He then later says it was Tulane's preference. Game over.

Except he didn't say TV moved it. He said it was Tulane's choice in the second to last paragraph.

I personally am excited to have a highly sought after OC, especially one who is motivated to kick as much ass as he can (leading our offense) to get a better gig.

+1,000,000

Meant to mention that USF is favored by 9 1/2. They were picked last .

I hope Hall has signed a Tulane contract that calls for a HUGE buyout if he leaves before he completes his first season. If that clause is not in place, I'd hope Fritz says to him "no more interviewing for another position until after the 2019 season." If he does, cut him loose just for i...

Does anyone here believe that an AD would move a Saturday game to Thursday night because he believed it would be good for attendance? I'm sorry, but I can't. Despite evidence to the contrary, Troy Dannen must have woken up this morning and said "gee, let's move our season opener to Thursday ni...

It's not easy to find information about the expiring ESPN contract, but I've found some. There's a lot more about the next contract the AAC will negotiate, and ESPN has exclusive rights until the current contract expires. Aresco has the right to talk to other media outlets, but cannot sign a new de...

Yes, they do, as far as I understand it. Its just odd this season because there were 3 teams.

Thanks .

I said they haven't finalized what networks are covering which games, but the media tells the Conference "you will have this many games on Thusday, August 29th" The conference either tells us we're playing that night, or maybe gives us a chance to pick which Thursday nights we play, and w...

The source is fact. The game is not scheduled for TV at this time. Your source is your SWAG. It doesn't matter to you b/c you aren't going to the games. To those of us that can it matters. The numbers show it. These are poorly attended games. The students are already gone for the weekend after clas...

Yeah, I believe that. Name your source or it's hearsay.

As if anyone would do that. Good way not to get information.

You people act like Tulane is Notre Dame with the ability to tell the networks when they will allow themselves to be broadcast. Ideally, we want everyone at the opening game, but if Tulane gets the opportunity to get some airtime as one of the first games of the football season, they should take ad...

as I've posted several times here TV hasn't set this game at this time. So at thgis time this is on Tulane.

His name was mentioned in an article in Alabama last week when it appeared Brown would get the job.

There will be plenty of time for the staff to practice for Auburn in advance. All good staff's do that. all we are talking about is 2 days here.

Serious question. The conference had a tie breaker and Memphis won it. Does the conference recognize us as co-champs?

Like I said this is a Tulane choice. It is not mandated by TV. It will likely get picked up at some point but it hasn't been at this pint just like the WF game last year. Source? I'm speculating, but would imagine the networks have an agreement with the conference that we'll have x number of games ...
