Re: Weather for Storrs, Ct

At the same time, it's not reasonable to think that UConn won't play any home conference series until May. High Schools and other Amateur leagues are starting up this week. Heck, I remember many years ago going to opening day at Yankee Stadium with snow falling. Maybe not May, but another week or t...

Re: Wave kills the tiggers 7-1

We didn't throw one of our weekend starters. We just happen to have five pitchers GOOD ENOUGH to be weekend starters.

Re: Weather for Storrs, Ct

The snow forecast is very touch and go, but not expected until Sunday night into Monday. It really wasn't right to schedule games AT UConn right at the start of the conference schedule. Guess they were paying back for two years of UConn playing football in Yulman. Especially when you have four scho...

SEC with ten teams! LOL... what a farce!

I LOVE the way Dannen is so transparent about his process! He talked about what he was looking for, about getting the call regarding Dunleavy, about meeting him in NYC, etc, etc. It makes you feel like he's including us in the process, which is how alums and fans SHOULD feel.

Re: Telling of Dickson's Tenure

After watching the Introductory Press Conference there should be no doubt that this is an incredible hire for Tulane. I even enjoyed the subtle swipe that Fitts and Dannen took at their predecessors. Dunleavy is connected in the basketball community all over the world. He is going to bring unpreced...

I didn't see Coach Byrd offering to take the job. Looks more like Ed Daniels has an opinion and conveniently interviewed a coach that had the same opinion.

Re: Telling of Dickson's Tenure

I would give Fitts the benefit of the doubt. Remember, there were bigger messes to clean up than athletics.

A sense of humor from TD.. Troy Dannen ‏@TU_Dannen 3h3 hours ago We shall overcome this! Fear the Wave ‏@FearTheWaveBlog My only knock against Dunleavy at this point is that he has never coached at Sam Houston St. Going in with open mind though. https://twitter.com/TU_Dannen/status/714481509248315393

Re: Tulane's New AD - Troy Dannen from UNI

Nice guys can win and tough guys can lose. You still have to coach regardless of the content of your character. Conroy and Teevens may be the two "best" men we have had at Tulane. Regrettably they could not fill the job description and moved on. Cowen's issue is that for whatever reasons ...
