. Cowen and Dickson catered to the NIMBYs...but they aren't in charge.
That "interim zoning" nonsense was all Susan Guidry; she had no real support on that (some temporary courtesy votes); but basically all of the African American council members accurately identified it as nonsense from the start.
High School teams are playing there; the Saints are practicing on a Sunday night.
Fitts and Dannen can give the NIMBYs some superficial courtesy. But that's it. I don't think Fitts and Dannen give a flip about the NIMBYS. And rightly so.

1. Home games- our team is going to start staying at a hotel the night before our home games.
2. Fritz said Hunter Knighton, a graduate transfer offensive lineman from Miami, has a sprained right knee and will be out two to three weeks, Knighton, the backup to Junior Diaz at center, had a brace on the knee Monday... please please please please stay healthy Mr. Diaz. The O-line play was just not the same after you went down.

Tulane had a good deal and used to stay at the Doubletree Hotel in the past but that was when we played our home games at the Dome. I don't know if we stayed in a hotel the first year at Yulman. I need to check that out.GreenPuddleSplash wrote:A couple of things to note:golfnut69 wrote:The latest

OL depth chart looks like:
LT Leglue
LG Brown
C Diaz, Knighton, Briggs
RG Briggs, Dublin
RT McLeod, T. Johnson
Not mentioned in the article are Brian Webb, Devon Johnson, John Washington (listed as OL on school website), Cameron Jackel, or Joey Claybrook.

Interesting:
Although Fritz did not release the results following Monday morning’s practice at Yulman Stadium, the early beneficiaries appear to be true freshmen. Linebackers Monty Montgomery and KJ Vault received some reps with the first-team defense, and Chase Kuerschen played safety on the second unit.
Corey Dublin, a freshman offensive lineman from Jesuit, also is pushing for playing time, as are freshman cornerbacks Jaylon Monroe and Willie Langham. Their emergence has allowed the coaches to experiment with sophomore P.J. Hall at safety, giving him experience at three positions after practicing at cornerback and nickelback in the past.

Very interesting that so many true freshman are pushing their way into playing time roles and into the 2 deep depth charts. This class that was panned by the ranking services (and many here) may turn out to be one that's long on addressing needs, if short on adding ratings services stars and high grades.

But, if you trust Fritz as an evaluator, then as long as freshmen keep pushing for playing time, that means each recruiting class is better than the last one.NOLABigSteve wrote:Forever a "young" team...DfromCT wrote:Very interesting that so many true freshman are pushing their way into playing time roles and into the 2 deep depth charts.

I hear you, Steve. I'm a big proponent of looking at the two deep depth chart and seeing how many upperclassmen are on it to predict how a season will go. See my posts from last summer when I was panned for saying we would only win 4 games. Yes, we COULD have won more, but factors such as inexperience, inexperience in a brand new system, and players recruited for an entirely different offense held us back.NOLABigSteve wrote:Forever a "young" team...DfromCT wrote:Very interesting that so many true freshman are pushing their way into playing time roles and into the 2 deep depth charts.

How often did we hear Fritz say "We need more football players that can compete at the D1 level"? We have found a few more. We'll be young, and it may be that we're improved but with no better record this year than last. But we're building. It is going to take a couple of upsets, but I don't think 6 wins is out of the question, as I did a year ago (despite a much tougher schedule in 2017.)

There is a difference between being inexperienced because you HAVE to start Freshman (due to recruiting gaps/failures, academics, attrition, etc) and inexperience because Freshman are beating more older guys out in position battles. I'm fine with the latter. There have been a lot of players at Tulane with low-rankings as recruits that came in and bullied their way up the depth chart, and several of those guys went on to play in the NFL.DfromCT wrote:I hear you, Steve.

I think our division is damn tough this year, and if we were in the East I'd comfortably predict a bowl game. Right now I'm going to say we win 5 and look competitive doing it.

I love Coach Fritz' attitude about acclimating to the heat & humidity as essentially a mindset. An IPF would be an asset for recruiting, but a hindrance for taking advantage of the hellish conditions of South Louisiana in September.winwave wrote:Issues:
