We are fortunate today to welcome Tammy Nunez of The Times-Picayune to the blog to provide a little insight on Tulane in advance of UNT’s Conference USA opener against the Green Wave down in New Orleans.
You can find Tammy’s work on the Times-Picayune website, which is the place to go this week for all your Tulane news.
