We can. I was hoping this poll/thread would stay Tulane related. Nothing stopping other general bowl threads.Profoundwizard wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 9:18 pmWhy can’t we just allow free flowing conversations to occur?

WGNO’s Ed Daniels reported that last night as well. I wouldn’t think a huge amount of Tulane fans would be interested in traveling to Orlando to see us play ULL. I’d happily go see that in the New Orleans Bowl in the Dome though. If it goes down then we need to win for recruiting purposes. It would be better if ULL wins this weekend and we won’t have to play them. Instead we’d get Appalachian St.winwave wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 4:53 pm Could be ULL in the Cure Bowl:

This game is on a Saturday and more importantly wouldn't interfere with NSD that week as would the Frisco and Boca Raton.

One thing to keep in mind, we have a lot of alums around the country. I would think no matter where we go, a number of the local alums would consider going. There's a ton of alums in South Florida.winwave wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 9:14 amI hear ya but let's be honest there aren't going to be a lot of people traveling to see us in any out of state Bowl game.

That’s the early signing date. I don’t think it would have much impact even if we were playing on Dec 19th. You’re talking about a fax machine and a Tulane official picking up a sheet of paper. I believe the Feb 2019 NSD is still the big day for G5’s like Tulane. I also think the bigger names will wait to sign on that day with the P5’s.winwave wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 9:14 amI hear ya but let's be honest there aren't going to be a lot of people traveling to see us in any out of state Bowl game.

For selfish reasons I’d prefer a bowl closer to Louisiana if possible for driving availability.
That argument is always used to say we have to play in the NY area or here or there to please the alums. Yet we end up with very small turnouts. I hope we have a good turnout for the Bowl game but realistically I doubt it. People wouldn't even bother to come to the home games. Hopefully WF follows through on the philosophical change and offense and all that changes next season.RobertM320 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 10:24 amOne thing to keep in mind, we have a lot of alums around the country.

IIRC we signed the bulk of our class as did most others in the early period. I think the coaches would differ with you .Show Me wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 11:52 amThat’s the early signing date.

I’m torn. It’s easy for me to convince friends to come back to New Orleans for a bowl game (ie the one time we went to NOLA bowl). I think I could get a good number to go to Florida . . . But not mid week. Who can travel midweek out of state ?
This isn’t an excuse and I myself and several others will still be there. . . But a midweek bowl doesn’t seem like a recipe for successs.

In nyc and la the alums events are well attended, I have attended many. I went to a crawfish boil in nyc this summer on a 100 degree day and there must have been 500 people there ( and the tickets were ridiculously expensive). In nyc people get together regularly to watch Tulane games in the city despite our perpetual losing. I can only imagine what would happen if the norm was 7-5, 8-4, 9&3 and occasional conference championships. All things considered people stay relatively engaged on the coasts despite the narrative that demonizes all of the out of state Tulane alumswinwave wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 12:27 pmThat argument is always used to say we have to play in the NY area or here or there to please the alums.

No one is demonizing anyone. Over the years the games that were scheduled there have not drawn the large amounts of people the AD claimed they would to justify the games.

The purpose of those games is not to sell thousands of football tickets to area alumni, it’s to provide a venue and context for the administration to solicit big money donors in that locale for the academic side. The face time that Fitts gets with 20-30 of the *right* people is all they really care about.
Right now Appy St. is a 16.5 pt. favorite over ULALA. And, the game is at Boone, North Carolina.tpstulane wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:25 amI can’t see ULL beating Appy St. I tend to agree otherwise.Show Me wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 6:47 amWGNO’s Ed Daniels reported that last night as well.

That didn't work out either.

If the bowl game in Orlando was on a weekend, I'd consider going to it. But mid week is a no way for me. I still hope for the Military Bowl vs. Army on Dec 31st.

Dave, if you're talking about the Cure Bowl in Orlando, that one will be played on Saturday 15 December. Kickoff is at 1:30PM EST.
Rumors are that Tulane may be assigned that bowl though I suspect the decision won't be made until after the Cajuns and App State play their game tomorrow as the loser of that game will go to the Cure Bowl, the winner to the New Orleans Bowl. I would imagine that Tulane has expressed a disinterest in playing there if the Cajuns end up in that game, which I understand. We promise to do our best to end up in New Orleans.

As Wave755 points out, obviously after having stumbled across the betting line on our game, App State is the heavy favorite and rightfully so. They're the class of the conference this year. Having said that, I'd image that few here thought we'd be playing in the championship game.tpstulane wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:25 amI can’t see ULL beating Appy St. I tend to agree otherwise.Show Me wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 6:47 amWGNO’s Ed Daniels reported that last night as well.

Tulane's website has Dec 15th penciled in for bowl info may be a clue. Besides that it may depend on the UCF/Memphis game. If UCF gets upset it could cause a bowl shift . One other thought. The AAC is contractually tied to ESPN. but CBS Sorts Network owns the TV rights to the Cure Bowl. Only one or so more days until we know for sure.

Are you aware that trips to the northeast and Cali are also meant to engage rich alums for academic purposes as well? It provides a convenient excuse for Fitts to have dinner/meetings about endowment contributions, then host the rich guys/girls in a suite at the game.winwave wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:53 pmThat didn't work out either.

Actually, since Appy State & Troy are both in the Mighty 'Belt East Division, ULALA beating out Ark. St., ULM, So. Alabama & Texas State for the West Division "crown" was quite predictable. And, since Sagarin ranks Appy St. 45, ULALA 111, enough said.cajunfanatico wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:31 am As Wave755 points out, obviously after having stumbled across the betting line on our game, App State is the heavy favorite and rightfully so.
