Re: Going to be a long spring and summer for AD Harris

I understand David Harris's position on Hunter. He has already had to hire a football coach under a stressful timeline. Now he has to decide what direction he wants to go with women's basketball because there is no coach. Hunter still has 2 years (I believe) on his existing contract. Why not see a f...

Re: Another NFL woke rule

Today, they announced a bizarre change to kickoffs that have both sides within 5 yards of each other. It presumably keeps players from hitting at full speed. There is no explanation of how onside kicks would work. Maybe they are making that illegal too. https://twitter.com/jjones9/status/17704934199...

Re: USM Beats Tulane 9-4

The Southern Miss batters were certainly hot last night against our bullpen, no doubt. We need more early offense to take the pressure off of the pitching staff. Most games, we don't put runs on the board until/after the 5th inning. There is definitely a pattern that has developed about falling beh...

Re: Another NFL woke rule

The ironic part is that this type of tackling is a direct reaction of not being able to use helmets anymore. This will probably lead to another method of bringing down ball carriers that exposes something else to injury. SHOCK: people sometimes get hurt playing football.

Re: Another NFL woke rule

I can't believe that the NFL remains popular. It's no longer a sport; it's an exhibition with totally subjective rules that apply to players differently, depending on who they are. The fact that people wager millions on this makes it even more preposterous.

The same thing that happened to us. The private schools don't have enough scholarship flexibility to be able to recruit the best players. NIL may change that, but we'll have to wait and see.

Most successful coach in Tulane athletics history. For those with short memories, we made the WNIT 3 seasons in-a-row prior to this one and advanced in two of them. For comparison the Men's team hasn't made the NIT in 24 years. Where is the notion coming from that it is somehow easier for Tulane to...

I think Houston has surpassed Chicago as the 3rd largest metro area. With the recent news that Chicago is the only major city to actually lose residents in the past 10 years, it's probably guaranteed.
