Facility News
EDIT - Dont get caught up on the terminology - it is not about if tulane extended or has a contract, in fact they may own the trailors/MODS, the POINT is - was there an extension by the University due to the NEED for HOUSING on campus and/or to give the AthDept more time???

TRUST ME, I HOPE I AM WRONG. I HOPE I MISUNDERSTOOD SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY.

If i am right, then we got bigger issues....

Word on the street is that Tulane has (extended the contract/renewed/decidedto keep, whatever) for the Modular Housing located by Tennis Courts/Reily Student Rec Center for 2 more years. This site is the location where the multi-plex sports facility for Tulane Athletics programs was to be. It would have significantly raised the level and quality of Tulane Mens/Women basketball and Volleyball.

The last rumor out there was that next summer 2010 was to be the start of construction on that facility with completion a year or so later. Now, if this holds true - that date gets pushed back to at minimum to the summer of 2011 and completion being in 2012 or longer....

The contract was renewed supposedly b/c Tulane Athletics could not/ did not raise enough money to get the project advanced enough so the University pulled the trigger to extend the MOD housing.

Can the date be changed back if someone gives athletics a blank check???? I dont know, but i do know that waiting another 3 years or more for something that is already many years too late is NOT good. I would assume that if this is getting pushed back, that the Fogelman reconstruction or deconstruction can not occur.

TULANE - eventually - when you are playing with a water-gun while everyone else has live ammo - you either have to surrender, meet your maker or change.

What's it gonna be??

Funny how things come around

This was something I posted June 25, 2009 and recently some Tulane Greenbackers had an issue with the same place. Here is what I wrote, fool me once, fool me twice

You know what makes me want to PUKE
when Uptown bars that are known to be TULANE BARS have a LSU CWS party! I mean, i know people need to make money during the summer and I know when you are running a business - in this economy - all money is just about good money!

But there is just something about your local Bar, located a couple blocks off of campus - which is known to be the Haven of Tulane Athletics, especially baseball players and fans - is hosting a huge LSU party. Fans yelling degrading things about Tulane ---

I know the world I have chosen to live in, this world of being a Tulane fan in a State that 5 of 10 people would pick LSU sports over the Saints and Hornets. Being in an area of the State that 9 of 10 folks would pick LSU sports.... I know I have chosen this world - and I am DAMN PROUD of my choice - but it is so crazy disgusting it makes me sick sometimes.

I have no problem with my Tulane Bar located at the corner of Hillary and Maple, trying to get $$$$ especially during the summer time when Tulane students go North, and LSU kids come SEast -

But it still makes me want to rip my guts out!

To the old and wise & young and dumb....

.............."THIS ONE BELONGS TO THE WAVE" T.G.

Take Action!

2009-09-22T20:05:00.009-05:00

The rain keeps coming.

I just read that practice today 9/22/09 was cut off due to rain. If it aint Bob kicking the team off the field then it is mother nature and TULANE cant allow that mean azz &$#*# to continue to plague the football team for another year - or DECADE! Take Action!

If there is anyone at Tulane from The Presidents office down to the Athletic Director that cares about the future of Tulane ATHLETICS (not just football) they will MAKE a way to get a covered/stable - hurricane proof yada yada indoor facility. If those LEADERS cant make it happen then someone that has the pull ($$,$$$,$$$) to make those LEADERS take action - MUST do it NOW.

That indoor facility needs to break ground in December right after the Tulane Bowl practices are completed or Toledo needs to move Spring practice the 1st possible date that the NCAA will allow and then the ground breaking must begin directly after that last practice to be ready for August 8 or so when Fall Camp 2010 would begin. The team only needs the main practice field during the summer. Take Action

If there is ANYONE at Tulane that cares - truly cares or that has the money and the balls to make action happen at Tulane - now is the time! We either need to make this happen for our football team - the only sport that can MAKE enough money for the entire University or fold now! Take Action!

Stop sending our team out just to sit back and watch them fail. Stop sending them out with less then our enemies and expecting results! Stop sending them out naked in a snow storm! Take Action!

Action needs to be taken by those that care - if we need to March on GIBSON like we did during the review then this is something that deserves that much thought and concern! If you dont think it is that serious - then see the W-L results the last couple decades - this facility does MORE than just keep the rain away - it shows COMMITMENT! - Take Action

We can live without our own stadium, thats a dream but we all know deep down if we win, the Dome is more then adequate and is world class... if we win for 20 years then we wont have to ask for stadium - someone with the Cash will hand it to us because Tulane will be of value to them to market........

Someone on that campus must realize that success in football this day in age can drive up your academics and Scholar recruiting and you will get more people making donations than you could dream of. Dorms will be built, academic centers improved, expanded and renovated. Take Action!

