Tulane was favored this year by 15-18 points aginst two teams this year so I see no reason why they would not be favored by a similar margin against a weaker opp



If I remember correctly, for lines for games with I-A schools vs. I-AA schools, they use the Sagarin rankings to determine the line.

Sagarin Rankings as of Dec. 13

If the game was played this year, the line would be Tulane (+3).

Jesus who were they playing? McNeese usually plays well against better competition, its weaker opponents that usually give them trouble.

well we will just have to see. Just stating the facts about point sprerads last year. Of course the two games I am talking about were early in the seaon before Tulane lost 20 starters for the season due to injury.

SMU - ULM and I think they were at least double digits over Army as well.

Either way I hope its a close game, its not often McNeese plays someone I give a shite about. ULL was a fun game to go to a couple years ago. Does Tulane play all their games in the dome or some in the city park?

tulane very rarely plays in city park. the homecoming game against army was the only one there in the past 2 seasons and toledo hated the facilities. so i doubt there'll be any games there this year. it's a much better atmosphere for the fans though, that day was probably the only day in my time in new orleans that i saw a ton of people sporting tulane football gear all over the city

not really. you can catch a street car from the front of city park that goes through downtown and st. charles. but again i'll be really surprised if there are any games there next season

no, the games in the superdome have very little tailgating

That's shitty, so students don't really go to games?

If they do what do they do before the game?

most of the students don't go to the games. not having a stadium on campus has really hurt the student support

It sucks they tore it down, from the pictures I have seen it looked pretty big. I'm pretty sure there was at least one super bowl there.

Prediction, if Tulane signs all of our 3 star commits we win easily. If not I think we pull out a close win. It would be the most embarrasing thing in my life time if we lose to Mcneese IMO. Personally I believe Andre Anderson will give them fits and ultimately be too much for them.
