Ahh…we played Louisville only because they had an exit agreement with AAC teams so they could leave the American as part of their Big East- ACC transition.
That’s how they played us at our place.
Also Louisville isn’t a Blue Blood…they were just having a good season when we played them.
What are you TALKING about?? You tried to claim no marquee games. Guess what, you were WRONG!! Louisville was number 4 or 5 in the country and was 9-1 when we played them. That game was on ESPN national TV…
No local promoters to get in the way down there but no telling will a LSU booster appear out of nowhere and pay Tulane to move it once the demand and stuff gets out of hand
But i think the dome will be under construction for field suites
Chris, did you really mean to say that we would not be invited back? After beating OU at NRG, I remember the OU coach said he would not have scheduled us if he had known we were that good. P5’s that play G5’s want easy wins.
That’s not what I said.
I said we have trouble scheduling blue blood schools.
While Louisville was a great game when we played them a)very few view Louisville as a blue blood football program and b) we only scheduled them because they had to as part of their exit agreement from the American/ Big East. They agreed to a home and away series once they were members of the ACC.
And as I stated, the Texas Kickoff scheduled OU and then we added a road game.
Name the other blue bloods we’ve played/ or will play since becoming a member of the AAC?
