re: More crazy talk about Tulane and Big 12

I do not have access to the plans. However, I have spoken to someone who has seen them. The tennis center would have to be gone and the Wilson Center would be folded in so to speak.

The playbook did not mention access to a BCS conference as far as I can remember. However, as I just stated, Texas came to us. I wish we would have been more aggressive years ago. There is absolutely no reason why we can't be successful. Our only downfall has been ourselves. There is no reason why we can't get our program to the level where we can play each other and it not be over by halftime. I grew up going to the games against you and it was a blast.

No one truly knows the fan base of Tulane and that is our fault. We draw in Baseball. If you back out the SEC we are top 5 in attendance. With the SEC we are in the top 18 or so. In football our last 2 competitive years we drew 38K as the high point. However, this was on a Thursday night. I don't blame the fans for not going. Hopefully all of that will change. If I had to put a figure on it I'd guess we could draw 35+ for the big games (LSU, Texas, OKC) and 28+ for Baylor etc. That being said, New Orleans is a destination city and hopefully 5 - 10K would travel.

It's exciting to be a Tulane fan for a change, it's been a long time. I truly hope it happens. I will say this again, they are spending money. Tulane never spends money,,,,,something's up.

Good Luck against Alabama,,,I think you win by 7.
