Tulane vs Ohio State

[ml wave]

Ok, I’ll say it. Have his supporters broken out the Witch Hunt memes yet?

Not a meme, but you can just check up higher in this very thread...

[windywave]

we didn't fare too well against a third ranked team being coached by a newly hired replacement for a head coach who left suddenly... but we're better this year! (I hope!)

Meyer is done... his wife alone is facing Title IX charges for doing nothing.. she's on staff at Ohio State.. I wouldn't be surprised to see Meyer take the fall to prevent his wife from facing the music for her failure to act

Title IX still doesn't apply

[GretnaGrn]

Myers should get out of the game and stay out. He's scum. I play golf with a guy who was in the Utah sports dept when Myers was there. He would do anything to get anybody there. He ran a prison at Florida. He represents what is wrong with college football.
Briles and Freeze are permanently gone. The game is better without those two and the same for Mr Myers.

Human beings are so interesting.

ESPN just announced that Art Briles is moving to Italy to coach an American Football team there. That is probably the start of his rehabilitation of his career.

Ohio State has issues that go beyond Urban Myers imo. Whatever sins Myers has are just a symptom of whatever problems Ohio State has in running a program and keeping a check on things.

I believe the exact term you're looking for is "lack of institutional control." SMU is familiar with it (not that the NCAA would have the guts to do that again)....

The only thing Title IX has to do with this is that's who he reports transgressions to. Take off your anti-Title IX bias glasses a minute and you'll see this has nothing to do with being a Title IX violation issue. You are the only one making it so.

Hr said his wife is facing Title IX charges.

Y’all realize this just sets Meyer up to be lsu’s next coach to take them to the top.

also: "Ohio State's sexual misconduct policy otherwise requires all faculty members, or to report sexual misconduct, including domestic violence, when it involves staff or students. Under the policy reports must be made within five days."

14k, this article is so woke.

[PeteRasche]

They showed those morons on the local news this morning. Thankfully, they led off the segment with some Cleveland sports talk guy on air saying "maybe, just maybe, you ought to see whether he's actually innocent before you go screaming that you love him and he's being wrongly accused" (or something to that effect)... in other words, the news wasn't trying to promote or defend these idiots either.

I mean, look no further than the school OSU plays a week after us for examples of why you don't have rallies to defend a beloved coach before you find out the whole story...

Bumping since page two has the tailgate link and wondering who is already signed up. 94 people registered for the tailgate so far, but some here who claim they are going are not signed up yet...

There are a fair number of people who don't go the tailgates



Using myself as an example, I've gone to the tailgate at away games for games I want to see people at, but even more often I don't go to the tailgate because I want to fly under the radar and enjoy the game, not talk to other Tulane people. Other people have other reasons for skipping the official tailgate (money, want to do their own tailgate, have other plans in town besides just the football game, etc)

Also there are people who don't sign up and then crash it because they feel entitled since "they support the team in other ways."

Serious question. Have you actually seen/heard about people doing that?!?! That's nuts.

[TUPF]

When I go to away games I always sign up and pay for the Tulane tailgate. Usually one of the first to arrive. I love talking to other Tulanians without having to explain why I’m there, where Tulane is, whether we just partied all our undergrad years, etc. I love talking to the university folks in attendance. That way when we are in the stands I have already made acquaintances to do high fives with when we score. To me it’s all part of the experience in far flung places!

Feel free to stop by our tailgate this homecoming if you have the time and take the notion. Yours was still one of my all time fave yogwf stop-bys, years ago when we were still at the Dome.

Well, I'm offended. I sent you frigging chili mix.

You are on the short list too Pete, honest and truly.

And yes I knew you were joking :)



PS: First time Pete's ever probably been on a "short" list

We did not "register" for the tailgate, but plan to crash the party. $45 per person (so $90 for Coach Hullabaloo and I) is steep for what usually turns out to be burgers and beer. 

Whatever, I support the program in a whole lot of ways financially and also with my time which I'm not going to enumerate

True story; he wasn't even the tallest guy on his intramural basketball team in law school....

So our intramural team could have beaten our varsity?

Their intramural (within the law school league) WAS the varsity from a year or two prior.....

Thanks! Dance card is getting full, what with the alumni tent, academic tents, and the NROTC guys, my cup is full. To paraphrase Flounder...”Boy, this is (gonna be) great!”

GIve that feedback to Alum Assoc. My guess is they bump up the price to cover the "comped" folks. To be fair too, you would be astounded how much megaschools charge for prime space catering (which they require visiting schools to use for their alum tailgate events.) Including seat licensing, I bet OSU is selling many season tickets for high three or four figures and five figues for suites. Charging Tulane $8 or whatever for a beer is just chump change and "Welcome to Our Club. After all we're paying you $1.75 million to show up so what's your beef (or beer or whatever?)"


Recognizing all that perhaps better answer is to find a local alum's business to sponsor/subsidize the tailgate in exchange for signage. Pete, Isn't your law frim looking for some litigant referrals? Cheaper than a billboard. (Just kidding. )
