False, Les Miles knows that Tulane is a sleeping giant. He knows we are the only threat to LSU in Louisiana. He also knows we are just as big time as they are. Les miles is just sayin what everybody else is thinking.

If being lame means landing 3* recruits Ohio State and Michigan pass on, consider us lame.

After SDSU went 2-10 in 2008, thereby having the first double-digit loss season in school history, I changed my moniker to SleepingMidgetsFan for 2009. At the same time, I pledged that if we lost 10 games in a season again, I was going to change it to HibernatingMidgetsFan.
I note that Tulane coincidentally also went 2-10 in 2008. However, contrary to SDSU, which has since played in six bowl games, Tulane has had not just one more 2-10 season, but a 2-11 season. So had I been a Tulane supporter, I'm not sure what I would be calling myself now. Probably ComatoseMidgetsFan.

We had a little storm along with the worst president/AD combo in the nation over the last decade.
I don't know what it would take to get a sniff at the B12/ACC but things have changed dramatically over the past few years. About $150mm in new investments, two NFL owners on the board, new athletic friendly president, new AD and two solid coaches hired for FBall/Bball.

Oh I will. If you're going to lay back and let the B10 use you I'd hope you're doing better than 3*s. Is no one going to Temple camps? Bootstraps, use em.

Sleeping - one of the positives about being a Tulane fan is that we get to drown our sorrows in some pretty fantastic places.....I'd bet the same is for you guys, I love San Diego......

Lol you mad? Did you just become a temple fan this year? What I mean is going 0-12 is pretty bad but getting kicked out of a conference for being a consistently terrible team no one cares about is worse. There's a conversation starter.
