I don't want to further a thread derailment but you're talking about an administration that thinks summer workouts for the football team are too expensive, that an indoor practice facility is a luxury, who prefers busing a team to a game even if it takes forever, who would rather not put the team up in a hotel the night before a game in order to save $5k or so. Your confidence in the leadership who have decided in their proven wisdom and saavy that "the dome is dead as... a college facility" is completely without merit.gbgreenie wrote:I wish Ripple would quit thinking the dome will be huge if Tulane wins. The decision is made the dome is dead as far as being a college facility. All over the country it has been proven over and over that an on campus stadium can't be beat for college football. Tulane could fit a 40,000 seat stadium on campus if it got creative. If not on campus the River Batture behind the zoo would be a great location for the city and Tulane University.
How about to begin with they figure out how to not be amongst the absolute bottom of the barrel football program in all of FBS year in and year out then we can go from there? The present administration inherited a phenomenal 12-0 team twelve years ago. They tanked it five minutes into the first game of the following season and have done nothing but step on their d!cks since.* So pardon me if all the talk about their vision and a new beginning on the "River Batture" makes me laugh/sick. I've been watching this crap too long and am not stupid. Put down the kool aid.
*added on edit: Cowen actually tanked it when he told Rodriguez to take a walk and hired Scelfo, long before the stupidity of that decision became apparent on 9/6/99 in Hattiesburg.