Everyone knows (even if it is deep down) that S.C. wants to have some legacy he leaves - thats his personality - well if you want to leave something - how about allowing Tulane to be what it is supposed to be - in the top 5-10 academic/athletic institutions in the country.... S.C. - its time - Take Action!

A great academic school
in the deep south deserves this -
that is what TULANE once was
at its proudest moments!

Someone who cares needs to take action for this football team and University... and realize that it is about much more then just football in the end.

LEADERS - Time to take action!

How much Green do you Bleed!

How long does someone stranded on an Island keep yelling from from the mountain tops for "help, can anybody hear me - is anybody out there" before they give up and just realize they are stuck alone - coming to terms with - it is what it is?

Well, many Tulane fans have been feeling that way years, even decades. It seems as though no matter how many people are yelling (making phone calls, sending letters, stop sending in donations, stop coming to sporting events, etc...) from their own relative mountain top - there is no one out there in a suit listening.

If someone is listening, they must be light years away because the response time to the cry for help is void.

We cant be in the heads of some of the Tulane Leaders - but when there is silence, there is usually trouble.

In a world that is driven by main-stream media, the internet and act your fingers information with immediate satisfaction - Tulane the University is forcing athletics to still look for a pay phone to make a call and call 411 for information rather then using worldwideweb. It is like comparing an Army of Cavemen going to battle with a modern day brilliant military strategist with unlimited technology and soldiers.

It seems as if our leaders are sending our boys out to square off -----in a Fixed Fight....

Tulane Football...

2009-09-05T10:21:00.002-05:00

Shooting blanks so far.....

You have to be impressed with
Kemp - break down the numbers - his 2nd half was great - no time
WR play - two Seniors stepping up big for this team
The team - didnt lay down and let it get out of control - easily could have laid an egg in the 2nd half
DEF overall - missing preseason 2 starting Dlinemen, starting LB/S/Nickle in Sonnier and the play of some Freshmen

You have to be worried about...
O-Line ----- OUCH!
O-Line -----OUCH!

Expect Changes and opportunity this week in practice or at the BYE WEEK

Quote taken from a poster on YOGWF (Tulane forum) that seems to be brilliant and a possible parent of a student-athlete.

The conversation is about why Tulane is getting so many early verbal commits....

greenaub wrote:
".....because of credibility of the coaching
staff.
They recruit a lot of good players. There is only so much room.
Because they are in on a bunch of good players, you've got to commit early or
you won't be a part of Tulane's class. Especially when you know they want 1 or 2
from a particular position.

It is not easy to have the opportunity to receive:
1) a great academic opportunity
2) great atmosphere and place to go to school
3) a super athletics staff to develp you
4) football opportunity-conference that has 6 bowl tie-ins,
opportunity to play anybody, anywhere, in the dome, on ESPN
5) great relationships in the locker room with your future
team-mates
6) not getting usurped by junior-college transfers in to the
program
7) Play in a city where all your homies want to come and see you
play

Can only take about 19 or 20 this year-they better get in
quick."

This is not fact

But if Tulane MBB can sign anyone of the potential 1 or more kids ocming on campus they should be good quality.

Why, Tulane passed on a 7fter and backed off of Moore for several reasons which was most likely a good choice (not a bad kid, just not a good fit).
Well if coach DD didnt sign one of these and didnt feel the need to fill up with some big bodies - for him to offer someone now or land someone now - would mean TO ME - that these are kids that are transferring, or most likely deflecting from a program where the coaches left or NCAA sanctions may be playing a part.

Point is - IF we land someone at this point - it will most likely be a HUGE land - someone that will make an immediate impact.

Education pays off

2009-06-25T13:17:00.004-05:00

I was thinking about something when I was told about a recruit visit to a major program no too long ago. The staff was able to tell the recruit - "we are eating here where player X owns/runs the place. They played for us and spent X many years in pro sports"
"We are going here where player Z owns/runs this business, played for us and went to pro sports for Z many years"

I LOVE the fact that at Tulane we put our share of players in Pro Sports, but I love even more the fact that our coaches can say

"This business/Firm/ - President, CEO, Owner etc.. played sports for us, graduated with a degree from TULANE UNIVERSITY and didnt need to go pro$$ in order to own a company."

There is something to having the ability through your education, to control your future with your brain rather than being the person who fronts the dollars and puts a name on something that they could not even dream up.....

