cranium Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Sounds like Tulane needs to take the Minn. and SMU route and move out of the big stadium to something on campus. Unfortunately, with the current N.O. situation, that would have to be a low. low priority. I'd love a southern academic (non-state school) conference - Tulane, Vandy, Rice, Emory, Duke, and a few others, at least for football. But, obviously the big conference money is too much for schools to give up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAVALIER Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 That's a really good idea.....there was some talk of building a smaller stadium uptown near the river that would seat about 40,000....but that was before the K whore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good place for a "campus" stadium....since there is absolutely no room for a stadium on campus. Well no room for a D-1 Stadium anyways.

powersurge Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Yeah state flag, and the pelican is featured in a carving near the ceiling of McAlister Auditorium.And......Riptide is a pelican.I'm still missing the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that there would be much support for the construction of a football stadium in that area at this point in time. They might have to wait a few years, and maybe by then the program prestige will be high enough where they could land a nice stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailgating is great in City Park. It is still a little ways from campus, but I am sure the neighborhood would embrace the team and fill up the stadium every Saturday. Once the stadium starts filling up every week, the students will want in. TU just needs to get out of the dome. The only benefit I could see is recruiting to play in that stadium, but it obviously isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Looks like I'm going to Wilson after class to see if they have the shirts in yet, if not the jerseys.I like the pelican logo personally. It has the ornate "french" aesthetic to it. I don't know if I'm going to the game or not, architecture studio plans on kicking my ass this weekend.

Spearhead Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 There was a controversy about these jerseys from the Tulane side. Seems, initially, Nike was only providing the specials for LSU while the Greenies were going to wear their usual shirts even though both teams are sponsored by Nike. The TU people pitched a fit and now Nike has a special jersey for the Wave as well.Tulane will wear the limited-edition jerseys for all road games for the remainder of this season as a show of support for the City of New Orleans and continued Katrina Relief. They will auction them off at the end of the season.That said, ROLL WAVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 On a related note, there's been an abnormal amount of uni talk on the LSU fan sites this week, and as a result somebody came up with this:LSU has never worn all white, and I'm not sure that I care for it, but in this era of alternates I guess it's almost inevitable.

Mings Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Our unis are pretty much the same. The shoulder numbers have been replaced with the Pelican logo.They still look damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 White helmets and white pants just don't look right on LSU. It's almost like watching the Yankees wearing piping instead of pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 And now everyone here knows why Tulane students don't go to games......GEAUX TIGERS.....Yeah, they actually go to school to learn. Not sure what the 30k+ do in Baton Rouge, though...As for Tulane and City Park, they would be better off demolishing Gormley and and build a new Gormley Stadium. It's structurally sound, but I'd much prefer Tulane play in a real College stadium, not in a repainted high school stadium. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

BlueSky Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 LSU has never worn all white, and I'm not sure that I care for it, but in this era of alternates I guess it's almost inevitable.I like all white sets for the most part. Monochromes (in color I mean) have been "in" the last few years but this season, all-white seems to be the "new" monochrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
