A show put together by the American for their media days in Newport RI (a supremely beautiful place). They talk to national media, players and coaches. During the dog days of summer this is solid content. They discuss tulane as a dark horse and patrick johnson.

At the 15:00 mark and 53:00 Tulane is picked by different national guys as the sleeper. It’s cool to see that becoming a national narrative. The ESPN guys at the end are pretty good in pumping up the league. They’ll have more live coverage tmrw. I wonder where the conference coaches will pick Tulane to finish.

If you watch the 52-54 minute segment, when the ESPN guy is speaking in the background coach Fritz is talking with some other coaches. Oh to be a fly on the wall of that conversation!

No surprise, UCF is the media pick to win the conference. They have us third in the West, but we're getting a lot of "dark horse" and "sleeper" attention.

I think this team can compete for a conference championship this year. Maybe it's just my summer optimism, but I think we have the talent on both sides of the ball to compete and possibly win the conference title. It won't be easy, there's great coaches and a lot of talent in both divisions. But if our offensive line can be mediocre D1, our defense live up to the well deserved hype it's getting, we can give every team in this conference a run for their money.

When your defensive players are talking about how improved the offensive line is, you have to take notice.

FIU is going to tell us a lot. If we clearly look better and win by 10 or more, we can probably compete for conference. If we struggle but pull it out, it will give confidence but we will probably have to work hard and get some breaks. If we struggle and lose, we're probably a 50/50 conference team.
