What bowl game do you guys want Tulane to play in?
Some of the potential matchups I've seen are terrible (Eastern Michigan in the Frisco Bowl? Oof.), although Tulane-Southern Miss in the Boca Raton Bowl is about as good as the Wave is going to get even though the stadium would be virtually empty.
I have bad memories from my last trip to that stadium, when no one knew where the media parking lot was and I kept getting directed to the wrong spot and told something different by each attendant. Then once the game started, Tulane lost linebackers/special teams coach Barry Lamb to health issues at halftime and the program went downhill from there. Nick Montana and Devin Powell combined to throw interceptions on the Wave's first four possessions of the second half and Tulane, 6-2 at the time, lost four of it last five and was non-competitive when it joined the AAC the following year, exhibiting the worst special teams play I've ever seen.
I've only heard bad things about the stadium in Frisco. Plus, that game takes place on Signing Day, which would create a logistical nightmare. The Boca Raton Bowl is a day before Signing Day. Regardless, Tulane's last recruiting weekend will be difficult to manage and may have to be scrapped.
It's not a sure thing the Advocate will pay for me to go to the bowl game, but I will go regardless of their decision, paying my own way if I have to. (I believe they ultimately will pay for me).
Tulane needs to win the bowl game. The 2013 team should have beaten ULL by double digits but did not get serious until it already was down three touchdowns in the first half. A win would give Tulane its fourth winning record this century.
