That was just disgusting.
Sure there were things we did to beat ourselves.
But we also drove 80 yards down the freaking field and that call was awful. If it’s overturned a win is a win and we are celebrating Banks. The call on the field was awful and the replay official was gutless. With what was on the line, if it’s even questionable, why give it to SMU? You risk making yourself the story even more! The only reason was to not humiliate the ref who made the initial call. People can say his elbow was down, but you can’t clearly see that either.

First off he scored. However I have a problem running the ball with nine seconds left in the game. You save the run for the last play of the game if necessary. I would’ve thrown a rollout pass with a run option on that particular play. Somehow Tulane always finds a way to lose.
I don't believe the staff or team failed today. A higher power took it from them.JerseyWave wrote:GO F yourself!

You are consistently saying the same garbage after every loss. Do you think CJ or Toledo would have this team in the same position as Fritz has? You are the new Jonathan.....JerseyWave wrote:GO F yourself!

And exactly how great was Tulane with those "better players" coming in?msdos wrote:Yes, and we would have better players coming in than we have currently committed.Dupergreenie wrote:Do you think CJ or Toledo would have this team in the same position as Fritz has? You are the new Jonathan.....
I'm by no way saying Fritz is the be all end all of Tulane coaches but he is better than CJ and Toledo. Once Fritz gets a coach who can legit recruit locally you will see some better players come in.
That's BS. Toledo could never win 4 games in a crappy C-USA and the talent level was never good on those teams. CJ won 7 games with the worst schedule in team history and was a disaster when the team went to the AAC with no signs on improvement.msdos wrote:Yes, and we would have better players coming in than we have currently committed.Dupergreenie wrote:Do you think CJ or Toledo would have this team in the same position as Fritz has?

SMU had 6 players from P5 schools and another from Air Force and a host of JC's. There was a huge talent gap and we won the game due to our coaches having the team prepared to play.

Hey refs you better hide. Baby Isla is looking for you. She's not happy with what you did her daddy.

I don’t think it was a designed run. I think Banks improvised. I am not into blaming refs for a loss, but the refs blew it. Tulane found a way to win. The refs just screwed them on that. I started watching football on a regular basis when I was ten years old. I am now 48. That was the worst call/non-call by the refs that I have ever seen. Probably the only worse call was Miami’s fifth down, but I didn’t see that.Show Me wrote:First off he scored. However I have a problem running the ball with nine seconds left in the game.

There’s a Twitter Poll I saw and it’s rare you get 100% agreement on anything. 98-0 when I last checked that he scored.Houma de Wave wrote:Interesting comments under the video. A number of non-Tulane fans agreeing with most (if not all) of us.tpstulane wrote:AAC Official Highlights

Yes we got screwed.Eaglewave wrote:There is no way anyone can call this a bad coaching call. Banks scored a TD! We should have won the game and prepared to go bowling. We ran the clock out and scored. Our poor seniors got screwed.
You’re on the road you never leave it up to the refs. You have at least 2 plays possibly 3 with 9 seconds to score. You throw once more then call for a run or pass.

And Robert, since you were only about 3 years old in 1972, the Miami 5th down game would also cost us a bowl invite. And, we formally protested the Miami game to no avail. And, after the game Miami's then coach Fran Curci would infamously say, "I would rather win a game on 5 downs then lose it on 4."Robert1969 wrote:I don’t think it was a designed run.

And, to further expand on that, we got back at Fran Curci when he was the head coach at Kentucky and beat him on a last second field goal by Vince Manalla after 2 pass interference calls with seconds remaining gave us great field position. It was a well-deserved win and a great night!Wave755 wrote:And Robert, since you were only about 3 years old in 1972, the Miami 5th down game would also cost us a bowl invite.

They BLEW the lead? Get real. This team scored 45 points against the top team in the AAC West. They're one of the top scoring offenses in the country. Having them score only two TDs in the entire second half isn't blowing anything. Did the lead change hands? Yes. And we came right back and took it back. Except the refs took it from us. Stop looking for any excuse to put down what we've done this year. Damn it! Its not like we're in the 7th year of a coaching regime with six winning seasons, 5 bowl victories and two conf titles under our belt. You'd expect a team like that might do a better job of holding a lead. But we're not that.JerseyWave wrote:This team, this coaching staff has failed over and over again to put a team away in the fourth quarter when they had the chance.

They left everything on the field all season, and didn't deserve to be screwed over like this.

I sure as hell hope so. In fact I'll guarantee it. I will be be babysitting Baby Isla at the game and she will be very happy to see us get our sweet revenge.Houma de Wave wrote:And, to further expand on that, we got back at Fran Curci when he was the head coach at Kentucky and beat him on a last second field goal by Vince Manalla after 2 pass interference calls with seconds remaining gave us great field position.
