As the only person on this board to correctly predict the winner of last weeks game I am willing to stake my not actually substantial grasp of football realities on my new found confidence that Tulane is Bowl bound. The big question is what Bowl will be honored to offer us an invite? After a detailed review of all I know about football supplemented by two Manhattans and a bottle of red I am now ready to reveal the answer:
Tulane (7/5) will play the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on 19DEC18 in lovely Frisco Texas in the Frisco Bowl. After checking the Frisco Bowl website I can report that tickets are available now for the game but I recommend holding off on purchasing them as I suspect there will be tickets available closer to game day.
If you feel the urge to respond please include your prediction as to Bowl/Opponent for Tulane this season (I admit that this post may be based on a false assumption).

IMO it would be similar to the basketball buy in post season CBI tournament. I wouldn’t support that.

I'm sure we'd sell out our ticket allotment.

This is an interesting matchup....
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
Dec. 29, noon (ESPN)
Bonagura: LSU vs. UCF
Also looks like the New Orleans Bowl could get a decent matchup for a change:
Appalachian State vs Louisiana Tech.

They probably wont want to do any rematches. Of course, the Frisco Bowl would give us a chance to rematch against FIU.

I honestly can't even think or talk about this until after Homecoming. This next game vs. ECU has the classic Tulane disappointment / letdown setup. And we all know what has happened in the past.

While I would take a Nola bowl opportunity to squash ULM, LA Tech or any in state team. i would love a trip to Florida and i am sure i could get about a dozen young Tulane Alums to come with me. A match up against FIU is not interesting ( despite us owing them a beat down) but if FAU turns themselves around that would be interesting. I wish there were some good tie ins in California
This. First off, its homecoming. We must have the worst homecoming record this century. Second, we played a solid game on Saturday. We raised the bar a bit. Please do not trip over it and fall on your face. I do not think we will come out at home flat, but do not get too excited and make the mental mistakes. I watched the Memphis vs ECU game this weekend. ECU defense is swiss cheese and they had a lot of luck bounce their way to still lose to Memphis by multiple scores. We need to come out and take care of business. Keep the celebrating and dumb penalties in the locker room. Play smart, loose, fly around and celebrate after the game. Know the stakes, pave your path and go get the W.NOLABigSteve wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:03 pm I honestly can't even think or talk about this until after Homecoming.

We can talk about the rest after the game. That is what Saturday nights are for.
How about the Boca Bowl vs FIU?

Then Birmingham even more so, as the travel expenses would be less. Probably hotel and meal costs are lower as well.. Also the easiest for fans to get to.

This Houston game is probably the BIGGEST game that Tulane football has faced in the past 10 years. I feel pretty confident that Memphis will take care of SMU....this Tulane team must rise to the challenge! I would trust that the coaching staff understands this and that the team won’t relax a bit thinking that they can still get a bowl by beating Navy. This game is a step to something that we have NOT had in a very long time!!

+1. Agree that it looks like Memphis will take SMU the next night. So let's take care of business.TURVS71 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:26 am This Houston game is probably the BIGGEST game that Tulane football has faced in the past 10 years.