This is not aimed at everyone named Five Star, just some! *wink*

"Welcome to Tulane University. Founded in 1834, Tulane is one of the most highly regarded and selective independent research universities in the United States. A member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, we take pride in being a part of this select group of 62 universities with “pre-eminent programs of graduate and professional education and scholarly research.” Our schools and colleges offer undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in the liberal arts, science and engineering, architecture, business, law, social work, medicine and public health and tropical medicine." http://tulane.edu/about/

Response to Question

2009-06-25T10:01:00.003-05:00

"Anonymous said...
any details on these "big names" in football?!and when will we know when this could "rattle the nation" in basketball?im way to excited to find out the news on either of those!!"

Answer:
one big name is public. McKnight from Curtis. The other is bigger than McKnight from my sources & WaveReport. He is the Big Fish in the Pond for Tulane.
There was also a linemen reported by the Wavereport, anyone can view the picture of him and it is free info that he is a linemen from Baton Rouge.

EDIT- 3:00pm - potentially more than one hoops recruit will be in town within the next couple days - potentially...

That is all I can tell you for now. I will wait a bit longer with some of the info I have that I am sure I am in the minority on. I also am sure the other people that report on Tulane will release some info very soon. This is a free blog and I dont really gain anything from it other than being able to write about what I love and feel for Tulane - so sometimes i wont break news first for the sake of the FANHOOD contest - I will wait until someone else breaks it and then respond to it. But not always...

When it comes to facilities I didnt feel my news would be hurtful since it was public information as someone stated - in the School Newspaper. Plus - it was made clear that the facility news could swing depending on money issues.

Thanks for the support and the questions...

More Thoughts

2009-06-23T09:23:00.004-05:00

I apprecite the support. In the end, people are all different and think differently. What one person views as productive and positve someone else will view as negative and destructive. I really didnt think anything I posted was negative, but you post things people dont want to hear - you are made into the goat so people dont have to look at the real issues. My problem with US FANS, is that a lot of us want to pull out our private sticks and see who has the biggest FANHOOD!

I go to more games so I have more rights
I live further away and travel to a lot of games so I have more rights
I know the VIP's and get first hand info so I am the best
and the biggest one of all
I give XXX,XXX amount of money so I should be King and everything I say is Biblical!

Look - rank you fanhood in inches or miles - anyone who supports Tulane is special. To say you are a fan of Michigan or USC or LSU is easy and doesnt require any effort or dedication.
To support Tulane, to care about the little things going on - to "waste" your time on forums or blogs or wearing a hat or shirt takes mental toughness and heart. Kind of like the mental toughness it takes to punt on 3rd down knowing you will seal your fate and the fate of 10 other coaches by doing so. Ok, bad example.....

Its borderline insanity - some call it stupidity. Call me the most insane, dumbest freggin person on the planet if thats the case - I LOVE TULANE ATHLETICS!

Anger

2009-06-21T10:38:00.002-05:00

I sense some anger out there, well I never said anything was factual, but it was what i here from people around Tulane University. The people I know, or people that know people I know are part of the bigger picture at Tulane, not just athletics. If you only get your sources from someone in athletics, then they may not be able to tell you anything or they may just not know. It is not anyones fault. People need to realize that the athletic dept has to do what Gibson Hall and the Board says, not the other way around - this aint the upriver school or other schools that have their funding for all areas driven by athletic success.

My sources are some of the same people who pass on info to the portrayed "all knowing" on some of the Forums. My sources are some people on other forums. My sources are people that work at Tulane or with Tulane in some way. My sources are sometimes people who are spouses of people at Tulane.

The #1 issue is this, you cant be mad at me.... i have not caused decades of losing and unkept promises at the place I Love. All I did was state that I heard from more than 1 person that Tulane has or may have needed to keep the FEMA housing for another year. This should be no surprise since Tulane needs 100% funding in hand before starting a project. It makes perfect sense for the University to keep it another year rather than tearing it down before the 100% is in place. I hope it gets done SOON! Tear that crap down!

I think an insider on YOGWF said that Tulane was supposed to start re-modeling OR building new dorms on campus in the upcoming year(s), so maybe extending the FEMA housing has something to do with this also - so it benefits the University and Athletics to have more time to get $$$$ in hand.

Anyway, the news is just news - not enough to go on a witch hunt - if you were upset, I am sorry. If you dont like me, dont read me... I can blog here just to read it myself - to get things off of my mind, off of my chest.

It is an UNOFFICIAL Tulane Athletics blog - meaning I can say what I want, it is my opinion and my thoughts. I will try and keep Tulane's best interest in heart when I blog, but if I feel something should be public - I will say it. If I feel there the PEOPLE need to know, they will know! I dont have a Cone of Silence but I will try and use caution.
I am no different than if I post on YOGWF, WaveReport, NOLA Blogs, Scout Blogs....etc.

