Ok I’m going to bed on that. That’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen on a football field since we punted on 3rd down. Goodnight.

Tommy Bowden had the good judgment of hiring "The Emory Bellard" of the of the zone read from division III Grand Valley State. The 1997 & 1998 seasons were an anomaly where the pieces were in place to shock opponents with a brand new scheme. We weren't particularly talented in 1998. Where's the next Rich Rod? Or, where's the next recruiting wizard?tpstulane wrote:The no huddle just wore defenses out.greenphantom wrote:The OL under Bowden was way more talented than the one we have now.

That play is pretty much the epitome of this team and season.HoustonWave wrote:Nice tackle by #57. Tulane athleticism on display again.

That’s BS! There’s no indication that’s the case with The Board, Fitts or Dannen. More money is being pumped into Football than ever. We have Junior College players. Academics aren’t holding us back. Lots of damage was done by the Cow/Dick years. Our Coach runs a system that has set offensive football back 50 years. He doesn’t have a recruiter on his staff. Long way to go, but I can’t blame Fitts or Dannen yet. Next year Fritz has to be on the hot seat to show results.
Fritz certainly will not be fired in the offseason no matter how the rest of the season plays out, but, if it will take time for him to show results, how much time should he have if he does not reach 6 wins this year? He can't have forever and CJ only had 4 years which included a bowl season in year 2.Wavetime wrote:JerseyWave wrote:Jaxwave wrote:All good points.

We just don't have the athletes, period. You can point to many different things,,,,we don't have the athletes,,,,yet! I do think WF will succeed, but with so many years of losing it will take time.
+1, the game reminded me of a Toledo era game against Tulsa, we were "out athleted" at almost every position tonight made plain by our complete inability to make tackles even with on some downs 7 players having a shot.Wavetime wrote:JerseyWave wrote:Jaxwave wrote:All good points.
