Re: Jaxon Smolik Commits

Cal has offered him. He got a late invite to a camp for elite QB's and did well there. His rating of 86 equals, Kai Horton and Ibietas rating, Pratt was 84 Unbelievable Greeniegb. Do you really think anybody cares about what their high school ratings were--especially if the ratings are a whole 2 pt...

Re: Tulane #6 in APR

Heads need to roll. This is inexcusable. Finish 2-10 and have that APR is a disgrace. When we were .500 the last few years our APR was in the mid 90's. I'd rather have wins on the gridiron than the classroom, but both performances are lousy. I've always felt the same way, D. Other than staying elig...

Re: USC and direction school UCLA

If you believe that the Big 10 and SEC will move on to 20 teams each and become the P2, then there will be huge reshuffling of the PAC12, Big12 and ACC as they settle into their new minor league roles as the p3. Despite all of Tulane's self-inflicted wounds over the last 70 years, if Fitts and Danne...

Re: USC and direction school UCLA

I thought this move would open up a spot for Tulane in a better league. Unfortunately it looks more like the SEC is the NFC and the Big 10 is going to be the AFC. Apparently there’s a lot of outlets seeing each league having 20 teams each with 4 separate divisions very similar to the NFL. The TV co...

You would think San Diego state would finally get the call for the pac 12. The acc will lose fsu/Miami/Clemson.
