Such a bizarre game - some items

- we crush them in first half, then come out and blow in the second half. Did June change the play calling to use the game as a scrimmage since we were up so much?

- Tulane band....... what? What was with the frisbees? And they sounded quite strange. If you don't have the people to be a TCU/High School band, why not do something different? Very weird.

- Did our band play a single non-rah rah (Peruna, etc) song the entire game? I heard the alumni band playing a few in the 2nd quarter. Our band played very little. Is this the athletic department keeping them from playing much?

- Attendance: Best attended boulevard all year. Would have been nice to see them in the stadium. Better than UCF game, for sure.

- Turner's luxury box. Isn't he on the first level at the northern corner of the main box tower? If so, his shades were pulled shut on the side unusually. I wonder who was in the box that nobody was supposed to see? Big East officials? Bush? SEC officials?

- Darius is the man. Wish we had more QB power to really run his stats up.

- Attendance part deux: Ours was waaaay better than the crowd at the UAB UH game on TV right now. Wow. Memphis level bad.

In terms of the second half I thought the team came out with no energy and looked flat because they figured the game was over. They kicked it up after things started getting tight.

Tulane band was bad. Our band didn't play much cause of homecoming, I think.

Blvd was great. Decent amount of fans at the game over others but really would have liked to see more based on blvd participation.

Turner is on 4 in middle. No drawn shades

I hate to pile on because I just feel kind of sorry for Tulane but the band...WTF? They just walked out on field and started playing. No introduction. It just felt weird. But I do recall that they just started the band up again a few years ago after using recorded music at home games

Had Zach Line not fumbled, that second half could have gone completely different. We will never know.

Blvd is great, but I propose some changes. All free food areas (especially my school -cox) needs to make sure that only student, staff, alumni and REAL friends can have food and beer. Not people who actually are full blown tcu, tulane, ucf people come in the lines and eat. Its ridiculous and my money is going to food in the enemy's belly.

Couldnt agree more, why people cant get their freaking butts in a bench and cheer their team on during homecoming, i just dont get it.

If you are wearing LSU/Bama crap get in your car and drive 800 miles to the destination you should be at otherwise, wear your gay lsu or bama shirt and have an smu jacket or hat on to show some support. Otherwise Ill assume your supporting your baby school tulane.

3rd quarter made me want to jump on the field and punch every player of ours in the face. That game should of ended 69-10... Thank you players and play callers for ruining my fantasy teams.

Anyone who wears gear other than the two teams that are playing should submit to pies in the face.
