People that already have their tickets, what section(s) will the bulk of our fans be? Also, what's the pre game plan? Tailgate at stadium or on Bourbon?

there will be a MC tailgate in the Superdome's parking garage. Our fans are usually around the 20 yard line whereever the band is set up. You'll have your pick of seats. I would suggest equidistant between the beer vendors and the bathroom.

Regarding the game.

Tulane has a good defense. Behind TCU and Navy, the best we will see. Tulane and UTEP are the 3-4th best pass efficiency defenses we face with Tulane allowing the 14th fewest passing yards in the country.

Their offense is below average. When teams have scored 27 points or better they have won vs. Tulane.

UTEP turned the ball over 3 times to 1 for Tulane in the Tulane win there. We can not follow that script.

Oh jeez. I completely forgot about the beer vendors. This is going to be disastrous weekend.

MC has an official tailgate party going from 12-2pm

Tulane University (officially The Tulane University of Louisiana or simply TU) is a private, nonsectarian research university located in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

Founded as a public medical college in 1834, the school grew into a comprehensive university in 1847 and was eventually privatized under the endowments of Paul Tulane and Josephine Louise Newcomb in 1884.

Tulane is a member of the Association of American Universities and the colloquial Southern Ivy League...

Efforts to create a southern Ivy League athletic conference:

The effort to create a Southern athletic conference originated during the 1950s. Harvie Branscomb, then-chancellor at Vanderbilt University, originally attempted to establish a rivalry between Vanderbilt and traditional Ivy League schools to foster relationships with academically-oriented schools. The school followed through on this effort and played a game against Yale in October 1948. However, after Vanderbilt shut out the Bulldogs, 35-0, Yale said they no longer wanted to play Vanderbilt. This caused Branscomb to call a meeting with the presidents of other Southern private universities in the late 1950s — Southern Methodist University (SMU), Rice University, Duke University, and Tulane University — where Branscomb suggested they try to establish a new sports conference where small, academically inclined private schools could compete.

In the early 1960s, the idea for the "Magnolia Conference" gained popularity. In 1963, Tulane was frustrated by its enabling competition notwithstanding within the Southeastern Conference schools since many of the schools had lower academic expectations for football and they considered withdrawing from the SEC to compete with schools with similar aims. According to the Rice Thresher, the era was a time when "the academic disparity between show-me-the-money schools and the schools less inclined to compromise academics was just beginning to become more evident.

"The "Magnolia Conference" had the vision to "maintain high-end Division I budgets and schedules, while avoiding some of the crasser extremes of the big business of college sports".

However, the "Southern Ivy League" never got off the ground. Duke did not want to give up its rivalry with the University of North Carolina, and SMU and Rice were not willing to give up their share of the Cotton Bowl Classic income!

Tulane's got a lot more size on Offense-especially on the Offensive Line than I would have imagined:

But who knows how accurate that is.

this is from SID's weekly press release which are usually correct except for pending injury issues

Except all of Phil Bennet's heights and weights, which you documented often

DT Justin Adams is listed as 5'11 276 in the above linked release. Another article had him at 5'11 255. Their own 'Spike'
