Re: A Multi Million $$$$ question

Richard Yulman wanted his name on a football stadium, not a practice facility or dining hall or library or latrine. How unfortunate it is that he did not listen to winwave but instead spent his own money the way he wanted and not the way winwave wanted.

Re: Rice U. Kicks of $100m Fundraiser

We’ll be losing to Rice soon. :oops: No doubt. And they will quickly pass us on the P5 Hopefuls List. This is exactly the kind of commitment that we need, and can’t get out of Gibson Hall. Somebody could drop a $100 million on us tomorrow and we still wouldn't get in a P5. That ship has sailed.

Is this some kind of sabermetrics? What do we learn from knowing the endowment-per-student ratio other than ours is very low compared to almost every one else?

Re: The New AAC

Walking home from Yulman on openig day I encountered a female grad student (from out-of-town) who bemoaned the money wasted on the stadium as opposed to being used to bolster academics. I know every college has those types but they seem a lot more plentiful around Tulane. I also want to add that the...

Someone explain to me how urban commuter schools with no national profile became football powers. Memphis, Cinci, Houston, Louisville for a time.

Re: Vote on the worst Tulane AD in the last 50 or so years.

I think some of y'all are nuts, but this is nothing new. First, in the poll Hindman Wall is given credit for beating LSU thrice but nothing is mentioned about the Wally English fiasco much less the shutting down of the basketball program. Any other candidate on this poll would have to literally mur...

Six years in is not a lack of patience nor an itchy trigger finger. At a program historically bad as Tulane it is.

If we fire Fritz after three straight bowl games (the first time in the school's history) we will have a tough time replacing him. Who would want the job?

Personally I think when you make one player bigger than life, the team is looking for him to win the game and others don't have the excitement. The team and fans putting Pratt on a pedestal may have been negative to this point. When physically he can't deliver it hurts the team. We need others to f...
