He upset some southern miss fans upset. Big deal.

The comments on that board is that Tulane was a drag on C=USA. I can understand that. but also have to point out how Tulane won the first ever CUSA football game, and in 1998 were the highest ranked team any CUSA team ever achieved. I'm so glad we're out of that league, which has become a cesspool.

We spent 1 year in the New C-USA and made a bowl; we had equal or better teams in 2014, 16 and 17, but simply played much more difficult schedules.
2015 was probably as good as 2013 too, but they just gave up and packed it in.

How.long would you have held up with that clown show? How many games of the offense hanging 100+ snaps on the defense?

As we all know, the AAC is much stronger and tougher than C-USA. And it's practically in a different division from the Sunbelt. Now for this to mean anything, Tulane needs to start winning in the AAC, and winning games against these lesser G5 conference schools. UAB is a big game, and one we need to make a statement on. It's far from a gimme, especially since it's a road game.

Being in a stronger conference is nice, but we need to make noise in the AAC.

TD or anyone else associated with Tulane, need not make any disparaging remarks regarding any school or conference, because some cannot handle the truth, including those at Tulane !!

The usm fans are very bitter that we improved our lot and they are stuck in cusa. It is not on field performance that held usm back. They are just broke.

And they're located in the middle of nowhere TV-wise. They just bring nothing to the table for moving to a better conference.

Some of the people on their board trash New Orleans. Like Hatttiesburg is someplace special? I would bet most that comment on New Orleans have never set foot uptown, or on campus.

I was looking at a UAB board yesterday and what I read was indicative of actually a pretty fair minded group. They have us as one of their more more difficult matchups realizing we are on the way up and return a lot of offensive weapons. Not that they were stroking our egos excessively but it was one of the few times I’ve seen a little respect payed to us on an opponents board. UAB has a challenging schedule. . . for a Conference USA team.
