8. Tulane
The Green Wave have pieces in place on offense, and the defense was better in the second half of last season. The nonconference schedule is much easier, but the conference schedule includes Cincinnati, Houston, UCF and SMU.
It is amazing how "invisible" Tulane football has become this summer; one bad 2-10 Willie Fritz season and we no longer exist. And the Wave starting this season against UMASS doesn't help. But thankfully, the 2-day "official period of mourning" and outpouring of "extreme media grief" over the "retirement" of Myles Brennan, age 23, from college football has finally passed.Dave breslin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 7:00 am It’s fun to be a prognosticator but it’s like political poles. Not worth a poop. We can win every game on our schedule or flop like last year ( which I think was a fluke but a self inflicted enema). One game at a time to prove that we are better than that crap show of last year. We need to prove those “expert” pickers that they don’t know what they are writing about
Myles Brennan for his "retirement" from LSU football received more local media coverage this week than Tulane football has to date for the entire summer. 
No one really cares, especially the university. Most wave fans know the program will be playing in a CUSA type league going forward and we just aren’t in interested. Tulane University has no interest in playing with the big boys, so why should we contribute to athletics. Just ridiculous how the school has let athletics deteriorate to the point it has. Just a bush league administration.Wave755 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 9:56 amIt is amazing how "invisible" Tulane football has become this summer; one bad 2-10 Willie Fritz season and we no longer exist.

Can’t win big with no OL or any depth at CB. Will be another long season of injuries and what could have happened.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 10:40 am An interesting SB Nation 2022 forecast, based on 240,000 Monte Carlo simulations.

Start now. Life is short and this site doesn't need more people beating up on Tulane just to be doing it.arkhou02 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 6:10 pmI will after this year.

Just what Tulane needs- running off more fans. Brilliant. You need to toughen up buttercup. This site was created so that ALL fans could express themselves. This isn't the yoggie site where all has to be well all the time at Tulane. You knock him for knocking Tulane and all you ever do here is knock Tulane fans.anEngineer wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 7:59 pmStart now.

Pay attention. This guy said he had made up his mind to leave after this year. Why wait and make yourself miserable?HoustonWave wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 9:48 am+1,000,000winwave wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:16 amJust what Tulane needs- running off more fans. Brilliant.

It's his choice. What you miss is a lot of fans feel the same way- that this is our last year in a legit D-1 conference before taking a big step down. So they want to enjoy this season knowing it's the end. After that they may not be coming back.anEngineer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:24 amPay attention.

I don't know what you're talking about Engineer--I haven't said I'm going anywhere. I have said that I will decrease or likely cease my academic donations to Tulane, which greatly exceed my athletic donations. I will continue my athletic donations, because our misery stems from Gibson Hall more so than from Wilson Center. I also have said that I may end my 45-year run of season tickets, because the CUSAAC schedule will be pathetic. But if nothing else, I'll stay on this board pointing out the painful realities of Tulane's lack of leadership and knocking some of the sugarcoating that some of you continue to sprinkle on the Gibson Hall turd.anEngineer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:24 amPay attention.

No, certainly not HoustonWave. Arkhou wanted to bash the program but said he was giving up on Tulane after this year. I wanted to know why he was waiting if he's miserable and leaving anyway.
I get his pain and frustration. I will never give up on the Wave but like him I will no longer devote the time and money that I had in the past. It’s hard to continue to live and die with a program that isn’t supported as it should be by its administration. That’s the reason we’ve lost 10’s of thousands of fans over the years and have never replaced them. 99% now grow up being Tiger fans. Back in my day it was no less than 50/50.anEngineer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:25 pmNo, certainly not HoustonWave.

Exactly the way I feel about football going forward. I will continue to follow both basketball and baseball as long as we have a seat at the table. The seat is being removed for football. I will no longer give any money to Tulane University or football. I will contribute some NIL money for basketball and baseball, but it won’t be much.Show Me wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 8:16 pmI get his pain and frustration.

The new CUSAAC is awful and I doubt I’ll even watch those teams on ESPN+. I never imagined as a lifetime Wave fan we’d get this low.
