What the hell was that USM

Probably didn’t need another thread on this but here it goes

You can:
A) Lock them out entirely
B) Do a play in like the NCAA Tournament

Best solution would be to shrink the CFP to 4 teams like it used to be. That was the perfect number

But they seem hellbent on expansion to grab more money so i expect they’ll either squeeze the smaller conferences out of the field

or give them the last play-in spot to reward the #1 overall seed

FG kicking in this game is dogshit lol

You probably were completely unaware there was a bowl game being played right now

It’s just as terrible as you expect it would be

Give JMU their credit for not giving up and taking what Oregon was giving them. They could've been like Tulane and just laid down and died.

They should be very proud of their team and season. They went to the other end of the country and gave it their best shot

Yeah I have no counter argument

Tulane couldn’t even cover in the biggest game in program history in a rematch against a team who lost half of their coaching staff

I will still maintain that Tulane and JMU earned their playoff spots based on the current criteria, but the haters are correct. The group of 5 sucks arse

With the portal/ NIL I don’t think we’ll see a small program with a truly special team like Boise back in the day, Tulane a few years ago, UCF, etc. who have the horses to compete on a grand stage again

Tulane has a puncher’s chance, although an upset seems very unlikely

I doubt the James Madison game is close unfortunately

Do the Oklahoma players have money on the game? They are selling hard

Snowball’s chance in hell, sure.

Tulane has a much better passing game than they did the first matchup. Retzlaff has improved a lot. The Wave offense should be able to score points this time

Ole Miss is still the better team and has superior athletes. That didn’t magically change over the last couple months

Tulane will have to play a perfect game and get some mistakes from Ole Miss IMO

I still can’t believe Ryan Silverfield got an SEC job. Never won anything at Memphis with one of the world’s largest logistics companies bankrolling his program

What a cycle this was

This is good gesture giving back to the program which gave Jon Sumrall a platform to fulfill his dream of becoming an SEC head coach

He’s also finishing the season and not shitting on Tulane like some coaches have done in the past

Speaks to his character IMO

Honestly, not to be rude, but I couldn't care less how Tulane does.

You and Tulane’s administration have that in common

Had some time to digest this other than the poor optics of the hire/ process

Hall seemed to be on a decent career trajectory before USM. If Tulane fans can memory hole his tenure there you feel better, although tough to overlook that.

Won’t be tasked with a major rebuild. He may find success with better staff decisions than he made at his last head coaching stint.

This is all just bargaining of course since the hire looks so bad. I’m somewhere in between he’s gonna nuke Tulane into the ground and he’ll keep them around where they have been.

I’m expecting some natural regression like Tulane likely would have had anyway, with the optimism Will Hall is still young enough to be hungry to win and land better job

Elite as in not total dogshit like they’re about to be under Will Hall

The cheapness and anti-athletics culture within the administration always limits Tulane to sporadic, short term success. Before the PTB step in to level the program

I really think with their finances, recruiting blueprint etc. they could be elite on a consistent basis with proper vision and investment

TLDR: You can lead a horse to water but can’t force him to drink

Yes

They kept football going for a while. 4 years of winning is a long time for Tulane

They really do hate sports there and nuke every good program when it succeeds.
