[quote]the single dumbest playcall thus far in the post season[/quote] I fail to see how a playcall that resulted in a Wisconsin player being wide arse open in the endzone a dumb playcall. It's up to the players to execute, and TCU's all-american was up to the challenge to stop it. While TCU was...

To my knowledge the old stadium was condemned the same time the Superdome was opened. I don't think it was demanded that the building be demolished...in fact I think it stood in place for a good 5 years before it finally came down for good....

Dickson claims nearly half the money for it is raised already if you go up and ask him about it. Just a matter of time. Put a winning product on the field and people will show up. The school as a whole has maybe close to 100k living alumni, and I'd venture to guess only about 25k that actually ...

Auburn's problem is that their offense spends the majority of the game lined up looking to the sideline for new plays to be called. In a two minute drill, you don't have time for that crap. Let the quarterback snap it quickly and just run playground football. It would have been more effective for...

With 2:00 left and the Colts with only one timeout, a successful conversion wins the game for all practical purposes. A 4th and 2 conversion would be successful 60% of the time. Historically, in a situation with 2:00 left and needing a TD to either win or tie, teams get the TD 53% of the time from t...

re: Tulane Board reaction to end of seris

Posted by niner81 on 9/17/09 at 11:36 am

Tulane does not need LSU to meet attendance requirements nor does it need LSU to fully sustain the athletic department. ThreePutt seems to be the only one that understands this. I am a Tulane fan/alum and have never heard any other fans state anything regarding attendance as a justification of ...

None of our home games are ever on CST -- I believe this is due to CUSA's deal with CBS College Sports. As for the time of game, all weekday games this year start at 6 PM, regardless of opponent....

Posted by niner81 on 2/13/09 at 6:58 pm

The argument that this game somehow makes or breaks the Tulane athletic department or football team is laughable. 600k is probably on the high end of a rent-a-win status team, but I'm sure Tulane could get that from others if they desired. That figure is likely 3% or less the athletic budget fo...
