New York Times has called. Big Mike did the interview today as to his take on UAB dropping football as compared to what happened to Tulane in 2003. God I hope he blasted Scott Cowen.

Yes I know the Cajuns are going to the NO Bowl because the champ Georgia Southern is ineligible from bowl games this season since moving up. The weak SBC schedule limits any access bowl. Look at Marshall this year. You'd have to go 13-0 to get any shot. That's not likely to happen for any school. F...

He tore his ACL in Newman's last game. Wow, brutal couple of weeks. i wonder if he would have been going as hard if he hadn't opened up his recruiting. I'd have no problem signing him and redshirting him in 2015. Injuries happen, just one of those things. That injury will affect his recruiting thou...

I could see that happening. Makes sense.

By coincidence, an NOPD unit was traveling behind her ...

Hudspeth signed a six year extension in June, at a base salary of $950k. He sure showed us last year which team was better prepared to start the Bowl game. Also, Tulane hasn't EVER been to a bowl game four years in a row. Bottom line is that UL-L has their program on a more solid foundation than we...

I've seen Jesuit play a few times this year and I've always been impressed with their tight end. Foster Moreau can catch and is hard to bring down. He's an "old school" type of TE. Good offer there.

Have to make a game this year.

loyala's predictive RPI was 232 before the Tulane game. Tulane's before tonight was 168. Tulane's power rating was 11 points lower. Since we are early in I think this shows us to be better than last year and that is about it. However, I doubt we finish last in the AAC this years like the coaches pr...

We'll beat every team we play if we can match their size. We have problems with bigger teams. That's why we run that offense. We are guard heavy and lack a legitimate post player.

Tulane wins 27-24

Buds has the better burger. Five Guys has the better fries.
Five Guys opened here in Covington a few years ago. I went a lot after they first opened and thought they were great. But after awhile it's not that great. Company Burger is better IMO.

I went back and looked at the Tulsa, Duke, GT, Memphis and Houston games since Monday to see where Lee's mistakes were made. Most of them have been made misreading the zone coverage underneath. When the linebackers buzz into underneath zones or corners playing zone drop off their main receiver and ...

What happened to Mack? As much as I want to take away positives, we still don't know anything about this team yet. The guard play seems legit and I like some of the things the bigs have shown but interior D and rebounding still looks very shaky. This weekend will be the best gauge so far. As to Mac...

I was at the game, we looked pretty good for stretches of the game. But Loyola is bad, and small, so a perfect match up for us. As I have said in the past, we'll beat smaller teams, and Loyola didn't have anyone over 6'7. We dominated them on boards in first half to take early lead. Drye had a grea...

Yes but they are not beating the legit competition they have played. Their only wins are against their cupcakes.

The American is not as strong as it was last year. I think we will a few more than people think. +1 So far it seems so. AAC standings: SCHOOL OVERALL Tulane 6-1 Cincinnati 6-1 UCF 5-1 USF 5-2 Houston 2-1 UConn 3-2 SMU 4-3 Temple 4-3 Tulsa 4-3 ECU. 4-4 Memphis 2-3

4th straight NO bowl. Looks like ULL has reached it's ceiling.

Took the lead early and never looked back. Saturday will be a bigger test, but this road win was surprisingly easy. We are a better team this year. But same as Football the schedule is much tougher. Hit 19-21 free throws in the 2nd half. Beat them on the boards 37-22. Tulane never trailed. Biggest ...

Back to the topic. The next two games are two highest non conf RPI teams on our schedule. It's a good gauge to see if we have really improved. We need at least a split. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/groupId/62/teamId/2655 Washington and St Johns are the other top 100 RPI's we'll ...

Impressive double digit road win 83-70. 6th straight win.

I believe this is the one remaining game that will not be broadcasted on TV.
Radio only.
