We are picked last, yay.

And we just gave this coach a contract extension. But this is where I expected. We have three guys on the roster that are quality Divsion 1 players and they are all guards....Hook, Starks, and Pinckney

Not surprised. We were picked tied for last with UCONN in football as well by AAC coaches.
We are a newcomer and have to earn the respect of these coaches. Until we beat some we won't get their votes.

UConn lost their starting QB, SMU as well and their coach quit on them. The FBall season to date is hardly something to hang your hat on. Hopefully it improves, Friday win would be nice.

Yes I know. Until we prove otherwise we will always be picked at or near the bottom.

The pre-season football poll was by the AAC sportswriters.

I could see Tulane finishing as high as 7th, as the bottom of the conference is horrible. That being said, we could also live up to our ranking!

I have some hope that the solid back court will win us some games. Sadly I am not even sure if that is a good thing for the long term health of the program.

I can see it now, team finishes 8th and then some absurd RD quote about how this team over-achieved and exceeded expectations. Finishing with a statement that the program is on the right track and the foundation is strong......then comes the next extension.