Those that read here have the choice to bring attention to what is blogged...... If you feel that something is good news, pass it on. If it is bad news - keep it quiet. If it is so bad that you can not live with it, COMMENT on the article and if I see your point I may take it down. If you just dont like me and want to knit-pic all that I do - then go cry somewhere else and censor other folks.

Happy Fathers Day - God Bless

EDIT - Dont get caught up on the terminology - it is not about if tulane extended or has a contract, in fact they may own the trailors/MODS, the POINT is - was there an extension by the University due to the NEED for HOUSING on campus and/or to give the AthDept more time???

TRUST ME, I HOPE I AM WRONG. I HOPE I MISUNDERSTOOD SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY.

If i am right, then we got bigger issues....

Word on the street is that Tulane has (extended the contract/renewed/decidedto keep, whatever) for the Modular Housing located by Tennis Courts/Reily Student Rec Center for 2 more years. This site is the location where the multi-plex sports facility for Tulane Athletics programs was to be. It would have significantly raised the level and quality of Tulane Mens/Women basketball and Volleyball.

The last rumor out there was that next summer 2010 was to be the start of construction on that facility with completion a year or so later. Now, if this holds true - that date gets pushed back to at minimum to the summer of 2011 and completion being in 2012 or longer....

The contract was renewed supposedly b/c Tulane Athletics could not/ did not raise enough money to get the project advanced enough so the University pulled the trigger to extend the MOD housing.

Can the date be changed back if someone gives athletics a blank check???? I dont know, but i do know that waiting another 3 years or more for something that is already many years too late is NOT good. I would assume that if this is getting pushed back, that the Fogelman reconstruction or deconstruction can not occur.

I would suspect that Coach Dave Dickerson if he is able to get the ball club to .500 or higher next season will be on the 1st train out of town with this delay- yet again. I dont blame him. I mean, he would have left anyway since he is not a Southern Man (LA, MS, AL) south carolina is different my frieends! - but he will indeed seek to leave sooner rather than later.

I think this also brings in the discussion of how much longer Coach Lisa Stockton will remain at Tulane. Her recruiting is impacted just as much as Dickerson an dlets face it, each year that goes by those banners up in Fogelman get older and older on the Women's side.... We used to be a feared program nationally, now we cant scare a mouse in CUSA.

TULANE - eventually - when you are playing with a water-gun while everyone else has live ammo - you either have to surrender, meet your maker or change sides.

What's it gonna be??

Are we still talking hoops?

Never thought we would still be talking hoops at this time of year but after hearing from a couple HS coaches, they say that we really missed out on getting that kid that left us hanging and going to Houston. They said they felt we reached for the big kid we signed, but that they understood we were thin on the front line and had to do something. The coach said - anything can happen when you work hard, and that is exactly what the post player better do b/c he is not ready for the next level to help Tulane. Through the grapevine we also heard that the 7-footer we were interested in might not be worth the trouble - meaning - unless he works 10x's as hard as the kid we signed - it would be a wasted scholarship.

Both of these kids are big, but they were dominated by smaller guys at the HS level so what do you expect at the collegiate level?

They did say and express that Dickerson is making ground locally with recruits - b/c most basketball players think NBA 1st - even if they suck! And at TULANE we can damn near promise that you will crack the starting line-up so you can play early and often to get your name out there. The fact that Tulane has done better the past couple years and has had some success in the CUSA tourney has helped. The best selling point for Tulane is that you can come in and play early and dominate in this conference on an Individual level.... lets hope that it works out that way with PLENTY of local/regional talent coming out next year!

These are just thoughts from folks who have seen these guys play in person- they hope it wokrs out for Tulane b/c you never know what hard work will Equal-- like say - Linton Johnson his last 2 years in college and in the NBA...... We need the big guy to be ready now, but if he ends up having a JR and SR year like Johnson - We should take it!

The folks I heard from also said that they are VERY excited about the JC transfer we got. They said the kid is amazing and that we will be watching a Scoring Clinic the next two years! He is worth 2 scholarships!

Here is a list of STAR athletes and comparing it to some of what I feel are our competition as far as academic schools, regional schools or schools I feel we were once better than or on PAR with at one point in the past 10-15 years. Obviously stars are the opinions of mostly unathletic sports writers and unathletic talent evaluators - but we all read it, buy it and go nuts if we supposedly sign a highly ranked kid. The same way we base our thoughts of Rivals stars is the same as when we look at movie critics, theatre critics, food critics, hotel critics and so on. So get over it - i guess? The only thing I didnt do on here that you can look up at your hearts content(or maybe I will do it later) is you can go look up the Previous Years record for some of the classes, to see whether or not having a WINNING year actually impacted recruiting.
Well here you go - have fun.

