and I hate like hell that the playground I grew up at is now named for Pontiff

Just because U die, doesn't mean you have a building or a street named after you, there are several young men who died way before Pontiff, and the name was not changed because their parents did not pay off the right people. I may be incorrect and TPS may be of help, but if memory serves, Pontiff grew up playing at Lakeshore Playground...The Pontiff family did not think that Lakeshore was large enough for the name to be changed there, so Metairie Playground was targeted... I should change my original post from "hate" to "disappointed'

TPS...thanks for that link... There were many kids who grew up at Metry playground who were excellent students and had success at their chosen sport.... that said, I do not think any building or public venue should be named after anyone, if you don't pay to have it built or developed, it doesn't get your nametpstulane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 4:15 pmNot sure.

Heck no we should never play them at Zephyr. If Dannen allows this game to go forward with Tulane playing in the WPC in 2020 we will never get LSU to ever come back to Turchin. I still can’t believe Dannen told LSU yes to this but hopefully he will change his mind if he hears from enough Tulane fans on this.

I agree with this. I also know there's been talk of us being the permanent opponent in the WPC. It would keep us playing every year and we wouldn't have to go to the Box either, Not sure what I think of that proposal. Probably against that as well.Sunamiwave wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 6:17 pm Heck no we should never play them at Zephyr.

Here’s why we should not get tied down with that game. We are visitors.
