Isn't it wild that 24 months ago there was basically no way a successful Tulane coach would leave to go to Houston and now that some suits at Fox and ESPN have slapped a B12 on the side of Houston's helmet all of a sudden they could poach our guy. As much as I love this sport, man it's broken in so...

Tbob and Hester (not most trustworthy sources):

No way Fritz goes to Duke. Word on the street is Houston is really serious about Fritz. I don’t know if Willie would go there, he’s got a MUCH better team now than Houston, but Houston has deep pockets.

No one would say this!!! No, there are a whole lot of empty suit execs who think they are really smart cause daddy was rich and they got a business degree who say things like this all the time thinking it works to woo clients, etc, because its the type of thing they fall for themselves. See Elon.

So I put very little stock in FPI. And I fully realize it isn’t factoring an injured QB. I also understand the aims of people who set betting odds are very different from FPI’s. But can any of you analytics people explain how a team can be at 27% to win on FPI and yet a 5-6 point favorite? That’s a...

Harris said he anticipated the WF question. If that is right, he should have been ready to say: "I see Coach Fritz out there today, and I want to tell him something in front of all of you. We know you are a great coach and a great credit to Tulane University and to Tulane Football. What you ha...

That’s definitely the right question to ask!

As much as I despise Ed and his motives in asking it’s absolutely the right first question. Wish we would have called on someone else first to ask it though. Lol

CT Wave wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 3:35 pm So far, his comments sound like remarks one would make as part of the interview process. Very general and high level, lacking in specifics.

That’s the way he SHOULD sound here but NOT in an interview. Also hope he sounds more specific in a Q/A as tyats where the meat of these things tend to be

Summary for those of us with no espn+?

And deleted the best thread on it last night!

Update on injury:

Fair point, all coaches say that. I hope we can retain him. If it's money, David H just needs to ask some of us. I definitely agree that if he was desperate to get out, he'd of been gone pecan last year or already this year. I don't think he was "lying" either. I think he's happy retiring...

he did not say "happy here and look forward to retiring here" like before. Nobody with a brain took that super seriously the first time. He may stay. I think it's more likely now than it was a month ago based on how a variety of things shake out. But he made it clear last year he was happ...

I wasn't complaining, just noticing (though I will say if it had gone up any more than that I'd probably choose to watch on TV).

With regards to Jackson, he had that scary moment at the Rice game but then he had two catches the next week versus ECU. This will mark a full 4 weeks of him being out. I think he pretty clearly hurt his ankle or leg on the last of those catches against ECU. Watch the replay. He pulls up, sretches ...

Pretty confident we paid 20 last year. I know for a fact it was 30 this year.

Root got Houston to offer Traylor first

sorry, I didn’t mean to bug you again. I was asking Soph. he seemed to understand the nuances of claiming and getting the tickets. I remember it took me like half an hour to figure out that cotton bowl app last year. You weren’t bugging, wasn’t annoyed at all, just didn’t want to keep doubling down...

So I bought my same season tickets for the championship game. But should I have received the email link to those tickets already? Or does that come later? My wife says she got hers intstantly (right after the game Friday, in the car) The actual tickets? I would think they will be sent out after Mon...

Yeah they've done a remarkable job of rotating the g5 each year, almost as if there's a pecking order that's rotated. Regardless of what's written on league websites it seems pretty apparent the g5 is being moved around among the 3 ny6 possibilities, which indicates to me the bowls themselves have ...

And Finally: The CFP Selection Committee ranks the top 25 teams and selects the four teams to participate in the semifinal games (Fiesta and Peach). Then, after the contract bowls (Sugar, Rose and Orange) are filled based on conference agreements, the Committee will assign teams to fill the remaini...

The aac title is a play in for the ny6. Either we win and take it or smu wins and jumps liberty on the strength of a ranked win. Liberty is screwed

Whoa nellie. Let's see if the CFP matches the AP before we make that kind of prediction lol
