Miami is the closest analogy to me. Rose from peer/worse southern independent in the 80's. Difference is didn't have history we have nor academic rank, though they've raised that significantly during their football rise. Unfortunately Rice is our situational peer ... Tulane was the Miami of 1979. H...

BTW: Nico Marley is a horrible football player. Yes, I said it! He stinks! Put a middle linebacker out there, not a smurf for God's sake! He's a media darling because of the legacy of his Grandfather - he should be benched. I have never bought into the greatness of Nico! He tries to be a Troy Polama...

I'm out! Got better things to do on a Saturday afternoon than watch this sh*t show. Coach killer U! Dannen did quite a job to convince Coach Fritz to hitch his horse on Willow Street. The sobering reality is setting in for Coach Fritz. No recruits, no recruits, no recruits on the way without a sign ...

Coach killer U!
I can watch other games...

De-emphasizing Athletics and ultimately that decision leading to leaving the SEC ranks right there, if not ahead of not hiring Infante or Rich Rodriguez. We're in a whole different ball game had the administration in the 1950's emphasized football and future administrations saw the value of Athleti...

Is there an example of a G5 private university with top 50 academic ranking who has established a perennial top 50 football ranking in the post-BCS/P5 era?
Are we alone other than Rice in this effort?
Is this a good thing?

This is getting a little off-topic but I don't think Herman's success at Houston is a guarantee that he succeeds in the SEC. That is a HUGE step up and he'll be facing a lot better coaches and players every week. Herman can be successful at LSU, his system was pretty good at Ohio State !!!! http://...

This is getting a little off-topic but I don't think Herman's success at Houston is a guarantee that he succeeds in the SEC.

We need a six conference structure with relegation and ascension enforced nationally. The "old boys club" has to be a thing of the past. A playoff system should consist of the bottom four ranked of each P6 conference champions playing each other in a quarter-final. The top two ranked teams...

Why can't we stack a deck on the West side & wrap it to the North & South?

Dannen has dropped the ball with game day experience. Last year season ticket holders like myself received an email survey after each home game. I believe Barbs Burke handled it. I've gotten better service and food at Tad Gormley for high school games. "We over price and under deliver" is...

Once again we've squandered a really good defense that will not be the same next year without some mature JUCO additions to the interior d-line. The guys we have returning inside next year are going to experience a rude awakening to what life is like without Tanzel.

When Tanzel leaves after this season our defense will have to adjust to 11 on 11 football. Right now it is our 11 against their 10.
JUCO d-line ASAP & a true dual threat QB.
Nico won't play on Sunday.

I agree with Ruski. 1. The AAC went 3-12 against OOC FBS teams that currently have winning records, and, if one would like to remove the ranked teams, the AAC went 3-6 against FBS teams with winning records that aren't currently ranked. 2. Houston, which was a lock for the New Years Six G5 slot and...

We wore the blue pants against Clemson in 1981, if my memory is correct.

Michigan State & Syracuse to this very day make their early recruitment of African-American talent a central theme in their recruiting pitch. Why not Tulane? I do not understand. What exactly are MSU and Syracuse doing that makes "their early recruitment of African-American talent a centra...

I noticed we have 2 recruits from Hoover in Alabama. PJ Hall was also out of Hoover. Was this a CJ relationship? Did this years recruits sign with WF or CJ? Would be nice to continue to build the pipeline there. Hoover High is a very strong program located South of Birmingham. Willie Fritz & st...

Thought some of you might find this interesting. This is referring to our commit, Stephon Huderson. Those are some serious numbers for his size.
