Dr. Rosenrosen 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Good morning. I know Auburn has far more pressing matters than lowly Tulane (e.g. SEC, BCS), but I have come here to answer any questions you may have about our football program, university, etc. A few notes: --Our QB is LSU-transfer Lester Ricard. He has tremendous size and arm strength. Against CUSA opponents, he can put up huge passing numbers. --We desperately need this game for the revenue. Please make that $600K check payable to Tulane University upon our exit Saturday. --Tulane was once a football power, but the university decided to de-emphasize the sport in the 1950s. To this day, we have not recovered. --I don't see TU covering the 32-point spread. We can't run the ball against decent defenses and our special teams are awful. Defensively, we're young at LB and undersized up front. --I enjoy watching Auburn football. The speed of your athletes (especially on defense) is amazing to watch. And the atmosphere is what college football is all about. If you have any questions, comments, etc. please fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rosenrosen 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 How many fans will be making the trip, and are you comming? I'd say around 2000. I'm on the fence right now, but I may decide to leave tomorrow afternoon for the Plains. I've seen numerous thrashings of my beloved Greenies on the road, but I've never been to Jordan-Hare. The alcohol and Auburn coeds could be enough to convince me to leave tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lovely place to watch a ballgame and our fans are known for friendliness and hospitality. BTW, I root for the Green Wave when they are not playing Auburn. My Mom got her Ph.D. at Tulane and as a kid I lived on Tulane's campus for a year (in a terrible high rise apt. building whose name you might recognize-Rosen House). What is the feeling of the Tulane community these days of all the cuts made after Katrina (not only athletic programs, but lots of engineering programs as well, I have heard)?

Look on the bright side - you can charge the whole trip (and a steak sandwich, and a steak sandwich) to Mr. Underhill's American Express Card.

Dr. Rosenrosen 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 You guys are going to beat us like a rented mule. If I decide to head out for Auburn tomorrow, I hope you guys take it easy on us around campus and in the stands. I've got a bottle of rum ready for the trip. The engineering cuts were very controversial, but Tulane has decided to sink more money into the law/medical schools and the undergrad (non-engineering). TU is a strong academic school, but we were never a powerhouse in engineering. I wish we would sink more money into football. Yes, Rosen House was/is a dump. They are tearing it down as we speak.

DCWarEagle 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 What happened to Tulane's student body after the hurricane? Do you know what percent of students returned? Were applications down this year? Rosen House was kind of a dump, but that still makes me a little sad to hear that they are tearing it down. Do you know what is going in its place? Thanks. BTW, I hope our team shows yours no mercy, but I really do think if you come to the game you will find the fans very friendly. Obviously Auburn doesn't have the same amount of stuff to do off-campus as N.O. (huge understatement there), but you would be hard-pressed to find a better setting for college football. Beautiful, historic campus, energetic but friendly fans, pretty co-eds, etc. If you come, be sure to get inside the stadium early enough to watch our Eagle fly, it is one of the best traditions in college football. And after the game, if Auburn wins go check out Toomer's Corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rosenrosen 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 I've always thought of Auburn as one the top settings in all of college fb. It will make the beating more tolerable. I've heard all about the coeds . BTW, 86% of TU students returned after Katrina (94% of freshman returned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
