Did Tulane leave the SEC or get booted?
I see they left… a lot longer ago than I thought…
Talk about a TERRIBLE decision…
Left.
As did GaTech at some point.
You need to understand how bad things had gotten for Tulane. They left in 1965. The last time they had a winning record in SEC was 1950. 12 times in the next 15 years they won 1 or 0 conference games. At least when they became an independent, they had some years where they had good football teams. In 69, i think they went to the Peach Bowl and beat Colorado. In 73 they won 9 games and beat LSU 14-0. Thats the team we beat in the bluebonnet Bowl. Hard to win there. That shows what a great coach Fritz is for having some great teams there.

The Georgia Tech leaving was for a reason. They had great teams and were huge rivals with Alabama. In some early 60s game, Bobby Dodd, the GT coach, accused Bear Bryant and Alabama of deliberately trying to injure his players. Things got so heated that Georgia Tech refused to play them and left the SEC to become a major independent.

I seem to recall they went undefeated with a Bowden also.

Yeah, they sure did. Tommy Bowden was coach and they went 12-0 and beat BYU in the Liberty Bowl, i think. I believe that Tulane team beat Houston…one of Helton’s teams…

That raffle is probably cheaper and more effective at getting students to the game then giving out free t-shirts
Getting students to attend the game is one thing, getting students to stay the entire game is another. I’ve seen several posts on this site about how the student section seems empty after halftime.

At Utah the students would complain about why it isn’t 3 times as much, like at BYU
We get it… Mormons don’t have much to do…
JK to our BYU brethren on here…
It is crazy that they can fill that stadium up with all the dudes having sister wives… it’s hard enough to get one wife to let me go to 6 games a year…

That comment is funny but I still see nothing embarassing about this promotion.

So are you saying they don’t score many points ?
That’s what I am getting from this …

I guess offering free tuition didn’t help Maryland to win.
Illinois 20 Maryland 17
But they did come a lot closer than they usually do.

I’m upset that Maryland is raffling free tuition only because UH didn’t think of it first.
Seriously, student attendance at games has been a bright spot.
Idea: UH should raffle to an alumni a $1M annuity for staying until the end of the game.
Funny how an issue that really is institution-specific like attendance occupies so much of the national discussion. I don’t care one wit about another school’s attendance. It’s really an appendage on the body of social media. How can I malign another school and embarrass them. Then pop-up sites take it and run with it.
