Since Unified Commencement began with Scott Cowen�s first year as president, Tulane has attracted mediocre keynote speakers. In fact, calling them mediocre is generous at best. Attracting big name speakers to Tulane University is extremely difficult partly because we make it that way.
Tulane will not pay for a commencement speaker. Gibson Hall bureaucrats think that most […]

He confidently strode to the plate to get in his practice swings. He approached the plate from the right side and got into his stance.
One quick and powerful swing later, Barket walloped the ball far over the right field fence. If this is any glimmer of what fans will see from Barket in the 2005 season, […]

Wave is still in contention to reach a bowl game.
The team needs to win the remainder of its games starting with
this weekend’s matchup against Conference USA opponent Army.
Army is 2-7 on the season and has lost two in a row after
posting two wins in consecutive weeks against Cincinnati […]

Earlier this year when Army, Tulane’s opponent tomorrow,
captured its first win in over two years, there was reason for
excitement. They snapped the longest losing streak in Division I-A
history, 19 losses in a row. That’s a lot, even to a Tulane fan.
People may joke that we have a terrible team, […]

that I’ve had one. After some soul-searching, I’ve
decided that I agree with Republican ideology. Their support of
less taxes, states’ rights and smaller […]
