I agree to a certain extent, but it’s not like 2017 UAB didn’t lose to programs like Ball State, Ohio, and Charlotte. 2018 UAB has already lost to Coastal Carolina, and it’s unlikely that they won’t see a few more losses.

There are two short term goals for Tulane:
1. Reaching a bowl and
2. Fielding a good football team
Defeating an overrated Memphis team was a step in the right direction for a bowl, but Tulane’s losses to a Wake Forest team that just fired its DC in season and to a UAB team that didn’t play football two seasons ago indicate that it’s still not good.
What was that?

I've never been so glad to be so wrong about a game. It looked like a different Tulane team, from the one that showed up in Birmingham. We controlled both lines of scrimmage, and won. McMillan can make our offense click.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana
zombie that can't be. Some genius here said Wake was going to win the ACC.

Right. UAB is not a good football team. At best they are average.Aberzombie1892 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 11:00 amI agree to a certain extent, but it’s not like 2017 UAB didn’t lose to programs like Ball State, Ohio, and Charlotte. 2018 UAB has already lost to Coastal Carolina, and it’s unlikely that they won’t see a few more losses.

Great game!! It was a surreal experience in an awesome way to watch Tulane put the beat down on Memphis like that. I will definitely give Coach Fritz and his staff props on having the team ready to play. Obviously we need to keep the momentum going. Going forward I’ll be watching whether or not Tulane plays consistently well or if there is inconsistent play with a lot of ups and downs.

Not denying that. But everyone's talking like they're Xavier of New Orleans deciding to play football and being in their second year. No comparison.winwave wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 11:41 amRight.

I don't think anyone is talking like that about them. I think people have looked at their schedule last year and took that into account.
