Re: Patrick Ramsey

Me too. Talked to him a few times when he was still at Tulane. Terrific young man.

I should have done that. I just tossed it.

Re: "Excellence Fund"

On a related note, I actually got a request for a TAF donation in the mail today. You guys may have as well. I'm sure all those envelopes will be returned stuffed with cash. They should have saved themselves the cost of postage and envelopes. Added on edit: didn't mean to derail. As far as the Excel...

Re: Special Teams

I think you're right. If I'm not mistaken I believe at one point Ken Trahan asked him to be specific about the special teams question and Toledo refused to answer.

Re: Special Teams

And apparently next season we're going back to the "special teams coaching by committee" so that "everybody has ownership." First, this coaching regime tried that approach and it failed. What will they do differently to make it succeed this time? Second, putting a committee in ch...

Re: Fate of Coach Toledo

I am also uneasy with parents of players chiming in. I appreciate their sons playing for Tulane but they are too close to the program. That's a good point. In addition to parent's, there are folks who have all of four or so years being Tulane fans, if that (students, newbies for whatever reason, et...

Re: 690AM Talking Tulane Since 1:00 PM

Good to hear. At some point enough is enough. We do need the local media to keep beating the drum.

Re: Fate of Coach Toledo

In other words, status quo. What they have seen for the last four years is acceptable to them.

I don't know how anyone in their right mind can support this administration any longer.

Re: New Site/Blog: New Wave

Let me add one other thing. Back in 2003 when Cowen was trying to destroy D1 football at Tulane, the only thing that stopped him was his sneaky plan being leaked, resulting in an outcry from outraged alums, ex ball players, and just regular fans. Then we were given the name "lunatic fringe"...

Re: New Site/Blog: New Wave

I thanked you on the other board but will do so again here. Any effort to objectively chronicle what is going on with Tulane football vis a vis the Cowen administration and rationally question the decisions being made is a healthy thing and long overdue. The "thank you sir, may I have another&q...

Here's a fun read

"Green Wave Athletic Director Rick Dickson said he can't judge Toledo's tenure based on wins and losses." That statement alone should have been grounds for at least a public rebuke from his boss. At any other school it would have been at the very least the cause of great scandal. Not Tulan...

Re: Fate of Coach Toledo

Since we're stuck with some of the worst college football in the country for awhile, maybe it's time to get 'firescottcowen.com' going.

Re: Fate of Coach Toledo

We'll know before the end of the week I suppose. I'm for cleaning house. It seems to me people have been laboring to identify and define improvement. Not that there hasn't been any, but nowhere near four year's worth. I don't know how anybody can expect this team to be somehow greatly improved next ...
