If they want to act money is the issue, which it isn't, they should just go on the road and save the home guarantees. Of course, last year's schedule was nicely dumbed-down. It's a tired tactic with a 0% success rate and a near 100% "makes things worse" rate. The problem with basketball a...

I think it was about this time last year that Drake Maye was for sure headed to Alabama. Maybe he'll go and maybe he won't. I sure hope not and selfishly if he does leave I hope it ain't to friggin LSU. But this is the world we live in now. If you want to blame anybody, blame the schools and NCAA wh...

Not really spring practice but definitely Sumrall related. Espn released a list of 30 coaches who will define the next decade of college football. Sumrall checks in at 15

To Gretna's point, the retention does feel penny wise and pound foolish for the mid to long term. It reminds me of turning down the Humanitarian Bowl in 97 because we'd lose money on the game, not factoring in all the unseen benefits. It also reminds me of SMU twisting themselves in pretzels financi...

I wonder why he doesn’t explain himself here?? Will he still have any allegiance to the Wave? Kelly will continue to support Tulane athletics as an alum. And I know if Sumrall called him tonight for some advice, Kelly would be on the phone with him asap. There's also a world in which leaving on rea...

I will hold my donations until I see something, anything. What have we done since the Cotton Bowl? The locker room. Field turf. That’s it. Probably cost us another New Year’s Day bowl appearance. Please tell we have done more than that the past 15 and half months. I'm not going to tell you what to ...

OT is a desert in the portal. You take what you can get at the position and make the best of it. I'm very happy we could add fbs starting experience of any caliber there

This one really stings because TU23 was a member of this community and the broader Tulane community whose passion was second to none. I hate to lose him as he did some excellent things for our NIL operation that put us ahead of many competing schools. That said, I do want to spin this slightly diffe...

Today I saw a headline with a brief synopsis of an article about millennials regretting their decision to go to college and more are opting to go into blue collar careers. I wonder if we will see more small, private schools having trouble staying open. (I don’t know, but guessing that these are mor...

I feel bad for the students, particularly the seniors who may have to re-take some junior level classes when they transfer (hopefully some regional schools will make exceptions for hours on campus like people did for students wanting to transfer out of Tulane post--K???) but I truly feel bad for th...

I hate it. Partially because we aren't in the permanent top division but smu by dint of getting an acc invite is. Also the Vanderbilts and Rutgers of the world get a free pass that isn't performance based at all while tulane Memphis and Boise have to scrap every year just to stay relevant. It ought ...

Meanwhile, smu was able to hire away usc's coach who is now on record as saying he wouldn't have made the move without them being in the acc. It really stings they got an invite and we didn't. Also that they beat us in the title game last year, preventing us from another high profile ny6. I hope th...

At least Bobby Knight was often funny. I haven't watched the evening national news in years but tonight we had big storms here so I had the TV on, and when they cleared, it went straight to the news in progress. They were doing a big story on how apparently people are calling LSU out for being in t...

We are also going to be faced with having an actual payroll for players very soon, if we want to be in the top level of football and basketball. I expect coaching salaries and buyouts to plateau or even come down some in the face of a whole bunch of new payroll expenses. Maybe it is smarter to keep ...

What lesson was that roller? Whatever might have been the case in the early 2000s, the landscape is radically different today.

And arkansas swept lsu over the weekend, so their baseball team is in a big slump with no womens title on the horizon this year. You hate to see it.

we just made a regional everything is fine I really doubt we will see a change. The team will likely win more games than last year so we can sell improvement and being on the right track. bringing Uhlman back after a season that shows improvement over last year will not be nearly as destructive as ...

Given the Clemson lawsuit, I expect there will be multiple ACC openings up for grabs. The first question is whether the ACC even survives. Once the GOR is breached, I think any useful parts will be siphoned off, first by the SEC/B10 (btw, I bet FSU ends up in the B10, not the SEC), and then I bet th...

There’s still plenty of ball to be played Can we say any chance of an At-Large is dead already? Yes an at-large was dead before this last series. With 31 games remaining, we would have needed to win 27-28 of them to get into at-large RPI range. Having lost all 3, we basically would need to win out....

ALERT!!!

SARCASM!

I really doubt we will see a change. The team will likely win more games than last year so we can sell improvement and being on the right track.

Huh?? You talking about the field dimensions? Or just that it was built? If the latter, that is no less absurd that tjtla's claim that hoops can't win because of Fogleman/Devlin. If you're suggesting building Turchin was a wasted investment, come on. It was built at a time when the program had fled...

Not surprisingly we will be looking for another may miracle to make the postseason.

Tulane has made a lot of sports mistakes over the years. I wonder if building turchin is quietly one of the worst in the modern era.

I was telling someone the other day that even though I didn’t do a bracket again this year (it’s been a few years) I have watched more games than I had in a long time. There have been some pretty good games too. I would think the legal gambling is the reason. More people that normally don’t watch o...

It was a nice series win to get a historical monkey off our back, and on the road no less. Would've been nice to finish the sweep, but you take road series wins when you can get them. Considering we only won 19 games all year in 2023, to already have 15 in the bag is certainly showing improvement. I...
