Sure buddy except we are not going anywhere but up. Let me know how it feels to have Tulane pass you by, ask Southern Miss how that feels. The AAC is very lucky to have Tulane, they know it and people need to get on board with that or get out of our way.

Hey buddy,

Drop the attitude. It isn't the 1920-1930's when Tulane was a football powerhouse. Thank the Lord for your academics and your advantageous location and stop ragging on Marshall and Southern Miss. How quickly we forget our roots!

When is the last time you were #7 in the country? Heck you stand down.

One fluke year. Army had our own in 1996. I have defended and many times posted on this board about the Green Wave's glorious and overlooked gridiron history, but if one of your fans decides to trash talk other respectable programs, I am not going to stand for it. You can talk highly of your school without taking cheap shots at other programs.

If you want to play the history game I shall, when was the last time Tulane won a consensus national championship?

give me a break with this bull . They're just dying for a crappy athletic program with no fans.

Well the Big Ten already took Rutgers so we know they actually do take crappy athletic programs. Tulane is nowhere near a crappy athletic program, we add value to whatever conference we are in. If you want to see crap athletic programs go to Hattiesburg, Ruston, Mobile, or Huntington. You will not find it in New Orleans, we are a big time athletic program as well as a big time academic program. I was so relieved to get away from terrible loser programs that dragged our profile down for years like Southern Miss or La Tech but now it seems that we may get bogged down in a mess again. This conference better pick up the pace or risk schools like UCONN, Tulane, and Cincy leaving for good.

What makes this funny is the last Southern miss tulane game i attended in the dome, there was a tulane student sitting alone a section over from us studying during the game. Then tulane was pushed so far back they punted on 3rd down. But WE drug them down lol

Okay so you beat us in a couple of games so what? Where did that get you? We are in a far superior conference with far better exposure playing big time football and you guys are still playing small time peanuts like you always have. Your program is what is wrong with college athletics and we are so lucky to be rid of you and the other junior colleges in your joke of a conference.

Historical athletic prowess doesn't help this league now. Building the stadium and having a respectable team does. Tulane is working on the latter. They have the tools academically and the money, the question is will they use it. The 90s are a long time ago. Fwiw a major reason Tulane is in this conference is because president Hitt is an alumn.

Now you went full retard. we beat you far more than a couple of games? 23-7 is more than a couple of games. Your our *****. As down as we have been we would still beat you today. IN fact just about what a week and a half ago we beat your world class baseball team again.
Your the bottom feeder in a league that gets barely more tv money than we do now. Your no better off in fact most outsiders think the move to the aac will be the worst thing to ever happen to your football team.
How many times will your administration have to revitalize it before they shut the thing down? New cracker box size stadium with the same problem. Empty seats from local corporations being strong armed into buying tickets they dont use. With the rise of the University of Louisiana program your now at least 4th in your own city behind LSU, Tech, ULL and even southeastern.
Can you pick up a radio broadcast outside of new orleams when tulane is playing? Hardly. Southern Miss has a radio affiliate INSIDE new orleans. And our new obscure tv network is available on YOUR cable system.
Tulane is nothing but a center for northern liberals and will never be a major player in athletics.

no offense but army was never about Historical athletic prowess but about national and tv branding and an instinctual national support

Why don't you take your bush league BS off our board and back to your small time conference board. The jealousy you have for Tulane is unreal. Your school has no history of any success except for a couple of wins in the early 80's over some weak Alabama programs. That is not "athletic success". You are no different then South Alabama or Troy or Louisiana-Monroe. Except your fate as a never was and make room for the big boys of college athletics. We passed you by so many years ago, I almost forgot your program was even still around. Go back to the little kids table, the adults are talking now.

No because there would be an advantage politically and via tv contract to bring you in. It would also provide leverage with Afa. Btw I grew up wearing nuck favy shirts.

Tulane may be a great academic institution but the Green Wave has not been relevant in Football in almost 20 years! Southern Miss may be suffering at present but their football program and ALL the football programs at the fine universities you label "junior colleges" in CUSA are far superior to TULANE!

Tulane has an atrocious athletic department. It is the reason Tulane is not in a power conference.

Most good conferences want an attractive loser - an academically good school that can absorb conference losses and not upset the status quo. That is Tulane's job.

I see that in addition to an excellent and well earned academic reputation; Green Wave folks are incredibly witty and retain a great sense of humor! Kind of like the concept "Smile and the whole world smiles with you! Cry and you cry alone!" Or words to that effect!

Army would be welcomed to the AAC in a minute if they wanted it. It would be perfect for tv negotiations having army and navy.

agreed but the big 12 has Iowa st and the big 10 has Purdue and Rutgers. The SEC has Vanderbilt, and well, didn't you guys already try that? Your record during that era vs those schools in all sports except baseball is so lopsided in one column....

Plus, Army brings a tradition of winning since 1783 and winning on the road. We have the finest road victories stemming from Europe to Africa to Asia and everywhere in between. We have beaten mid-majors (Indians, Mexico), terrorism (Barbary Pirates), old blue bloods (Spain) and the big dogs (Germany, Japan, England).

UCF won the Fiesta Bowl. We won TWO World Wars!

Sure you could do that if you wanted this conference to drop below the Sun Belt. We bring the market, we bring the academics. They bring debt, a tiny market, and no history of athletic success. Some of you people just don't understand how lucky you are to have Tulane in this conference.
