SoWal 2010 NCAAF Pick'ems

[30A Skunkape]

LSU actually beat us THAT badly? No surprise. But how many of their players went to med school or law school or grad school? So many of the Tulane players did. Of course, things have changed.

Actually we only went to Tulane football games to be with our friends. Purely a social event with pre- and post- frat parties. We spent most of our time partying in the SAE section of the stadium (alcohol was sold at Tulane sports events back then).

Tulane basketball games were spent by cnestg8r playing basketball and me partying in the stands with our friends while the concessionaires were selling beer and saying, "Get the feelin' with Falstaff!"

I didn't get interested in sports until we started grad school at UF. Then we both became crazed and deranged by Gator football.

I'm not sure, but since the game is football, which school has produced more NFL pros? Huh? Silly Tulane folks think they are smart but they recruit lawyers and doctors to play football!;-)

By the way, last time I went, they still sell beer at the Tulane football games. Shame that they tore down Tulane Stadium.

True re the NFL pros.

I'm glad they sell beer at Tulane games. I wonder if marijuana is still legal on campus?

I also am sad that they tore down the old Sugar Bowl. Although I'm sure that the kids on campus don't miss all of the Yats coming on campus for Saints games with their noise interrupting our Sunday study day. One of our claims to fame is that we did the nasty on the 50 yard line of the old Sugar Bowl. As a varsity athlete, hubby knew how to get into the stadium after hours. It was nice to walk to the old Sugar Bowl on campus instead of going to the Superdome.

BTW we just got the Tulanian magazine. After Katrina when Tulane almost bit the dust, this year they had 44,000 applications for 1600 spots in the freshman class. The most applications for any private university. Awesome. Well done, Scott Cowen (the President of TU)!

There is a contingent that wants to hang him for doing away with Newcomb and some of the undergrad programs. I guess the proof is in the pudding, he held the ship together during a very tumultuous period.

I called my Tulane/Newcomb roommate in a rage when Tulane did away with Newcomb and most of engineering (including Big D's major, mechanical engineering) after Katrina. I figured that she could help "fix it" since she is married to U.S. Congressman Charlie Melancon. She said that I wouldn't believe how bad things were in Louisiana, and that Tulane was lucky to still be in existence due to the devastation from Katrina. I trust her.

Coincidentally our daughter got a full academic scholarship to Tulane then. She turned it down when she got accepted at MIT on "Pi Day" (3.14). I'm not sure that she could have dealt with the turmoil of NOLA post Katrina, but then she didn't like MIT and transferred to Georgia Tech.

Back to football. Go Cocks, my alma mater for my second masters degree (in computer science)!

Is it just me or does MTSU look like they have been injected with cancer? I think we might have better chances with putting a bunch of zombies out there.

MTSU ended up losing 24-17 to Minnesota, if Pitt does not pull through for us both we are going to end up starting out 1-2. Luckily they tied the game at the end of regulation. Hope they van pull it out since we both went with them. I see Lane Kiffin and USC are playing Hawaii. Kiffin sucks. Never cared for him last year. And USC isn't bowl elligible for 2 years due to some kind of violations.

 

[Lady D]

Well, Pitt didn't pull it out, so again, I am starting off on the wrong foot is this 3 years in a row now? At least 2 years, have to gain ground Saturday for me to not finish in the negative in week one. Tonight's games sucked.

I am not happy with pitt losing along with MTSU. They both had equal chances to win their games & couldn't do it. NOTE TO SELF: Do not pick pitt or mtsu again.

U won't be always able to go against Pitt and MTSU, MTSU pulled some upsets last year. And the first time you go against either one they will win.
