Tulane 10/6 12:00 ET Homecoming ESPN2/ESPNU

[Geaux Juan]

The timing of this should be interesting. Being Homecoming, there's usually a parade that begins 4 hours before kickoff, or 8 AM in this case. Also, the tailgate sites open at 8 AM for Noon games. A lot of crisscrossing may be going on. As I said, should be interesting.

Noon games suck! Big time!

Worst possible scenario for Homecoming. I am putting together an alumni event that will not have great turn out due to the timing of the game. I believe they pushed the parade back to a Friday evening one year. We'll have to see how this goes.

The parade will be at 8AM. This is where I feel sorry for the Alumni band. That's usually a 6:00 am practice. Students in the dorms are going to be seriously ticked off.

There are several events on campus that weekend. Hopefully, the timing isn't due to TV (yeah right). Surely, they can push this back to 3:30. This would be ideal as you also don't want a night game.

The Bearcat Bash and Dash (a unique 18.19 km run) is Sunday the 7th at 8 AM. The students in the nearby dorms will not like loud music blaring at 8 AM 2 days in a row.

I think the students are going to be well into "festivities" by 8 AM..........you don't have to worry about them.

[Lobot]

They better be. Percussion is warming up at 5:30am in Sheakley. Lol

The Green Wave are blowing out Memphis in NOLA in 4th quarter, 33-14. Total butt-whipping in 2nd half.

[swilsonsp4]

Make that 40-14. Big chunk plays all over.

Is Memphis that bad or are we in trouble?

It's tough to say... Tulane lost to woeful Wake Forest and UAB... While Memphis has beaten nobody you would recognize. They had a close loss to Navy, but Navy seems to be having a down year. So I'm guessing Memphis is pretty bad... But we also have not faced anyone with a heartbeat yet, so we could very well lose

[Lobot]

I have not seen much of Memphis so far this year but I think it's safe to say they don't have a run defense. Navy ran them down from behind in a rainstorm.

Tulane qb is a big time player. Transfer from Lsu i believe when they got Burrow etc. This will be a dogfight in all likelihood. Have to contain him like we did with Ou guy in 2nd half. At least this will not be our first rodeo this year.

Yeah, but Sunday morning might be a different story

Here's the current stats for Tulane. Looks like 2:1 Run to pass. I feel this feeling it'll be a little like playing Ohio again.
