Re: Tulane Football Head Coach Curtis Johnson

If the wins continue CJ and staff certainly deserve raises. However I don't think we need to worry about other schools coming in this year. Other schools looking are aware how bad this schedule is and we aren't doing anything innovative like RR did. So the raises and extensions should be there just...

Re: FAU Game Thread - FAU Opens 4 pts. > Wave

I'll try again. Original was buried in previous posts. Sad and odd piece of sort-of related history here. The Tulane basketball point shaving scandal broke because instead of normal few hundred dollars bet on a Tulane basketball game against (yes) USM, the amount bet went through the ceiling on acti...

Re: Bowl Projections ... and a few comments

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I know as fans we can count wins based on what we thin of our upcoming opponents. But we are not a juggernaut. You have to admire what we have done but it's clear that we can be beat. We have to beat FAU on the road or it all falls to sh*t. It's ridiculous that peo...

Re: Bowl Projections ... and a few comments

I agree with those preferences as well. I was also disappointed about that new bowl in Miami at Marlins Park that will be run by the AAC. They're talking about using it for the AAC champion, against MAC/SBC/CUSA opponent. How unattractive can you get? I haven't seen anywhere that said the champion ...

Re: Tulane taking over the city!

With two losses and virtually no chance of finishing in the top 25, this doesn't feel at all like 1998 to me. 1998 team was dominant. And it was against a MUCH better schedule. This is a team that's growing, that's learning how to win, but far from dominating. Yes, the D is better than it's been in...

Re: Stadium Capacity

Perhaps this is a better illustration as to why the correct stadium capacity is the answer to "what gets us an invite to the ACC/Big 12?" rather than how many tickets can we sell over the next few seasons?" You think you have the right answer but that's only because you don't underst...

Whatever we have to build to get into the Big 12, we should be building it now! 2019 is way too late. Jersey, I just threw out a number. Damn, people take everything so literal. Maybe its 2015, 2016, 2019, whenever. I have no idea. The thing is, as was just said above, without a fanbase, the Big12/...

Re: Stadium Capacity

Safe prediction: Regardless of capacity, if rumored home schedule for 2014 is correct, TU will sell out opening game against SELA and second game against GA Tech. After that it may very well sell out the season depending on what will happen in 2013 and the rest of the 2014 schedule. If TU wins in 2...
