We should all go to the tailgate party before the ECU game, then leave before the game starts. We've always wanted to be like SMU. That would be our chance. I'm not sure that would make an impact. Morale is already very low,

Kids haven't quit, they just have no fire... Hard to keep playing lights out when the staff has let you down this bad.

And the ESPN+ feed has mercifully ended for no reason on HULU. Thank you for intervening on my behalf God!

Here’s how bad we are…

We are losing to 1-win UAB by the same margin as Maine lost to OU today.

WOW… just wow.

Or as Wilson said last week on X… “Boycott!!!”
Comparative scores rarely make sense. UTSA just beat Memphis, the week after losing to us.

Carpenter looks like he could be a good QB. I wonder if he will stay with a new staff in place?

I tried to tell you guys. Rick Dickson is an excellent fund raiser but a terrible judge of coaching talent. He put Tulane back 10 years in terms of on the field success.

Yes you are the smartest guy around and know the future with precision. If only we would just listen to you our lives would be perfect.

Thank you for being you. Special you.

Losing to a 1-6 team by 38 points shouldn’t be acceptable for any TU football coach. Wilson has been blown out 4 times this season by 30+ points and 4 times last season. That’s all-time records for a TU football coach in consecutive seasons.

That’s 8 blow out, embarrassing losses in 21 games as head coach! How many more times do we need to see these horrible performances to realize he’s not the answer.

It's really apparent that Wilson is not a fit here. I don't think he's happy here and would probably accept a buyout. But he may want more than TU is willing to pay.

You think it's fun to say "I told you so" when I'm watching people pour gasoline on something I love and light the match in front of me?

All while simultaneously be ridiculed for communicating the controversial but correct assessment, and then being ridiculed further for trying to convince ******** that maybe next time they would be wise to listen to me?

My current attitude:

Rick didn’t make the decision on Wilson.

Unfortunately the persons who make the Coaching hiring decisions at TU are not nearly as knowledgeable about the sport for which they are hiring as are many of the posters on here. Those search committees are still weaker They can find skeletons but don’t know what a RPO is.

I heard quite an evolution in Carson's thinking from Spring to Fall. I think the new AD and staff are having an impact in envisioning what is possible. And that is NOT a criticism of Rick Dickson. Sometimes fresh perspectives and ideas are good.

I’ll be there for both games. It’s like the train wreck that you can’t turn away from.
I was shopping with my wife today during game time. Checked the score before I started our drive home. I literally busted out hysterically laughing when I saw the 59 line for UAB.... like, it wasn't surprising..... it was just so morbidly, ironically, depressing I didn't know what else to do.

He was the AD. Did the search firm push Wilson on us?

It was either Dickson or Carson. No one else would really have the authority to make that sort of decision, and in the case of Dickson, it would be because Carson delegated the trust to Dickson and the search firm.
