Who here is going? It's one of 2 this year I can actually make. I'm still probably going to go, but if something else comes up, well, you know...

I'll be there. Hopefully Griffin is ready to start, if so I think it could be a close game.

We may get blown out, but Smu kind of sucks. Not far fetched to think we can keep it close with Griffin.

I'm going to every game. F*** the administration and all that other BS. I'm going to support the players during the hardest times.

Griffin struggled in the first two games and SMU just shutout UTEP 17-0. I see a 34-17 type win for SMU (if Griffin plays) in this spot, which I'll concede would be close by Tulane standards.

Tulane has a four game window to win a game this year, starting with UTEP next week.

I would call a pick 6 and 3 balls that would've been pick 6's if not dropped struggling.

This is what you said in an earlier thread about RG-

"There were times where I thought he could be pretty good. He's changed my mind this season, we need a new starter next season."
Tulane didn't have a stadium issue it had a program and facilities issues. To the new President- we want a new AD , a football facility and an IPF. We want top 25 programs in football and basketball the only two sports that count.

I know, I wish we did have a better QB, but he's the best we got. With him we might actually have a chance to win a few games.

SMU has better players as a whole and a better coaching staff....they are extremely mediocre by CUSA standards this year but still 2-3 TDs better than TU. Probably a close game for a little while if Griffin plays.
