So volleyball won 5 matches total in 2014 and 10 in 2015. 8-4 to start this season. That is a very impressive turn around. Especially seeing all the career high's for those same players. With 20 games to play in conference I suspect more conference AAC program 1st will happen as well. They finished ...

Going to be a close one. 24-17

It would be a heck of a story if they win this tournament, getting 3 tournament titles out of 4!

Going to be great weather. Just a quick shower at worse. I like the energy on campus! New day for Tulane athletics.

Just saw VB swept Clemson!! HUGE win on the road. Not only did they beat a ACC team, last year they were 0-12 in road matches. 2-0 this season.

Wife and I in town for this one. What's the best place to tailgate??

What's interesting is the 2 highest rated opponents Tulane has played this season they beat. Southern Miss and UND. Top 75 teams. What is a very good sign is Tulane beat UND with a top player out.
Big game hunters!

At best Big 12 add 2 and see how things go. Tulane just needs to continue to get athletics supported and funded to help the coaches win and good things will come.

Wow golfnut that is generous.
I like this thread!

Wow the house that Favre built.

Also, just looked online at last years schedule. The team was 0-12 on the road last year. Changed that in a hurry! Volleyball leading the Green Wave charge.

This is a big upgrade. Great higher for Dannen. Thats pretty hearty praise. If I remember right you were also big Burke supporter. I thought Brooke was pretty good at finding coaches but don't know much else about her and TD is taking care of the coaching. I was but Lebron is just what Tulane and D...

This is a big upgrade.
Great higher for Dannen.

My wife and kids were in town and made it. They were blown away. She said the team was tall, fast and hit really hard:)
Was very impressed! Nice crowd for a scrimmage to.

This is solid scheduling. Not sure why some on here think scheduling stupid tough is the right course. It's not. This is just about the type scheduling the Tulane program needs to maximize its ability.

You got me thinking Lurker. So I looked to see if there were any FEMALE teams that have gone from last to first. Didn't see anything show up. I'm sure there is but not to the level of men's teams I suspect. Women don't forget easy. Men forget what happened 3 seconds ago:)

I don't know if a sports team has ever gone from last place to first place in one year. I do like the challenge though. I've become a fan!

Tulane has no shot this year but I agree if the Big 12 holds off, Tulane could position itself like a Vanderbilt and get in if football can win and pack the seats.

This is not the replacement for Burke.

Travis will be a terrific head baseball coach at Tulane. He is there for the players and they respond to that. Looks like Dannen is re-organizing coaches and his staff who get it to. The days of self centered, ego driven coaches and administrators are over. They can't keep up. When an administration...

I think 5 wins is do able with this staff. Will take a great effort. But the climb will start!

I'm hearing great things. Interested to see how big a jump the program makes.
Schedule is Meh but I do like the Clemson tournament the coach was able to add.
Last to first is ambitious:)

Pierce would likely stay and keep building the program. If more $ continues to move into the athletic department and TD can get admissions to work with athletics Tulane will keep good coaches much longer. Have to get the self imposed obstacles out of the way of the coaches so they can compete. This ...

Impressive story. Looks like Kushner interviewed all 3 coaches and got some nice insight. Can't remember this type of complete shift in a department quite like this. Hope the New Orleans people jump on board and get to the games. It can't work without that. This is the time if there ever was one. Ha...

Not going to happen yet. Adding 2 teams only increases the Big 12 chances by 4% to get s title game. Not enough to get them to change yet which is good news for Tulane. They are looking at around 8 possible schools to fill the 2 spots and Tulane isn't on the list. The only way that has a chance of h...

The national attention to the program is going to have a big impact in recruiting. Hearing some big prospects are interested.
