Nattering Nabobs of Negativism

I didn't even check who wrote it....now it makes sense.

Of course he's an optimist - he lives in Arizona and isn't enduring his 212th snowstorm of the year.

Now I really hate him.

Quite an assumption - mayve his 500th Snowstorm?? Snow falls for Hartford and one of Arizonas laarger cities;

I just loves me that Atlantic 12. Woohoo! I just can't wait for Tulane.

Enough about Tulane. Yes they aren't very good at football. But we sound a lot like the jerks at FSU and elsewhere who denigrate the UConn football program. They are raising money quickly to build a new stadium on campus, opening in 2014. Probably will be a fun place to play. They have a fairly new coach. They are building new practice and training facilities. They are in a much better recruiting location than UConn. It is an excellent university, with much to be proud of. If we beat them like a drum for the next few years, that's fine, we need the wins. UConn is hardly a paragon of football excellence that can afford to look down on others.

I'm sorry...I won't let it happen again.

Does anyone remember the Metro conference in the mid-to-late 70's? Louisville, Cinncinati, St. Louis, Georgia Tech (between their SEC and ACC days), etc. and Tulane. Granted Tulane was at the bottom of the pack, but it was a damn good basketball conference.

I had to look it up. Memphis was the other charter member. Added later were Florida State, Virginia Tech, Southern Mississippi, and South Carolina.

Wahhhhh - you live in New England where it snows when it's cold. I love people that complain about the weather, yet you are the one who decides where you live.

You are right, going forward everyone can and should choose where they live solely based on climate. Since I assume you already knew this get some bunkbeds & cots cuz its going to be super crowded at your house. Not Arizona but Hawaii right?

Not you really...but everyone, every day Tulane this and Tulane that. As if there is a single football program in the league that can claim some kind of elite status. On the basketball side of things, we have that. But otherwise Tulane has as much chance to be decent in football five years from now as most of the rest of the league, and is a much, much better university than everybody but UConn and SMU.
