Tulane should do whatever it takes to get back in the SEC. And dammit LSU and Tulane should play during rivalry week.

I think Tulane is worried more about what makes them great, academics.

Which is why Tulane de-emphasized athletics in the 1950s.

How is a high school stadium going to look for an amazing program?

Willie left because he knew that the practice bubble was a lie.

Need a lot of that yankee $$$ or Tulane will slip behind LSUNO.

If Tulane were willing to invest in their athletic programs, they could be in the ACC.

Taking four years and two coaches to build an 80 yard bubble is just a microcosm of how little they care about even the smallest things that can help a program. I know they’re limited with space, but they need someone to get creative.

Probably should have stayed in the SEC to begin with
Invite them back in so the Tigers will have an In-state rival to close the season with!

Just being honest here, but I don't understand how LSU fans rooting for us half heartedly from their couch against Ole Miss helps or hurts us. What you said is also kind of arrogant, we better be nice to LSU fans on a message board or they won't root for us. It's a ridiculous post that has nothing to do with anything. The truth of the matter is we had a bad process by a bad AD who failed to secure the top Candidate so for that we should be mad at Tulane and the AD. Being pissed off that an Alum passed on us to stay at LSU is a natural emotion and there are many tulane fans still alive who do remember the rivalry and probably still do hate LSU. Who gives a shite. Tulane botched the process, LSU outmaneuvered us to keep the guy we wanted. End of Story. Life of a Tulane fan goes on. Maybe God will smile on us one more time and let us knock off Ole Miss and go to the Sugar Bowl. Maybe we lose by 50. Either way I'll be in Oxford to find out.

On its own it doesn’t. But negative press matters. What Tulane did was invite a ton of negative talk about its program for no benefit.

It’s a reflection of the problems at Tulane. A week ago most thought that was behind you. It’s not. Tulane will return to irrelevancy.

Losing out in Baker isn’t a huge issue even if on paper it looked like a good fit. Losing out on everyone is the problem. I’m guessing Baker saw the same things the others did.

Tulane and its fans are free rolling because there’s nothing really to lose. It is in the playoffs not as a deserving team but as a checkbox.

By the rules of the playoffs designed by the Big Conferences we 100% deserve to be in the Playoffs.

TLDR: You can lead a horse to water but can’t force him to drink
Can you turn current / recent students into actual alumni supporters?

They’re just like GT - they can have temporal success, but there are no baws in the student body anymore. It’s all nerds who aren’t going to prioritize spending money on athletics when they’re wealthy

This is their ceiling

They had to know with the money LSU has been spending and momentum from the Kiffin hire that Baker would be a fight and there was a chance he was leveraging them


Baker wasn't leveraging them. And Tulane could still pivot and hire another good coach like Penn state did
