Re: Tulane VB. Nations most improved team

Tulane fans there is very very few, probably none, overnight athletic fixes for all teams at one school. Dannen has made great hires. They only way it works is if good fans stay patient and supportive. Negative crap is going to just bring negative crap. It will happen at Tulane. Great coaches in pla...

Re: Tulane VB. Nations most improved team

Tulane VB almost sweeps the All-LA awards.
Player, Newcomer and Coach of the year.
Congrats!

Troy Dannen made a huge hire here.
His other highers will pan out after they move in some of their players.

Re: AAC Coaching Carousel - Herman gone, Rhule gone, Taggart gone, Montgomery...?

Hearing the same thing about Kiffin and Riley to AAC schools. Don't see Montgomery leaving yet. He gets 10 wins next year than off to a P5 school for sure.

Plus side is AAC jobs are becoming very lucrative. Better coaches jumping in can push the P6 narrative the conference is trying to sell.

Re: UNO crushes the Wave 74-59

After the Fritz hire and the Dunleavy hire I can only imagine the depression on this board when we realize how bad Dannen passing on Cannizaro was. Essentially Dannen'S AD career is that he brought on some cool Uniforms for football. I think it's a little early to judge any of these hires yet. Four...

Re: Tulane VB. Nations most improved team

Incredible turn around. This doesn't happen often. Not this fast. To see that many players have such big improvements in 1 season is a great sign. Can't wait to see how they improve after getting 2-3 classes in.
Great eye Troy Dannen!

Re: VOLLEYBALL locks in 1st winning season!

Depending where Tulane finishes in the final RPI it does look like the team will have the biggest improvement in the nation. Looks like around a 150 RPI move up.

Tulane sweeps Houston 3-0 tonight. That is win number 15 for the season. They were 10-22 last year. With 5 matches to go the team has made a very nice improvements.

Re: 2016 Tulane Volleyball

SMU broke some Green Wave hearts this weekend. The volleyball team completely out played SMU who is in 1st place. Had match point to win and lose 14-16 in the 5th set. I was able to attend. Blown away with the level of play and how hard the team played and how well they are coached. Great things for...

Re: SMU Game Week Thread

Use the playbook we used in the 4 overtime game. Quick passes short and then drop a bomb. The QB has a quick release, go to his strength and take pressure off the line with quick passes.

Re: 2016 Tulane Volleyball

Looks like Coach Barnes has 2 of the best Louisiana players coming in next year. One from New Orleans. Right now Tulane is the best volleyball program in Louisiana. Way ahead of LSU. So I see the best coming to Uptown.

Re: Big XII Expansion

I said all along they would not expand. And this is the best thing for Tulane. The AAC is a very good conference for Tulane. Expansion will likely be looked at again in 2018-20. Time to get Tulane at the top of the AAC.

I didn't believe another head coach would say that but you are right, it's on Twitter. It is very impressive how this team is in every match. Sign of great coaching. If they had 1 more hitter they would have beat the top team Cinci. They were 2 swings away. Good to know we have one on the roster. Ju...

Re: 2016 Tulane Volleyball

Sounds like Shaw was out due to a concussion. Hope she is ok and not out long. Didn't know that happened in Volleyball.
I saw on Twitter that the teams RPI moved up to 78 from 250. 1 game out of first place in the AAC. Roll damn Wave Roll!

Re: 2016 Tulane Volleyball

Kirk is a obvious disgruntled former parent. What team wouldn't want a break in the middle of the season. Especially if a player is injured as the above post points out. These are decisions made by the top of the university and conference. Looks like 4 VB teams are in Tampa to play this weekend.

They are at win #9 after winning 10 last season. There is over 2 months left of the season!

It was strange to see that many cramping. Hope we are addressing that. In Reality Tulane was only a few plays from being 3-0. Green Wave fans have to find hope in that.