Football Thoughts

2009-06-09T08:45:00.004-05:00

Recruiting, what can you do/control?
We may get 1 or 2 here and there that pick Tulane over some middle of the pack programs, but we are a couple years of WINNING away from getting 2-4 kids per year from upper-middle class schools and we are 6-10 years of WINNING(bowl games)each year away from getting 4-6 kids each year from Top 25 programs. We need to win, win win win win win for more than a decade and beat LSU to get on the same recruiting level(meaning each year we battle for kids -and we get 6-10 high profile/qualified kids!).

Over the next 15 years, we need to go to 12 bowl games, then we can begin to battle with LSU, BAMA and Texas for kids-. That means each year, not a fluke kid every now and then. To compete with the big boys in our region, we need to do this. Then you already at that point have Arkansas, Georgia, Miss is your grasp and have Florida from Talla. to Orlando in your grasp!

The next 15 years, 12 bowl games at least.
Strategically, you figure we will 1 or 2 of these teams on our schedule each year. So you will have a minimum of 15 opportunities.
Over the next 15 years - we need to SCHEDULE AND have 12-15 wins vs. LSU, BAMA, TEXAS, GEORGIA, G-TECH, OLE MISS, ARKANSAS, TX A&M, TCU, FSU, FLORIDA, TENN, SOUTH CAROLINA, UNC, MIAMI, TX TECH, LOUISVILLE, RUTGERS, SOUTH FLORIDA, VANDY, STANFORD, DUKE, NOTRE DAME, AUBURN and go to and beat either BYU, UTAH, BOISE St. or FRESNO St........... EDIT - ADD BAYLOR

Moore Hoops

2009-06-04T08:31:00.002-05:00

Just as suspected, and great reporting by the Tulane Rivals network @ TheWaveReport, Brandon Moore is leaning towards FIU b/c just like Kenny Cain of John Curtis - He just wants to get away from NOLA. Who knows why and it doesnt matter, if the kid wants to get away from here for whatever reason - that is his choice. Can we use him - hell yes we can!

We will see what takes place in the next 5-10 days. I know there are a lot of local kids coming up for next years recruiting process - but is Tulane in position to hold a scholarship for yet another year based on the Hope that we land a kid next year? We havent been able to fill scholarships in hoops - so we dont have the luxury really. If we dont get Moore or another 6'9 or above guy - We better stay 100% healthy next year or we will get pounded next year at the PF/C position.

Good Luck Coach D.D.

Mac Truck

2009-06-03T15:48:00.004-05:00

Randomly came across a person close to Trent Mackey (LB transfer from Duke, original Tulane verbal)
He said that he and the family were very surprised at T-Macz choice to go to Duke after growing up in Tulane camps and wanting to go to Tulane. Said Duke came in last minute and T-Mac fell for the Duke basketball lure more than anything. Said D"Duke isnt all it is cranked up to be" and that T-Mac almost immediately realized that Duke was not the place for him. He said that "this is what this time in life is for, you want to get out on your own, make your own choices - you live(hopefully) and you learn" He said that this experience has only made T-Mac work even harder now - even though it sucks having to sit out a year....

Seems like a big Tulane supporting family that is very excited to come to games next season from S.west to S.east La.... Expect to see more of the Mackey family tree interested in Tulane in the future

Football talk - Style of Coaching/strategy

2009-06-03T11:22:00.002-05:00

I think all this talk about the DEF and what will be run, what type and the talk about the OFF and the type yada yada is really just pifffff
Coaches have a - say - specialty - a specific system they are comfortable with - and that is their base - where they start from ..... but tell me a coach at any level that plays 10 games or more - against the same OFF or same DEF - You cant................
Does it matter if the D-coord likes a 4-3, 3-4, 1-3-5-2? NOPE - b/c it not just about what your base def is, it is about how you can be very good at what you do - and then how good you can adjust your DEF style from week to week, half to half, quarter to quarter and play by play....
We cant get caught up in the fact that CBT likes the WCO - it is what he is most comfortable with - and what he will base the OFF out of, but in the end, it will be how he evaluates another teams DEF strengths - and if he needs to adjust to run more, throw more - Go to a spread for a game or a half ----
At the NCAA and NFL level - you can get caught up on one thing, it is all about adjustments, reaction and adaptation to your personnel -Hang your hat on that

EDIT **3:45pm***Plus, as a poster named Long Green on YOGWF said it best - You can not honestly judge or come to a conclusion on CBT's tenure yet - we havent had the horses needed to run his race - this year should be a much better glimpse and 2010 should be the make or breaker - barring any devasting disaster - natural or personnel****

Hoops News Updated

2009-06-01T21:17:00.003-05:00

Edit-6/2/09 7am
Sometimes when Tulane doesnt sign a player - we as fans think it is "the coaches fault" for not getting the player. In the case of Brandon Moore - from what I hear, he is a good ball player with size, but he prefers and plays more outside than he does inside - and Brandon is believed to be thinking heavily on that. Of Course Tulane does NOT need another person on the outside on what will be a guard heavy team. So using the last scholly on a big man that does not play big may not be wise. If we dont get Brandon, it may be b/c we dont feel he is the right fit, not b/c the staff didnt try hard enough.

