All you need to know about Tulane is that the reason they dropped out of the SEC in the early '60's was becaue they felt that as an Indy they could be like Notre Dame! They would not be limited in who they could play and would have more of a national appeal and would displace LSU as La.'s top school.
I'm not kidding!
you may not be kidding, but you are definitely wrong

That's not the whole reason certainly. But they felt they could do better as an Independent and what I said IS part of the reason given. But why don't you clear it up for us.

Here is a LINK from the YOGWF forum on the same subject.
All you need to know about the YOGWF is that they had a debate a few months back over who was a better football coach out of Bob Toledo and Urban Meyer. Toledo received the most votes.

The Tulane rivalry lost its luster years ago. It will never be the same as it was when I was a kid in the 70s and early 80s. Any game day is a great day in Tiger Stadium, but if you really reflect on the OOC games you have enjoyed the most in the last 10 years, how often does Tulane come to mind? The VA Tech game was awesome, the PAC-10 games were fun. I'll always remember my first game as a student against A&M in 88. The Tulane games fade into memories of Arkansas State, New Mexico State, and other boring matchups. Also, for the last few years, look at the excitment the road trips to Washington State, Blacksburg and Arizona generated on the message boards. I think LSU would make more money in the long run if they scheduled even more than one "quality" OOC a year. Big time games get the most news coverage, it helps recruiting, and it fills the stadium. It also helps with the voters at the end of the season if the title race is tight after that last week of regular play. (We would not have had the chance to play for the title in 07 if we didn't play VA Tech.)What many Tulane fans and others are missing is that a crappy match up in a crappy Superdome in no way compares to a night game and a campus packed with 150,000 fans to tail gate and watch a game with national implications. No road trip to New Orleans before January will beat a good night in Tiger Stadium.

There are 2 reasons for that. 1. They are delusional. 2. They ban anyone that has the slightest varying opinion. Just look at the Tulanian who is posting in this thread. He would be banned if he were an LSU fan posting similar stuff on the YOGWF board.

During 2007 (the LSU BCS Championship Season), the Tulane/LSU game was a 1 point difference at Half...I know their are two halfs to a game.
However, the Superdome neutralizes things just a bit. I think Alleva is scared that all the stars might just line-up in 2010 or 2011 and Tulane could steal one in the dome.
Tulane will be much improved from last season...

Yeah, I'm sure that's it...

That's even funnier than a lot of the crap that the Gumps come up with.

Seeing as how they won 2 games, it wouldn't take much to be a much improved team.

It was on the brink after just 10 years of not playing us every year, even though we did play once or twice in that time. Tulane football, if not Tulane athletics altogether, cannot survive without playing LSU.

Dropping Tulane in NO under a contract where we control the gate to bring McNeese and Northwestern to Baton Rouge is great AD work.

The only thing that might get stolen in the Superdome is some tires off of LSU fans cars in the Dome parking lot. No seriously, I am an LSU season ticket holder that lives in N O. I would much rether play the game in Tiger Stadium. The real reason that more Tiger fans didn't show up for the game in '07 is that it was a 10:30 a.m. game against boring Tulane. Put another team in the Dome for LSU to play instead of Tulane, even A&M, and see the difference in the crowd. If we have to play them it better be in B R because they really don't deserve the game being in N O.

Then why not bring in a big league team to play in New Orleans, instead of TooLame, which is not that much better than McNeese or Northwestern??

The reason Tulane left the SEC wasn't at all what you posted, it was almost the opposite. A group of professors/faculty were successful in deemphasizing athletics at Tulane. They raised the admission standards, cut funding, and left the SEC.

Nah. The superdome is a non-factor.
The toughest part about playing Tulane is getting up for the game. It is basically impossible to come out geared up to play...especially when it's played during the middle of SEC play. There are always much more important games to play before and after.
Tulane will never get LSU's best game.

I truly believe that you do think that. That's the thing about Tulane fans, they aren't just putting on a face, they really are delusional.
And, that's why you are so frequently laughed at.
There is a much better chance of LSU beating Tulane by 65+ than there is of Tulane pulling the upset.

We don't get the entire gate. We also don't get concessions and the other revenue streams from a home game. LSU loses a significant amount of money compared to a home game against one of those teams.

Why don't you start a new thread to suggest that. The thread I commented on said we were getting a very small state school to replace Tulane in BR. How getting McNeese in BR is worth breaking a contract with Tulane in the Dome where we control a large portion of the tickets is a matter opinion. It strikes me as absurd.

F*#$ toolame. Just becuse skip was soft on toolame, he scheduled those turds to play the Tigers. They should not even be allowed to look our football team in the face, directly. They don't even support their own team! They are unworthy, unsportsmanlike, ignorant people and it is not up to LSU to save New Orleans. Rather, New Orleans should elect a mayor with a brain instead of that jerk-off they have, and maybe they would be recovered by now. As long as they keep voting for that kind of leadership, 25 years from now they will still be begging for help in recovering from Katrina. What a bunch of sad sacks!!

I'd rather play McNeese in BR than Tulane in the Dome. The only thing worthwhile playing Tulane in the dome are liquor sales, but even THAT sucks when you have to play at 10:30am!
