Tulane Really IS "Too Lame."

When my daughter got a full scholly to Tulane, I honestly tried to become a fan and booster of Tulane athletics.

Now, I'm fine with the thought that my daughter is now 21 and an adult, and there is no need for me to root for a school just because she goes there.

You've never seen more delusional people than these folks on Tulane message boards.

They are actually wondering, with all this talk of realignment--"if we should go to the Big 12 or ACC" etc.

Some jack leg who calls himself "JDTulane" said: "LSU will never let us back into the SEC" as if THAT is the only reason they could not join the SEC.

I finally got disgusted, threw up my hands and left the whole mess.

You folks at Tulane need to understand: College football is evolving, it's a huge game of musical chairs and the big boys are calling the shots.

If your AD ever DID call the Big 12 or ACC commissioners about admission, the only sound on the other end would be said commisioner falling out of his chair laughing.

You don't draw 4000 actual Tulane fans' butts-in-the-seats for a game. Good high school programs draw more.

At Tulane home games, the Superdome is like a morgue. I have counted ON ONE HAND the student section.

You are a bottom feeder in a crap conference, and you'll probably end up in a crappier conference when all this is said and done. You'll take what the big boys leave you because you have no choice in the matter.

Another Greenie delusion: "The big conferences want our TV market in New Orleans." Hell, they'd probably consider UNO just as much, if that is all there was to it. With Tulane's crappy football program and attendance, they would be a drag and a dead weight on any BCS conference, which is why said BCS conferences would respond with nothing but laughter to the thought of Tulane in their conference.

All this is a result of over 50 years of bad decisions. Too bad, so sad. Build your 25K seat on campus stadium and move down to 1AA. I really think that is your best option.

There are a few decent guys who post on gotula.net who are aware of the problems with their administration. Unfortunately, they are far too few,and far too late.

The majority of Tulane fans are delusional old folks who still want to put their noses in the air, not understanding that LSU will catch up to Tulane in academics a helluva lot faster than Tulane will catch up to LSU in athletics.

I tried to be a fan but now, Tulane is merely the university my daughter attends.
