Always defer. Even when playing PlayStation I always defer.

Why would we be taking commitments (yesterday, Chase Green) if Fritz is leaving. Seems like something Fritz would never do. He’s still here until he isn’t. Got to admire that about him, he won’t quit on us. Although I hope if he took the Houston job he’ll mail it in like everyone else does. Enjoy a...

The only problem I have is when we get the ball with less than 90 seconds left in the first half and we don't aggressively try to score. Surely Nagle has a hurry-up scheme?

He does, but Willie doesn’t use it.

Riley Leonard from Duke is entering the portal. Tough news when trying to attract a coach, unless there’s one with a QB who has eligibility left that he brings along.

Very smart to open this up now. Also, if you want to add more seats or get tickets for the first time, it is open season on some great priced 2024 season tickets ($99 and $175) available - no donation required. Kansas State in Yulman should be a blast. Tulane AD should net a little more, even with ...

That wouldn’t be a bad idea if it’s only 30 or so teams. That would leave some “name” programs that won’t make the cut. NCAA Elite has a ring to it!

Thunderstorms are an issue even if rain is minimal. Ole Miss game in 2021 ended seven hours after scheduled start because of lightning delays

I fear viewers will be watching game late at night on ESPN News not ABC.

We had a home game against SMU that got delayed because of lightning.

Playing much better in the second half.

43-38 at the half. Trailed by 7 at one point and most of the half until about 2 minutes left. A 10-0 run got us a 4 pt lead before trading baskets down the stretch.

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. Why do you think that we got our game on ABC? They're not going to put the pow...

If he gets the gig full-time may be too old to be our AD in 7 years.

I didn’t think Pratt would get OPOY but wins speak volumes. I actually thought Hughes would possibly get both but predicted he would get ROY

Here is the latest on the Houston coaching search... https://footballscoop.com/news/three-candidates-rise-in-houston-search So much for Klingsman being top of the list. And at the danger of sounding like yalie, the longer this goes without them focusing on UNLV or UTSA the more I think it's leaning...

Tennessee gives UGA another ranked win to go with mizzou and Ole miss. That's the only reason they are there. They do squirrely stuff like this every year. Even the hosts of the CFP Top 25 show said as much yesterday when the rankings were revealed. They need to protect the sec slot in the playoff....

THe Dallas Morning News has great coverage of SMU (far better than the Times Pic) but its all behind a paywall, that's why this thread has been quiet. But here's one I'm posting a link to even though most of the article is paywalled because it might be of particular conversation starting interest.....

North Tx WR Ja’Mori Maclin has entered.

I'm starting to update the AAC portal tracker as the portal will open for 30 days (I think) on Monday, Dec. 4. Portal is closed to general players right now, but grad transfers can enter already and so can players whose coaches have left or been fired. Plenty of players who can't enter yet have alr...

ESPN has pretty much given up on reporting on anyone outside of the P4. The only mention of our game on CFB Live was when Pete Thamel talked about Fritz being the top choice for Houston. He did call us an “unlikely juggernaut”. Last year at this time they previewed the game. They even left us off th...

CFB Live said it is official.

Well they also still have to pay Dana. If fertiti wants to of course he can pay more, but In conjunction with Dana’s pay that’s a lot of money. You can’t say Tulane isn’t willing to step up. $4.5m is very impressive for G5 (and more than many P5) ! That’s a nice retirement if he gets that for a few...

speckled trout wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 7:45 pm Per Ed Daniels, a source told WGNO that Tulane is prepared to offer Fritz “at least what Houston payed Holgorsen” (4.5 million)

That’s great, but Houston isn’t going to just offer what they were paying Holgerson. I don’t think Tulane can afford to match what that could be.

Terry Bowden was fired the other day from UL Monroe. He might be someone’s Bob Toledo some day, if that wasn’t it at ULM.

Traylor literally told SA paper that he is using the interview process to leverage more football resources from UTSA admin. He calls it “win-win.” I have no guess as to how serious a candidate Willie is to leave. However his agent if not others will leak his name with multiple jobs in the coming da...
