whoa, whoa, whoa, im not satisifed on the kid question yet. Has no one developed a comprehensive ranking of Fritz's favorite kids from most to least so we can parse which jobs he's more likely to take? And if he stays, does that make Wes his favorite? :lol: :lol: Good thing Auburn isn't hiring too ...

I don't think the daughters are that significant in the decision here, but one in Houston, one in Auburn...You know, I can think of one school that's almost exactly in the middle of those two places! This is a fair point though. He's almost equidistant between them now. Move to one and you're farth...

Seems like in my day - the 87 indy bowl- there were kegs involved….. In your day (and even mine), every student was legal drinking age. Now the liability of serving minors and/or the hassle of carding, seems to have killed that tradition. 'Tis a shame. It was so sad when I went back for homecoming ...

I don't know Willie personally, but he is from the Midwest, he's from an older generation where he worked his way up the hard way, he's spoken about how he did all the dirty work at those small schools... He's as much or more of a "common man" than most here and probably most current colle...

If you want to know why Hughes has not fumbled, look at his ball security during his 58 yard run. It certainly doesn’t speed him up but it would take three firemen using the Jaws of Life to pry the ball from him. I noticed that as well. He's been taught very well that anyone who catches you from be...

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 more...

Not sure what you mean. Seatgeek has hundreds of tickets and those are "public". Presumably you mean "direct from Tulane"?

Uh oh, y'all in trouble when Soph sees this and gets out his lock. He already locked one Fritz thread this morning and pointed people to the carousel thread.

Ever since 1993, every time I hear Delaware, I picture Wayne and Garth in front of the green screen. "Look... We're in... Delaware."

Assume this is a pun. Ole Miss couldn't have pre-bought conference championship tix. Why not? If they bought season tickets back in August, they're still on the list with the ability to buy CCG tickets. Then, they can turn around and resell them for a profit and recoup some of their cost for the se...

If Houston steals Fritz, Tulane should call Mr. Patterson.

Oh really? We hadn't noticed.

I’ll take the conference sack leader at UTSA for Defensive POY. Agreed, and I'll point out that our "terrible" OL allowed 0 sacks to that guy on Friday. They did, but he was definitely disrputive, and had several pressures (whether recorded or not). I'm pretty sure he was the guy that for...

Excited for the inevitable EDitorial to be released shortly that one-sided debates all of the advantages Coog High has over Tulane and blames Tulane for them. I think you really mean the article squarely blaming his name being involved at Houston being because of the AD choice and having nothing to...

There's no way Pratt gets offensive POY. His stats are far behind several other QBs. They don't give OPOY awards to guys who simply "show grit". If they did, then he'd win.

What will be interesting is if (when?) Stone gets OPOY, he does a video thank you from a hospital bed.

And by "the Tulane boards", you mean gotula? The uber-negative "Tulane Alliance" Facebook group?

I was told Lainie is a teacher elsewhere. But regardless, one is enough. Everyone thinks Fritz would only leave for Kansas or KSU because of "family"... welp, even one daughter in Houston is family reasons.

Let's hope Houston is looking for a different splash.

Not true.

??????? So how can ESPN have Shmew with a 71% chance to win when Shmew isn't even ranked?.... 'Plain that to me...... I will try. Rankings are based on resume, especially win loss. They have 2. We have 1. The 71% you cite is based on espn's fpi metric which is intended to be predictive and forward ...

Q: Do you think our players will feel intimidated? I've seen games over many years where a team was just as good as the opponent, but you could tell that the opponent's alleged cachet got inside the heads of the team. SMU is not Bama. Plus it’s SMU that got decimated in Yulman last year not Tulane ...

While I don't ever expect anything super positive for any G5 from pollsters, I could see us taking a HUGE leap this week, if indeed the concept of "keeping certain teams ranked to buoy the top contenders' resumes" was real. There are a lot of 3-and 4-loss teams ahead of us that no longer n...

The caution I have about their starting a backup is this: We have a guy on our roster who was once the backup and who made his first start in a hostile environment on the road as a redshirt freshman. That guy is Michael Pratt. Now, I'm not saying SMU's guy is on the same level as Pratt, but I am co...

CFN is *not* a source from which to glean anything.

Very possible we play them in the Peach.

ESPN is showing Tulane -3 as of this morning. People believing Lashlee (that Stone might be okay)? Or casual bettors that didn't even know about the injury? I suspect this is a Fritzian move and we won't hear another word about Stone's health. Or else we'll get fed the "he may play" line ...

But again, in garbage time against backups... And a different DC, to boot.
