The LSU wants scud missiles dropped on us bowl.

The "LOOK AT ME I'M RELEVANT!" Bowl

so tulane gets to sec schools in the dome in 2010. not too bad, at least ole miss didnt get roped in to a ten year SOS series with them. Worst move ever by skip bertman

I'd like to play someone like Oregon year in and year out. Just because.

I wonder if the dome will be more green or red and blue?

Doesn't LSU receive half of the gate revenue when they play in the Dome?

So what's the OOC schedule for those 2 years?

---

UAB, Memphis, SLU, and TBD in '09.
Fresno St., Tulane, Jax St, TBD in '10.
Sou. Illinois, Fresno St, Tulane, and TBD in '11.

We were going to play GA Tech but that got moved to later in the decade.

neworleans.com: Tulane announces four-game football series with Ole Miss (2/12/09)

9/11/10: Ole Miss at Tulane
9/22/12: Tulane at Ole Miss
?/??/16: Ole Miss at Tulane
?/??/17: Tulane at Ole Miss

- One of oldest rivalries for both schools, the Green Wave and Rebels will play each other for the first time in nine years for the 70th edition in 2010.

- Tulane and Ole Miss first met in 1893, which marked the first year of hosting a varsity football program for both schools. The Rebels won the inaugural meeting, 12-4, and hold a 41-28 advantage in the all-time series.

- The last meeting between the two teams took place at Oxford during the 2000 season opener for the Green Wave.

- "Ole Miss is an outstanding team from the Southeastern Conference that we have added to our future schedules," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "They are one of our oldest rivals and we look forward to playing them in the coming years. I believe Houston Nutt has done a fantastic job since taking over the program."

- Tulane and Ole Miss were common opponents for much of the 20th century and were a part of three different conferences, including the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (Tulane- 1896-1921/Ole Miss- 1899-1921), which was one of the first collegiate athletic conferences formed in the United States, the Southern Conference (1922-32) and finally both schools were founding members of the Southeastern Conference in 1933.

- The series between the two schools in New Orleans is tied, 25-25, and the Rebels will make their first appearance in the Crescent City since 1997.

- The Rebels lead the series in Oxford, 12-2, and also hold a 4-1 advantage in games played in Jackson, Miss.

Wow...way to step it up a notch

We play home and homes with Texas and Clemson 2012-2016 plus GA Tech after... we are still are trying to fill our TBD list for '09 and '10 with TCU (top 25 team) being a strong possibility.

I don't see why you would want to play a tougher OOC schedule than that...

Thought we were talking '10 & '11?

Yeah but I don't see the point of playing a killer OOC schedule when we have to play 8 SEC games. I don't think TCU, UAB, Memphis, and SLU is ridiculously easy. 2 of those teams were bowl teams last year and 1 is on the road.

Speaking of OOC... Arkansas schedule is Missouri State, TAMU (in Arlington), Eastern Michigan, and Troy... that could be weaker than our scheudle next year.

What's up with playing @ LA Monroe in '10? How did that happen?
