Tulane schedule is incredibly home game front end loaded. It does have an early season neutral site tournament series during MG against some meh baseball teams but other than that only two midweek road games until the end of March. Jones may have done the same thing but I never recall one like this. It reminds me of classic UT or LSU scheduling although the quality of early home OOC games is certainly relatively attractive.

I like watching the Wave so I'm happy but if Tulane is to make tourney as at large team, it will need to dominate the opposition because the selectors may discount only a "good" record with this disproportionate number of OOC home games.

Bay, you may be right about being discounted, but we need the wins first before we can worry about that. This is such a pivotal year for Jewett. It's year three which means we should expect a tournament year. Anything less and that's three straight disappointing seasons.

outlaw, you are spot on. lets make the regionals and put the noise in the rearview mirror.

I guess last time I checked the schedule, the Army Invitational was still TBD as far as who our opponents would be. I was expecting something better than Dartmouth, St Joes and Army. Dartmouth and St Joe's were pretty bad last year.
