14 winning seasons in the last 65 years; only 6 seasons over .600 since 1970.

Thank you. But they have potential, I would argue NMSU has more potential since they are the only team in their market. Plus they have more winning seasons recently.

To directly answer your question, the last winning season was 2014. Katrina makes the late 2000s early 2010s sort of a lost time no matter what you tried to do. Before Katrina we had winning seasons in 2002 (Hawaii Bowl), 2000, 1997, and of course 12-0 in 1998. Its not exactly ancient history.

Also, the quoted figures are false. There have been 11 winning seasons since 1970. Its not really much better, but 6 is patently false, and I can't abide falsities about my school. If you are going to troll, at least be accurate about it.

Six seasons over .600 since 1970, not .500. If you're going to call someone a troll make sure you actually understand what is being said.

Missed that. My bad. Saw .500. Not sure what being above .600 has to do with how many winning seasons we had though.

Well I'm to lazy to look up to lanes winning seasons. So if its actually 11 ill take your word for it.

'70, '72, '73, '79, '80, '81, '97, '98, '00, '02, '14.

Tulane goes through these cycles. When we try, we get hot. But we always self-sabatoge or give up. In the 70s through to the early 80s, we were doing very well as an Indy with a mostly SEC/SWC schedule. We tried to get back into the SEC in 81-82. When LSU successfully blocked us, we just sort of gave up entirely, when we could have at least kept the status quo and become the ND of the south. In the 90s/00's we got Sclefo and Rich Rod who led a revolution in D1 football offense. We snubbed Rich Rod because our windbag of a President decided that "anyone can run a spread" and didn't want to pay Rich Rod. When that predictably failed miserably said President even tried to get us to go DIII (alumni and board revolted). And then Katrina happened. 2012 could have been the start of something, but CJ was frankly a disaster of a coach. Amazingly, we had a chance to get Rich Rod back, but the same Prez and AD still wouldn't pay him or give him the resources he needed, and went with a position coach from the NFL instead. 2014 was probably the easiest schedule we ever had, Rich Rod could have gone 12-0 with that schedule. CJ coasted to 7-6 with blind luck.

Hopefully this time is different.

Sure, they could have. They were a well respected team, with a big fanbase, just moved into the brand new Superdome, and had no problem scheduling and beating teams in the SEC/SWC, including LSU twice during that run of 6 winning seasons in 12 years. We had good coaches, and were investing in athletics for the first time since WW2. If they had kept it up, and built on that success, there is no reason why Tulane could have established a niche for itself as an Indy in the south with a SEC scheduling arrangement a la ND. But for whatever reason, Tulane didn't see that. When we couldn't get back into the SEC they just stopped investing in football entirely. No creativity or strategic vision at the upper levels beyond "get back into the SEC."

It's cool. My point was that almost half (5 of 11) of TU's winning seasons since 1970 have been of the one or two games over .500 variety.

I have tremendous respect for Tulane as an academic institution, but there simply is no denying the fact that the Green Wave football program has been extremely weak.

What does it say? You still can't take away our market and academics which is all that really matters anyways. USM fans have no room to talk about anything, you are in an inferior conference playing inferior teams. You went 0-12 just a few years ago. Your program is the worst program in the country right now. You shouldn't even be allowed to be on this board.

Tulane 16 (yes 16) point dogs to the mighty Demon Deacons of Wake Forest

Actually ucf is currently the worst right behind tulane. Seeing as how ucf just went 0-12 and won the bottom 10 championship.

We are not arguing our past failures since the disastrous decisions of 1950 (deemphasis) and 1966 (seceding from the SEC).

We are saying that with a supportive administration (which we APPARENTLY now have and with more than competent coaches (which we APPARENTLY now have) Tulane CAN RISE AGAIN and again become a dominant player in the SEC, the AAC , the ACC, the BIG XII.

With commitment and winning top notch recruits will again want to play in New Orleans and residents of the Gulf South will again support Tulane.

Same could be said about rice and they actually have a real winning history. Doesn't mean it ever will happen though.

Why do you keep saying "again"? When exactly was this Golden Age you keep referring to?

These Houston fans I tell ya. They win one big bowl game and now they think they can destroy Alabama. Your program is no better then ours.

It's not just one bowl game. I hate Houston and I still recognize that they tend to have a lot more winning records than losing records. That can't be said for Tulane.
