Seems like a good hire. Should be a good game when they come to town.

so much better than #Hit6 at least Tulane and their Coaching staff have higher standards.

I think his greatest challenge will be adjusting to the academic requirements of Tulane as opposed to Troy.

True, but having players that can read will make coaching easier.

Doesn't Tulane allow partial qualifiers?

So, is Tulane going to take over the role from SMU of the school that is not North Texas that we have people continually posting about on the North Texas football board?

[DentonLurker]

Posting about teams we share a conference with, particularly the top teams in our conference, seems relevant to me.

Absolutely not! Tulane is AAU for a reason lol.

 

That's actually the reason they weren't good outside of Bowden and Fritz.

Of note:

The SMU trolls appear to linger.  It seems as though they don't want to forget about us.
Green Wave trolls haven't found us. (yet)

carry on.

I live here rent-free. Sometimes I'm not even remotely around yet someone tags me or mentions me.

You take the time to come here, read, and post.

 

you and I have different definitions of “living rent free”

 

take a month off and you’d be a distant, tag-free-memory.

I mean, I found an article that talks about them making some exceptions for athletes. Not sure how many or exactly what they do.

Also, there are some AAU schools that don’t exactly have the world’s highest admissions standards.

Go down the list no further than number 4 to find Arizona and their 87% acceptance rate. Of course this is no indication of the quality of their academics but to say AAU status dictates admission standards seems incorrect. Nebraska-Lincoln was the last school to lose AAU status back in 2011 so it doesn't seem like membership is often revoked either.

I like the hubris because at least theoretically it is now possible.  With a 12 team playoff being undefeated will guarantee your team a shot.  And they’ve been undefeated late into the season before.

If two or more G5s end up undefeated, only one at the most will go.

Maybe, but I doubt the team left out would have any wins of merit on their resume.  I could see an undefeated MAC or CUSA if there were multiple undefeated G5 champions.  And I believe Tulane will always in one of the best conference below P3/P4 at worst.
