This is such an odd year in that under normal conditions, the AD would be looking at potential candidates while pursuing an answer from the current coach to know how deep in the search he should be getting. However, I got the impression that the interim AD and the Board are driving the proposed cha...

Scheduling this at the same time as the SEC championship is a disaster. That needs to change for the conference going forward. I know of people who are not going to this game because they also want to watch the SEC game. Also, it’s embarrassing to not have this game sold out a few days before kicko...

So are we all agreed now not to overspend unnecessarily but to overspend reasonably?

Just having some fun here. Can we agree on reasonable, whatever that actually may be?

I try to never overspend unnecessarily. Only overspend when absolutely necessary.

I am just as happy as a pig in slop that we have football game the first weekend in December and are worried about another school trying to hire away our coach! ROLL WAVE!

I may be misremembering but didn't someone or some group - maybe just athletics as an entity - buy a bunch of extra student-end tickets last year and provide them to students? Like, didn't Dannen tweet about that after, that we normally have 4000 student tickets but they'd bought like 2000-3000 mor...

One googolplex would do the job for you.

I would have recommended that he address the CWF question during his prepared remarks. It is the one pressing question in front of his athletic department.

There are zero public tickets available currently Not sure what you mean. Seatgeek has hundreds of tickets and those are "public". Presumably you mean "direct from Tulane"? Of course that's what is meant. When all the direct from Tulane tickets are sold, the game is a Sell Out. ...

My take was that he gave canned safe comments on everything. I was hoping he would show some personality and fire. No promises but put up some lofty goals. Sorry but he sounded like a politician trying not to make a mistake or antagonize or offend anyone. Pure PC. Hopeful but not impressed That's p...

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 Afte...

Coach confirmed broken fibula.

Doubt it keeps any Tulane fans away.

I hate when we don't it on 3rd and long because sometimes we allow the first down or allow enough that the opponent goes for it on 4th.

Reading the various Tulane boards, it seems like it is a forgone conclusion Fritz is leaving. I am not in that camp. I believe Tulane can take care of Fritz if they want. The only thing they cannot promise him is this P5 albatross. Does anyone think he is staying? Come on Tony, we both know the &qu...

Your comments are correct, Bay, but the Underdog Dynasty is too. Here is what it said: "That being said, it’s likely the CFP standings cannot be utilized to settle tiebreakers between 8-0 SMU and 8-0 UTSA, 7-1 Tulane and 7-1 SMU, or 7-1 SMU and 7-1 UTSA. So what happens if neither team is ranke...

If you read the Underdog Dynasty assessment, don't be confused by various typos. For example, here's a good one: "Scenario 3: Tulane (11-1, 8-0 AAC) defeats UTSA (8-4, 7-1 AAC) Navy defeats SMU (9-3, 7-1 AAC) Tulane is essentially in “win-and-host” mode, barring an unlikely scenario where Tulan...

Fully agree with your 1.5X to get the job done. My starting point was your quote from Moscona about paying a 10X payout and not blinking an eye. Let's just take it as Texas exaggeration.

You can find a "source" who will tell you most anything. Sure, and it's not proof positive, but paying Jimbo $75MM not to coach is a decent indicator of the accuracy of that claim. We can agree to disagree on that one. Paying $75M is not the same as paying $750M. That factor of 10 is sign...

So how do you folks compare the "list" of leaked names we now have to a 2023 version of Troy Dannen? Do you think the possibilities which have been leaked are better/worse than whom we hired last go around?

In the tradition of great Tulane running backs!

Pete, "penultimate episode of the regular season" is the next to last full weekend of games. So I expect waverider will have another one next week for the last week. And he noted he will do an abbreviated one for bowl games. Not real sure what the confusion is all about in this chain. Don'...

Yeah, but what about next week? Or the week thereafter?

Hard pass. She is on too many NCAA committees.
