re: Tulane just wants to play

It's gonna be like the Olive and Sky Blue Tulane Titanic hitting a big Purple and Gold iceberg. They wont realize the damage at first, but soon that ship will start sinking and quickly after will be resting on the bottom. (As in Tulane dropping football or going Div.2 or 3)

That was on the verge of happening in 2004 before we rescued them with this current contract. And that was after only 10 years of not playing us every year and not playing us at their place at all (although we did play them twice in Tiger Stadium during that 10 years). Their board actually had a vote on whether to drop football or drop to Division 2 or 3. The vote failed (even before we signed the deal with them), but the fact that it even came to that showed that they were in serious trouble.

Simple fact, they can't survive without us and we don't need them at all. They should be grateful if we are willing to play them at all, under any conditions. Doing so only hurts us and helps them. If they can't appreciate the sacrifice we make just to play them, they can find another source of revenue and respect.
