Re: Yulman Stadium Construction

Give CJ a few years after not being able to get recruits to come once the stadium is built and the realization that it is a POSS. He may pull a Toledo and start blaming it on the stadium. It has to be built and recruits have to look and compare it before anything can be said about it. I wish everyo...

Re: Yulman Stadium Construction

It is really amazing the acting job CJ does when he talks about the stadium. If I didn't know that he really and truly thinks the new stadium is forever stamping Tulane Football as small time, and destined for D1A (as certain posters keep telling me) I'd think he's really excited about Yulman. He r...

And oh by the way, the Dome looks to be at least 80% UL-L fans, if not more. Look at your recordings, there's a serious red-out.
