Attended Tulane baseball practice this morning. In an interview head coach Rick Jones notes that in 2004, the Wave played poorly in the Conference USA tournament (two lopsided losses) and then went to Ole Miss and won the Oxford Regional.
Jones said, "Every year there's documentation of teams that may not have played great down the stretch and got in the NCAA tournament and turned it on and got it going again. We did it in oh four and Oregon State won a national championship and was very close to not getting in.."

Tulane announced its 2008 Football schedule today. 5 of 6 home games will kick off at 2 pm. Part of the reason why Tulane moved back to the afternoon is for Cox Sports TV. They will air the UL-Monroe and Army home games live. Also the SMU game September 25th has been moved to Thursday night for CBS' College Sports Network. The homecoming game against Army will be played at Tad Gormley Stadium.
