Re: JUCO issue

I don't even think there should be a cap. No reason we can't let in as many as we need, subject to reason. We should be able to let JUCOs in just the same as new signees.

Re: On-Campus Stadium

How do we know they are $17M short? I thought they had raised $40M and need $60M for the stadium (with another $10M for lockerooms and other upgrades). That means they've only raised $3M since the announcement. I heard there was a $10M donation since the announcement. Anyway, just curious where you ...

interesting quote re: change

Very interesting quote below that UT alum made regarding Texas. I felt the exact same way about Dickson/Cowen at Tulane. He is referring to OU, but you could almost refer to every team on our schedule, hanging half a hundred on us at one time or another over the past few years. Our only constant of ...

Re: Another falsehood

I wish we could just see the plans from Tulane -- the plans and architectural designs for expansion for both Fogelman and the Tulane football stadium. If they would just disclose it and we had the architectural/engineering firms backing it, we would know what is true and what is not true. I know the...

Re: Another falsehood

I actually heard the same thing last night from a big tulane doner -- that there are plans for fogelman to expand to the size, look and feel of Cameron at duke. Frankly, I would be happy if they just expanded it to 6k to 6500.

Re: Better Conference Affiliation = Improvement in Academics

If i was athletic director, I would do everything in my power to get Tulane into a better conference. In the new age of college athletics, that is the only thing that matters. What really breaks my heart is that we were in the friggin SEC. I just wish we could get back in when they go to 16 teams. I...

Re: Dickson Upcoming "Live Chat"

I think we should all send in the tough questions. Why has Tulane gone from #7 to the worst team in the country under your watch? Why has Tulane had a losing season for the ten years, including the longest record of 15 games in a row? What are you doing to get us into a BCS conference? Why have othe...

Re: Ryan Griffin

He needs to simply say that what we are doing is not working and its on CJ (the head coach) to fix it. If that means sitting seniors, changing the calls, changing the offensive scheme, then do it. I don't want excuses, I want "W"s and I want them now.

Re: Big split

I just praying that we get all those recruits CJ has signed up for next season and then some. We need a solid 3 and 4 start recruiting class with filled with local new orleans and louisiana talent to get this thing moving in the right direction. I am thinking we can do well with top notch talent eve...

Re: F.A.S.T. (Fans Against Small Time athletics)

We should write to board and ask why Cowen is focusing in bcs when our football program has slid from #7 to #124 in country and our academic ranking had gone from #30s to #50s under Cowen watch? Perhaps he is too focused on the wrong things?

Re: Billboard

I like "The Tulane Model: 31-84 since 2003" and I would add "Fire Dickson now." Due to the high cost, maybe just have it up over homecoming weekend and then get press for it and copy and paste the billboard all over the Internet.

Re: Seek Big-time football not a small-time stadium

Roll wave roll. I am in favor of a big time football program and a big time on campus stadium. I don't know what the minimum number of seats is, but for me its 35K -40K now and expandable to 50K plus in the future. We need that to be in a BCS conference.

Re: Superfan & lifetime supporter Alden Hagardorn's letter t

Hey, this isn't the dark side. In my view, this is the "real" side. Look, I like all of the facilities upgrades that Dickson is heading up, but bottomline is we need to win football games and I am tired of being embarrassed by directional schools. My sole goal is for Tulane to get into a B...

Re: Super Fan & lifetime supporter Alden Hagardor's letter t

Great news. I am willing to put my name down on any letter that demands better from Cowen and Dickson. I have personally sent emails to a friend of mine who is high up in the Athletics department demanding more change. The more pressure we can put on Dickson and Cowen the better. I am tired of this ...
