Willie Fritz Lays an Egg in Opener

[tpstulane]

Can't believe he didn't take the offensive genius Slade Nagle with him.

He wanted to. But Houston’s administration and fans drew the line.

Thank you, Trojans!

Fritz won’t last 3 years there with Houston’s sugar daddy peering over his shoulder, they recently canned their AD and are wanting to raise NIL money instead of facility improvements. Fritz improved Tulane football but the last 2 years was wanting out and now has his wish hope this was worth it

Agree. But the location is terrible.

His offense looked terrible today. No imagination at all and just a pitiful game plan.

On a somewhat related note, Kentrell Webb played ok and Keith Cooper blocked a FG.

Devean Deal played really well for TCU on Friday night and Brazzell had a good game for Tennessee. Wish those guys the best.

Location really is terrible--the campus is in a war zone.

did ya know... back in the mid 70's UH's main campus was suppose to be moved to Clear Lake, where the UH - Clear Lake extension campus is today, close to Bay Area Blvd...but the city of Houston & Harris county came up with a Tax deal if the campus was left in place.....if moved to Clear Lake, that would be one hell of a great location

I didn't know about that Golf--in the mid-70's I was in various states of consciousness at Tulane. In addition to the publicized tax breaks, I wonder what grease the UH Board of Trustees got--as most were Houston-based businessmen.

H-wave... I wuz livin in Clear Lake in mid 70's...my address was Nasa Road 1...which is now called Nasa Parkway....I was told by my cousin, who played for UH 1963 - 1966, and several people who grew up near Clear Lake, that talk of movin the campus began in the lated 60's...

Willie & player post-game interviews. This stupid video doesn't really begin until about the 1:35 minute mark.



And, next week the Coogs go to Norman, Oklahoma.

Pretty strange press conference. I see the Houston sports reporters are still a pack of lapdogs. UH may want to change their 2024 mantra from "Coogs can't beat Coogs" to "Coogs need to show up for the games".

[greenphantom]

Hopefully the LA recruits committed to Houston took notice.

[billow]

Great point about UH commits watching & rethinking!

Oklahoma is now a 29-pt. favorite over Willie's Houston "Coogs."

Houston is coming to play University of Arizona in November. I already have my tickets to root the Wildcats on. Same thing happen at Az about coaches.
Jedd promised to stay and talked about loving the school and Tucson and a week later he was on his way to take the Washington job after a five minute meeting with the players.
He was probably counting on taking the star Q.B Fifita and a star receiver but that did not fly with two athletes who did not like his bridge burning and lies. Sound familiar to Tulane fans?

100%! My son graduated from the UofA so I follow their program closely. Fisch departure from Tucson was handled with less class than Fritz leaving Tulane. Fifita and T Mac are high character kids with great loyalty to Arizona.

It would make a Tulane victory slightly sweeter in Norman if it were to follow an OU blowout of the Coogs.
