re: Would you rather, Tulane rivalry question

Why should LSU have anything to do with Tulane. There is no upside for LSU to ever schedule the Weenies. Ever.

I wish Tulane was more competitive in football. They are arguably the worst Div.I program in the last 40 years. I dont see how them being more competitive in football would "hurt" LSU.

1998 alone disqualifies this argument

You do realize there are teams with 0 bowl wins ever, right? N doubt Tulane is bad, but they are not in the argument for worst program, probably not even for the worst 10

Exactly. No one is suggesting Tulane replace Bama or Florida, guys.

We're suggesting that instead of playing an FCS team, we play Tulane. Yes, please.

As much as I hate Toolame, I must say this is not true. The Green Weenies had very short-lived success w/ Tommy Bowden (7-4 & 11-0). They've played in bowls several times. They did beat Old Myth & MS St. occasionally when playing them every season until the late 80s.
If they were nearly as smart as they claim, they never would have left the SEC. They would've still struggled to win as much as they did as an independent. However, they could've financially set as another perennial loser, Vandy, is. They certainly would've have at least 30K at homes games for SEC games, even if that meant the opponent had the majority in the stands. Their regular scheduling of teams from the East Coast (Navy, Rutgers, etc.) as an independent led to plenty of empty seats in the Dome for decades.