I also think that Isiah will tell a kid "whatever he wants to hear" to get them to campus - but has no intentions of being held to his word. Isiah is most likely "over-recruiting", and it will come back to bite him with unhappy kids.

another thing is this, Brandon is said to have some, lets say -spunk to his attitude. Tulane likes him, liked him a lot more a year ago then they do now - and his attitude may play a role in how much the Wave really want him. FIU is the leader at about a 60-40 ratio - for Brandon. For others in his life - they are about 80-20 Tulane.

Does Brandon want to come to Tulane, and better yet - does Tulane want Brandon? Do the hoops skills out weigh the personality faults? Is it just a young man being a young man - cocky or confident in his skills?
We know Tulane may Need him, but can the youngster show some maturity to his came while making noise for the local crowd...... We will hear soon enough!

Breaking Hoops News

2009-06-01T11:19:00.005-05:00

Tulane University is a very real possibility for this local gem!
New Orleans native and former Holy Cross basketball stud BRANDON MOORE is leaving Arkansas and is looking for a new home. Brandon was heavily recruited by Tulane in 2007, and friends, family and coaches urged him to stay close to home to play. He signed with Arkansas and found that it was not a good fit. Arkansas wanted him to stay, but Brandon thought differently.

Brandon is a 6'9 220lb Athletic Power Forward and is down to Tulane and Florida International as his two choices for college. Florida International is obviously where Isiah Thomas is now and he uses the sentence "I know people" - when referring to his NBA credientials while trying to lure in transfers and JC recruits. That is true, and it sounds good to a young person, but the reality is - if you are good - you will not go un-noticed.

Brandon, being local has already visited Tulane several times and is familiar with the staff and players. He is said to be visiting FIU this upcoming week/weekend and a decision should soon follow.
The appeal of going to the state of Florida and the Isiah lure may be a bit too much for Mr. Moore, but if he makes the choice that many dear to him told him would be the best choice the first time around -
We may just see Brandon Moore in a Tulane Uniform for the 2010-2011 season with 3 years of eligibility remaining.
He would hopefully get a year with Kris Richard, David Booker & JC transfer Aaron Holmes. He would also have 3 years with Kendall Timmons who red-shirted this past season.

Brandon, come home - we need you here my friend. Tulane shall rise again - Be a Witness!

Tulane Freshmen Footballers "Doin' Work"

2009-05-30T08:01:00.003-05:00

A good majority of the incoming FR class are reporting for duty at the end of June/early July. A couple young men have been asked by coaches to get to NOLA as soon as this Monday - June 1, a month before everyone else because they might be need to be Game Ready ASAP! Some guys just simply are a cut above the rest and insisted on being in NOLA now, just because they "Love their Jobs" - Gotta like the future!!

The guys reportedly coming in this week or hoping to get here within the next 7 days are
Cody Ledford, Wilson Van Hooser, DJ Banks, LJ Abrams, Hunter Howden and Zach Morgan (who is already in NOLA)

That is 3 massive O-Linemen, the big play making LB Ledford, the multi dimensional Banks and the best kept secret at WR(slash Recruiter) with Mr. Van Hooser!

Southern Miss Golden Eagles-15
vs.
Tulane Greenwave-2

I dont even know if I can or if I should comment about this story. What a shame!
Tulane goes down 11-1 and you think to yourself - "okay - we will get 10 run ruled -- lets get it over - take a coule shots of cheap liquor and get ready for Thursday!"
Unbelievable right?
WRONG!
We decide to extend the game for another inning only to get FURTHER EMBARRASSED by losing 15-2, HBP several batters in a row which even if not on purpose - looks very very very very bad and I am sure next year during the regular season - Southern Miss will be paying us back for that - big time - get your popcorn ready!

The Southern Miss fans had a field day with this one - not only did our team get trounced - the Southern Miss fans were allowed to get decades of "step-child" syndrome off of their backs! Hell, they were even able to get the 1998 loss in football off of their backs with this butt-kickin'!

I will have more for you later, maybe in 15 minutes - maybe in a couple hours - but Im sure I am not done with this one yet!

Boy oh Boy!

