With the graduation of 2009 Conference USA Honorable Mention selection Andre Anderson, the Tulane football team finds itself in the unfamiliar position of lacking a clear-cut starting tailback.

It is considered nearly impossible to win back-to-back championships in today’s parity-ridden NFL. In the 2010 season, the New Orleans Saints are looking to test that theory.
Since 2000, only one team has managed to pull off this tricky feat. The 2003-2004 New England Patriots took advantage of a weak division and numerous lucky breaks in the […]

Sept. 2 vs. Southeastern Louisiana
The season opener is much kinder than last year’s opening games against Tulsa and Brigham Young, so expect the Green Wave to open the game aggressively against their only FCS (formerly Division I-AA) opponent of the year. Anything short of a multiple-touchdown victory would be a lackluster, if not disappointing, start for Tulane.
Our […]

For the New Orleans Hornets, the 2010 offseason was probably more dramatic than anyone in the organization would have hoped for or anticipated. After a last year’s disappointing 37-45 record, former All-NBA First Team point guard Chris Paul reportedly informed team officials that he wanted to be traded.

Tulane Football Head Coach Bob Toledo distinctly remembers his first impressions of senior center Andrew Nierman, but it wasn’t a freshman All-American or a team captain he saw standing in front of him when Nierman arrived at Tulane four years ago.
“I remember he was a short guy, and I knew that he was a strong guy,” […]

At first glance, it might appear that the Green Wave has some serious reloading to do this season since they only return two seniors and one junior. With the loss of several talented Serbian players due to transfer and All-American Rachel Lindelow to graduation, Tulane fans have reason to expect the team will experience some […]
