Yes, I do believe that the day is coming quickly of major changes to the whole structure, with the NCAA coming apart, the SEC et al. breaking off, athetes winning their rights in court. As far as whether this academic year coming is somehow a make-or-break year for TU sports, I don't know. I do see...

The facility issue is particularly pertinent regarding our almost total rebuild in Bball. The practice facility obviously helps but just about everyone has one in major D1 Bball. Devlin is an albatross that other coaches, especially AAC coaches, will use against Tulane. Yulman is fine right now, des...

Sounds like someone was less than honest on the stand. Or at the very least didn't have the authority to speak about those decisions. Strange to say the least. I can't imagine the coaches and the school could have already made a firm decision in favor even before the end of the trial. This person a...

I'm just acknowledging the reality of things. The reason that schools offer athletics scholarships in football and men's bball is of course not to just have students come to campus and just quietly go about studying their sport just for the pure scholastic value of doing so. What it all is in reali...

This happened last year to Burl. http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2012/05/tulane_football_player_lawrenc_1.html He was caught with marijuana and looked like he was dealing it too. That's much worse, gun and baggies. After Burl was arrested, did a team director say publicly that he would be welc...

The article seems strange as he mentions ULL as a possibility but there's no way he'll be able to transfer to an FBS school and be eligible immediately, even if the NCAA decides to grant a 6th year. Tammy should have known that. I really didn't expect him back anyway as I just don't see the NCAA gi...

The term "student-athlete" that some people seem to like to refer to mean something along the lines of the idealistic image of "regular student competing just for the love of sport" is actually something else. It's actually meant to be legal term identifying athletes as having a...

It's oficial he's not coming back: http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2013/07/former_tulane_linebacker_trent_1.html#incart_flyout_sports Ok, ok I feel like a crazy person. What the hell is the story with the director of FBall operations testimony? Someone explain to me why that was said? If it wa...

What's the big loss? The last year he pitched he had a 1.98 era and would have been our best relief pitcher if he was healthy. I would say that is a pretty big loss, especially when you lose your entire weekend starting rotation. OK, let me ask you this. Since neither one of us know the full story,...

The latest....Yes or No? http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2013/07/weigh_in_on_your_trent_mackey.html In regards to Tulane (not the NCAA) taking Mackey back, doesn't any conversation have to begin with the fact that the director of football operations testified under oath that he would be welcom...

Something is fishy about that whole message. I'd like to believe it, but I'm skeptical. For one thing, how would the guy know Trent passed all his drug tests? For another, why wouldn't the media, especially Tammy, bring out that his trial didn't mention weed? Conspiracy theory? Who knows. If this i...

http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9491666/latest-developments-ncaa-electronic-arts-lawsuit-significantly-change-case I don't know where I stand on paying the athletes, but obviously the NCAA is a joke. The thing I will never understand is the selling of a player's jersey's for $100 and yet the ...

The wave report, Tulane's Rivals site, has the scoop on Mackey's status. Really? I couldn't find anything other than a dated article outlining the not trial and guilty verdict. Here's something that people should read. This came to me via-email. This is not the entire email, but something I thought...

If we don't come in the top 3 of CUSA and NIT/NCAA I bet 100% hes gone. 1) I disagree unless we get a new AD. Not saying he may not be fired but it isn't even close to 100%. I can already hear the excuses and bullshit. We showed growth, we have a great recruiting group coming in, we recovered nicel...

Convincing your players they can win is different than calling your opponents weak, just my opinion. I did not like the quote but its just intraweb fodder.

Are you saying that we should deny families the opportunity to educate their children because it gives public universities an unfair athletic advantage? I am saying that you don't hand out easy subsidies that essentially do nothing but move around tax burdens. I am all for programs like these but m...

Like the attitude, don't like the coaches talking like that.... Tell you what: if you want to win, you got to get your guys to believe they can win. It may not be politically correct to say it out loud and in print, but you got to make your guys believe it is possible. It sounds like Coach has a be...

Well that did not come from the TP, I think it came from a blogger who was at the trial. Simple question, is there a transcript.

Also, sounds like the low pre-season ranking has given them a chip on the shoulder. I'd say: use it wisely. "I didn't know we were picked sixth," Tulane senior receiver Ryan Grant said. "I'm not sure who these people are that are making the picks -- they could be 27, they could be 57...

TOPS is a joke on every level...TOPs is basically tied to LSU's admission standards and allows basically any incoming freshman to LSU to go to college tuition-free, paid for by the taxpayers. It should be for scholars...it isn't. TPS I agree, but you would have some major issues if you treated it d...

Well over the last few years, they have all been correct regarding our suckiness. With that said, I still see 7 wins, but though the schools on the schedule lack any name recognition, I think they are better than what many TU fans realize.

Tulane picked to finish 6th in the West, barely ahead of UTSA. Clearly the rest of the league does not think we can go bowling.