When Change Comes Knockin

2009-05-18T13:20:00.004-05:00

I read something the other day on YOGWF that got me thinking. Someone made a post about baseball and the coaching staff.
They stated their thought that Coach Jones would retire and become the next Tulane AD and that Chad Sutter would be the next baseball HC. -
This got me thinking about other sports and the what ifs' - although I dont think any of this will happen soon - I do agree that when RJ retires, he will want to have his hand in running an Athletic Dept.

These are only the WHAT IF worst case, things dont get better as they seem scenarios---
Football - If CBT retire or leaves in the next 1-3 years - Tulane will promote Greg Davis to head Coach - he is currently our RB coach. He then will finally hire Terrence Jones to come back and coach at Tulane as well as hire former Greenie Nelson Stewart. He is currently the HC at Newman.

Mens hoops 1-3 years -Tulane will look to its past and either hire Perry Clark(if he is not too old) or Ron Everhart. I think if its not one of these two, then they hire as HC and that person brings in a former player at Tulane.. I can see Linton Johnson being a good coach along with keeping Kim Leiws and adding Hot Rod!.. God Forbid they bring back Finney!

Womens Hoops - 1-3 years - If we dont get back to where we were - then Tulane will look at bringing in one of the former Asst. we had back in the late 90's. We have one right across the street at Loyola! One of the old Asst's will come back and bring in either Grace Daly, Barbara Farris or Janell Burse into the coaching world.....

Men's Hoops!

2009-05-07T15:48:00.004-05:00

Mens basketball signing period came with a great huge exciting clump of poop! I dont mean the player that we signed was poop, i think he will be what we really need in the all guard offense we will have - a rebounder and defender. The thundering sound of poop was the way we got played by another kid who was set to sign with us in the early period and didnt, and then held out to sign with a hoops juggernaut - !! ok not really - it was HOUSTON!! if we would have lost him to Prarie View it would have been better than losing him to a CUSA foe that backdoored us for him!

I think we will be better than people think next year - as long as our big men stay healthy.

Watch out for Timmons & Holmes - these two are most likely the two best pure hoops athletes we have had here in a decade or more!

TU NCAA hopes just went crashing down?

2009-05-07T15:19:00.005-05:00

Did last nights baseball performance or *cough* CHOKE *cough* cost the Greenies a post season at large bid?

They were dominated by a UNO team that played with a lot of emotion not knowing with 100% confidence if it would be the last time they ever played this cross-town rivalry. Hornets owner pretends as if he cares but in the end it is about ticket sales and suite sales at the N.O. ARENA (cant blame him really- I just hope he backs Tulane the same way if our debacle rears its ugly head again!)

Should we have won? YES -
was it likely that we would pull the sweep of the series - NOPE!
We couldnt even sweep leMOYNE! the only team we swept was Northen Colorado and they are a mere 12-33 ! and in a conference that does not have BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!! & has a team ERA of 10.56!

So- did they choke - well, maybe but series sweeps even not all in one weekend are hard to come by. We took 2 of 3 and that is what you want from a series.

What did you really expect this year, seriously? My hopes and wishful thinking was high, but my expectations(reality without green goggles) for this season was just a little higher than where we are right now - I at least thought we would do better in CUSA standings, but it aint over til its over! If this team can stay focussssssed! They can make a play for the NCAAs - but dont expect much noise if they make it -

Ok, I will be offering up some of my thoughts on Tulane Baseball so far, the furture of Men's hoops via recruiting and of course Tulane Football and Spring Practice very soon!

Recruiting Hardships

2009-02-15T09:56:00.002-06:00

All Tulane teams have an uphill battle in recruiting - our proud academic standing can only carry us so far. Our city is a city that everyday you can find something else to love about it if you get out to see it. Our University is not too big and not too small - it's just right! The problems lie in the whether people feel safe in the city, most(90%) of the horrible crimes do not happen around Tulane University - The immediate area around the University is mostly an area of burglaries and minor assaults, which in my opinion is not a problem here, but in any medium to large city you will find that. There are just bad people out there and preying on a college campus area is just - "normal". Tulane is expected to begin a lighting project all around campus this summer to improve visibility in the immediate area and also installing security cameras.
Good Job Tulane!

No matter how much Tulane fans want to get past the Review and Katrina (or any hurricane now) - we cant! Not because we don't want to but because our competition will use it against us for 10 more years and we cant pretend that they wont, so that makes it relevant and current unfortunately.
Have we moved on and are we better - YES! If the University didn't want athletics of any sport around, Katrina was the perfect opportunity to make the move. They didn't, so as hard as it may be sometimes to understand the Administrations choice or lack of action - They didn't get rid of Athletics so something must be in the works. The Tulane Board and President Cowen want this place to be up there with the Dukes, Stanfords and now Vanderbilt's- be the best in academics and athletics.

