Re: Tulsa 38 - Tulane 31 2-OT

I think we all need to slow down a bit before we anoint Lee as the second coming and start projecting him to go pro as a RS Soph (I think Manziel was the first QB ever to do that). Lee had about as good a game as we could have asked for. However, we have no idea what Tulsa has this year, and he didn...

Re: Tulsa 38 - Tulane 31 2-OT

After all that went wrong in the 2nd qtr/2nd half, we had a chance to win the game because of Badie's 70+ yd run down to the 8 with 2 mins left. Inexcusably, we didn't sub Badie, and instead ran him up the middle for a rather predictable no gain. We then threw a fade out of the back of the end zone ...

Re: Let's be honest.....

Unfortunately was not able to watch the game until the 4th quarter but a couple of play calls that really made no sense to me were the fade on 2nd down before Dirocco shanked it and the toss to short field on 2nd and 4 on the opening drive of OT. Both were crucial downs that we wasted. Don't get me ...

This is correct. Hightower was named starting QB as a true freshman before the season and started until breaking his back.

Can someone please explain why Gautreau is being given anything other than a courtesy interview? What in the world has he done at Tulane, or elsewhere to warrant serious consideration for this position? He may very well make a great coach one day, but he has done nothing up to this point to deserve ...

Re: Potential Tulane Baseball Coaching Candidates

I heard some disappointing reports re: how practices were conducted after RJ left this season, which would seem to explain the mental lapses this year and cast serious doubt over whether Gautreau would be the right man for the job at this point. Also, I heard an interesting rumor recently that RJ st...

Re: Baseball Preview @ San Francisco Tournament

The bats have gotten consistently worse over the last decade or so. Offensively, we need a spark beyond talent. Look at what has happened with ULL since they hired Matt Deggs away from A&M - batting average rose 60 points in one year. IMHO, Jones deserves to ride into the sunset, but he needs to...

Re: New President Is Michael Fitts

Put me in the 'wait and see' group. Fitts being a lawyer, one could argue that he carefully chose his words re: D-1 status.

Re: Tulane 39 - South Alabama 41

Absolutely pathetic. This is on everyone from administration on down. This is a low rent athletic program and that's why these losses routinely happen to TU. It's on the players to play, and I think the L proves they didn't today (you won't convince me USA has more talent). As for coaching, well, yo...
