The media’s effort to dismantle FBS as we know it needs to be investigated.

“Why would Tulane want to be in the real playoff if they aren’t gonna win the national championship?!?” idk directly increasing brand visibility of the school seems like a good thing with measurable impact on admissions (also double the NIL budget if this is true)

Tulane marketers are promoting a 100% increase in applications for the 2031, pointing to the Green Wave’s appearance in the College Football Playoff as one of the influences for it. Want to know why spending big on sports matters? Here you go. facebook.com/share/v/19czEm2…

The real story of the “40 G6 coaches want a separate playoff” is that the 40 teams who only survive off of SEC buy game shellackings and $700K TV deals to play on Tuesday nights in empty stadiums shouldn’t be in the FBS

Looking at the data and thinking about what we’re seeing with Tulane Football. IDK if there’s a more glaring problem right now than the drop off for the Wave when they’re in Standard Downs (like a 1st and 10, 2nd a 6). #135 this year (almost last in FBS) and a 38% success rate.

No disrespect to UTSA who beat the Wave conclusively. But they’re 28th worst in EPA as a rush defense. Tulane puts up 67 yards on the ground, 3.0 YPC with the benefit of a garbage time explosive. Game flow aside, why can’t we run the football?

I don’t even have a theory of where we go from here. My perception is that this team was built to run the ball. We know the RB room has quality players. Being completely stuck down to down (especially on early downs) is damning, especially against a defense weaker in that area.

Trace Johnson is the guy 15-24 with 196 yards in the first half. Extended plays with his feet. Positive development.

Weekday games are a product for the TV audience and not the fans and shaming teams for low attendance at kickoff is a tired trope

Reason #1 why I'm excited for JMU to join the conference. More active crowds. This is sad for one of the "Top programs in the conference" Weekday or not. The "top program" should always have a decent crowd.

every single week someone on here: can you believe Charlotte at UAB is half full for a game starting after people leave work?! Yes. Yes I can believe that
