Tyjae Spears is gone so I'm not sure who Tulane has to replace his electric playmaking abilities with. Tulane has a season like that once every 25 years or so and usually the year after they revert to sucking again. I do think Fritz is a good coach though so maybe he can keep them from absolutely flatlining again, but I don't expect them to repeat what they did last year.

As far as the rivalry, that ship has sailed long ago. Only boomers care about that anymore. I was in school when we had that attempted 10 year deal that stopped midway through. No one cared about any of the games except maybe the 07 one when they played in the dome and had special Katrina uniforms. There's no hate there anymore.

Maybe if Tulane stayed in the SEC and didn't leave to play a national schedule so they could chase the eastern seaboard Jew money it would still have meaning today, but alas. It's basically the equivalent of the Texas/Rice rivalry now.

Thanks for the insight. Always liked LSU and their fan base. Hope you repeat as SEC West champs and get revenge on Georgia.

BTW - Why does Georgia get to play a home game for the SEC Championship?
