ULM below an FCS school?
That FCS school is about to open a new basketball arena that's state of the art for it's size. Including premium seating.
Fact is, McNeese has spent a lot of money on it's athletic facilities. ULM, not so much.
And I'm not hating on ULM, just mad props to McNeese.

Outside of maybe football, what advantage does Tulane have?
None I can see. The Green Wave, as mentioned before, don't even own their track facility, but share a city-owned stadium with UNO and area high schools. And Tulane doesn't field a softball team, preferring bowling instead.

Practice facilities? Baseball? Basketball? Endowment? Academics?
Idk I have a special spot for USL. My dad graduated from there. I grew up in Lafayette. Its only been recently that they got money to flow into the programs. They were screwed over for years. Mis-managed also.

Honestly lets not kid ourselves, nobody gives a frick about a track facility.

Academics and endowment? Sure
Baseball? No
Basketball? Not even close
Practice facilities? Our APC is larger, nicer, and newer

Try as you might buddy, ULaLa will always be behind LSU and Tulane in just about every metric known. Whether its facilities, academics, money, resources, etc etc.
Not even really worth the discussion.

Tulane has nothing that compares to the 100,000 sq ft Athlete Performance Center
Photo Gallery
That is in addition to the 89,000 sq ft. Indoor Practice Facility
Cajundome just got a $21 million renovation
Russo Park is the nicest park outside of the Power 5 baseball stadiums, and better than most of those even
Tulane's facilities don't compete outside of the football stadium. Cajun Field is a dump.

12,000 square feet
The weight room houses:
39 Power Lift work stations

So much for your “special spot.” I smelled that as nonsense from a mile away.
If you think that Tulane has nicer facilities than what we have in Lafayette, then you’re either:
A) Straight up stubborn/dilusional/close minded
B)Trolling
Your basketball team plays in a gym. We play in a newly renovated arena.
Your baseball stadium is made of bricks with no atmosphere. Our stadium is newly renovated with a top 10 attendance ranking.
We also have a newly renovated Athletic Performance Center that runs circles around Tulane’s.
Like you said, this shouldn’t even be a discussion. But for opposing reasons than yours.

Only a goon would think that Tulane’s gym is nicer than this.

According to some people on this board, NONE of that holds a hair to the mighty facilities of Tulane University.

Damn, Louisiana has nicer things than Florida.

It doesn’t matter how new your facilities are, at the end of the day y’all are still in the sunbelt (the worst conference at the FBS level) and y’all can’t even dominate the sunbelt in these sports or even make yalls games against P5 teams in sports that matter competitive. Yalls best basketball team ever lost to a mediocre LSU team in the NIT first round. Yalls softball team lost to LSU. Yalls FB team can’t even stay within 20 points of any P5 team the play. It’s a joke

Do you live under a rock? I think baseball and softball compete nationally and host regionals every few years. Hence, our new stadiums.

I don’t understand this argument and never will. This was not our best ever basketball team. Our team in the early 1970s and mid 1980s were better teams.
quote:
Yalls softball team lost to LSU.
With a team full of freshman and sophomores who didn’t even have a Fall practice due to our head coach being fired due to a scandal. That team LSU beat had one month to prepare for this season from scratch. But you already knew that.

Yalls FB team can’t even stay within 20 points of any P5 team the play.
Hence, our new head coach. Stay tuned.
Seriously though, your “know your place” rants are cute. Nice to see you have nothing else to say when all of your rants fall into the toilet.

When the first dumbass argument fails, they just start a whole new one.

Apparently, since we are in the Sun Belt, we aren’t allowed to improve our facilities or have them outperform P5 schools.

Y’all can say whatever you want but y’all will Never win a championship. Not going to happen. Never going to be more than what y’all are right now. Keep thinking you’re more important than you really are and keep thinking y’all are some in state rival to LSU like Auburn is to Bama. Y’all are a fricking joke and I hate that you found your way into these topics. It’s nice to discuss other LA schools then the Ragin idiots jump in and try to shite on everyone’s achievements and claim they’re the ones right up there with LSU in this state. Shut the hell up with all that nonsense.
