Ye Olde Green Wave Forum

Your anger is warranted. These decision to keep him is the fiscally responsible one unfortunately. We aren't a medium or big time program that will lose a lot of money in donors or attendance if he gets another year. That is the reality of Tulane basketball. Where I disagree with this comment, Pose...

As we all know, players can pull their names out of the draft before a certain date, but the 2024-25 Green Wave MBB just took a massive hit if Sion does go pro. Holloway would have been the best player on the team, the focal point of the offense, and he chose to go elsewhere. Doesn't that tell you ...

As bad as this is this is wildly more workable than most imagined versions of the super league. They are getting right: 1) The number, which doesn't totally block the Tulane's of the world 2) the need for relegation What they are missing is how equitable that relegation should be. Having the ten G5...

How I see it: Football made a massive investment, salary wise, in getting a new Blue Chip Coach in Jon Sumrall. We find out later that Coach Fritz, with his deserved leverage from the Cotton Bowl, didn’t have a big buyout that resulted in a surplus of money coming into the Department to offset anyt...

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this, but I passed Nicholls campus and got to see their new “indoor” practice facility. It’s basically a tall warehouse with walls on the upper half of each side with the bottom being open all around. I found this pic online: https://i.postimg.cc/4NYbsnqv/IMG...

This is appears to be on Dannen for extending him. It's quiuite possible that we would owe RH a few million if he is fired. That may drop seriously after next year at which point we can invest even more in a different coach.

I think the “takes a while to learn” stuff is just an excuse. If a defense is so complicated that it takes years for a player to be able to play it then it is a garbage strategy. I think Hunter just uses that as an excuse to keep his preferred 7 man rotation and make it seem like this defense is so...

Bottom line is talent wins. Not in Hunter's system. It literally limits the abiity to win. I said elsewhere, we could bring in three 5-star guys for next year and the results would be the same, if not worse, than this year. They would not learn the defense fast enough or well enough to play it effe...

I'm tired of hearing that our facilities are poor. That's false. Do we have an arena with a large capacity and fancy amenities? No, but that doesn't mean we have poor facilities. I'm certain our players have everything they need and probably some of what they desire. Additionally, our practice faci...

maybe our new AD looked at the situation and said that if the best bad job coach can't win here, there's also something wrong with here? We can only hope. What are the buyout numbers? Does anyone know? Didn't TD extend Hunter at some point? I thought he got one before the season started. Maybe he k...

Who do they have as the 4 seed in this way too early projection? I want to know where we're going for the second round. Probably 11-1 Oklahoma, who we'd have already beaten but yet would still be ranked behind... :wink: I wonder who they pick to win the 2036 presidential election. Oh, you think we'...

What do we really have to lose at this point?

The best part about hiring Wade would be sticking it to LSU. We could pay him more than McNeese and would have a better NIL budget for his strong ass offers.

I think it's a good bet that the Memphis and USF games could be on Black Friday and another Friday during the season. It's quite possible we only have 4 Saturday home games this year.

I think there is definitely value here. We shouldn't take this as a "view" of our program. The bad thing is this will be used to justify why we and our G5 opponents aren't as good as xyz P5 teams because of the highly subjective "2. Recent recruiting. This piece informs us of the cali...

Roof over the stadium or stands part. I'm not kidding. Our stadium it the size of a lot of MLS stadiums and almost all of them have roofing over the stands. TV is going to have us playing mostly day games in September and October so it makes sense. Or at lest over the sidelines. Continue with boxes ...

Honest question: is the current roster, based on recruiting rankings, the overall highest-average talent we've ever had on a single roster ever? Obviously we'd say "in the modern era" but even back 90 years ago when we were top 5 and putting lots of guys in the pros, there were less teams...

The P2 situation I envisioned when being super cynical would be where ESPN and Fox drop their cable/satellite services entirely, and drop every other league entirely. This would even include ABC moving their Saturday games to app-only. As said above, tired of negotiations with Directv, YouTubeTV, e...

. There could still be enough viewers that some major bowls could survive, especially if the new league is playoff driven. WIthin a couple of years it would be akin to the XFL. The parity will be nice for the 5 of you still showing up to games. :angel: I think you underestimate the number of fans t...

Sorry, but it’s more likely we had Top Ten starters and Top Forty backups. Compliment to the team and coaches that we had a real shot at NY 6 Bowl until 4th Q of SMU game. A lot more about player health than coaching scheme. Everyone was well for 2023 CB and that’s why we won. Sure, but that is not...

It will be interesting to hear what is said publicly about Pratt regarding injuries come the combine, when he gets a real, full physical exam. Obviously it's private, but stuff always leaks and it would kinda make me feel a little better about our (under)performance if we find out that he actually ...

If Pratt does well in the NFL is will both make me happy and frustrated. Very Happy for him. Very frustrated that we had such a crappy passing game in 2023 with a veteran line and good receiving core. We should have been able to PASS all over people. Instead we struggled to score half the time while...