Wave Hoops 2/14

2009-02-15T09:19:00.010-06:00

As usual the Greenwave men and women can not show any level of staying consistent. The Greenwave are up and down more than watching animals on the "discovery channel!"

Both teams have to fight a battle in recruiting.

Many Wave fans give D.Dickerson a lot of grief due to his inability to land an impact recruit so far in his tenure but over the last 5 years the Women's' hoops team has taken a turn away from the once dominate and top 40 program they were for a decade.

The guys that have been D. Dickersons best players were the product of another coach. Dickerson was supposed to be known for his recruiting more than his X's and O's but it looks to be the opposite, at least on the defensive side of the ball. The team scraps and fights and I hate losing but I would rather have a team that fights while going down rather than say - A football team the last year or so in the C. Scelfo era that seemed to not even show up or care. I'm just saying - ya know? Seems like we need to get S. Finney in here to recruit and let D. Dickerson do the coaching?
D. Dickerson has a solid group of guards coming back and as long as they can improve from 3pt range and free throws(ouch!) - we should be OK. The problem is at the Bigs(C,PF) position. R. Louisme is playing like a man possessed this year but he is about all we have there. A. McQueen is playing well too but lets be honest, this is basketball and you cant win many games with 2 PF playing the C position and ONLY having 2 PF on the team at that. We could sign the top guard in the country and it wouldn't matter if we don't get a BIG SIGNED! It will be tough, hoops recruiting is very hard compared to a decade ago or more & Fogelman Arena is only getting older and older while other schools we are competing against have at the least released images of new arenas or facilities they are building if they have not already built them.
Tulane is supposedly getting a practice facility that may resemble the facility SMU recently built and then going to get some major renovations to Fogelman Arena making the outside look the same but the inside a brand new atmosphere! - Well Tulane fans are dying while waiting and not because of holding their breath - its just been that long since these types of promises have gone unfulfilled.

L. Stockton, the women's coach has a nice core of young players starting with finally getting what I feel is a solid Big in the middle with Freshmen B. Benzio. She has the most potential at that position since T. McKiver, B. Farris and J. Burse. I am not putting her up there yet - but she is good enough if she keeps working and stays in shape. B. Lindsey is the best player right now and she is only a RS SO. So we have 2 really good ladies in the post for at least 2 more years and if you factor in a transfer guard from TCU (D. Nunn) then we are good to go! I have heard from reports at Tulane and TCU that she is tenacious, scrappy and one hell of a ball player. Unlike Men's' hoops transfer D. Booker(UNC-Char), D. Nunn is not expected to be a bust or shall I say she is not expected to fall short on expectations. Supplement that with an already young roster and we are looking good for the future. Especially with the signings of O. Grayson & B. McDonald incoming next year.

All in all, we are not down and out in Men's' hoops but we better get a bit more competitive faster & in Women's' hoops I will give about 2 more seasons before I consider them at the same level as the men's team.

Football - Ole Miss & Tulane renew Rivalry!

2009-02-12T17:50:00.000-06:00

It was announced today that Tulane and Ole Miss will renew a rivalry that began in 1893. It is the first football game between the two teams in 9 years and the 70th overall. They will play the 1st game in 2010 in New Orleans and the Rebels come again to New Orleans in 2016. The Greenies will travel to Oxford in 2012 & 2017.

This is a huge landing for Tulane as Ole Miss looks to be taking the turn toward a consistent run atop the upper tier of SEC schools after this past 2008 season.

There is no doubt that the Tulane administration felt the need to get something done with top level competition in the region with the every growing deceitfulness and untrustworthy athletic departments of LSU to the West and Alabama to the East.

This was a great job by anyone involved to get this done now so going into the future, recruiting will be made just a little more easier with games vs. LSU, Alabama, BYU, Ole Miss and Ga. Tech all on tap!

Lets just make sure we get our share of the games at HOME(and play well/win while we are home) to spark local interest!

LSU is doing its best to wiggle every game from the Greenies and move them to Baton Rouge just before they bail on a contract and Alabama has already backed out of one game next year with Tulane(replaced with BYU) so they can go "make that money" and play Va. Tech in Atlanta.

Hello Tulane Greenwave fans, welcome to the unofficial blog of Tulane Athletics. I am a Tulane fan of all sports and I will post my thoughts on many Tulane Athletics games, players, coaches, scheduling, injuries and other issues in Tulane Athletics - nothing is off limits but I will attempt (with no promises) to remain tasteful in my thoughts. I will also dive into other issues surrounding the University or the New Orleans area if the mood strikes.
