<p>Jerry Springer the Opera - if you don’t think you are going someplace unique ask yourself how many Harvard graduates are the subjects of award winning operas. Any school that gives you Jerry Springer, Dr. Michael DeBakey and Yahoo founder David Filo is no Confederacy of Dunces.</p>

<p>If Tulane is your safety maybe you should rethink. This school is cutting edge and is going to continue reshaping the 21st century.</p>

<p>PS - and we have three QBs in the NFL. When was the last time Yale sent a player to the NFL?</p>

<p>This past year, Nate Lawrie a TE.</p>

<p>Sorry, had to point it out. Yes, Tulane is a much better football school than Yale.</p>

3

<p>Lawrie went to Yale unless <a href=“http://www.nfl.com%5B/url%5D”>www.nfl.com</a> has got it wrong.</p>

<p>Tulane not only has a much better football team than Harvard it has a much SMALLER recruiting budget as well.</p>

<p>Well, I am a well known Tulane honk (since my son attends), but Yale did send Calvin Hill to my beloved Cowboys!!</p>

5

<p>Geez talk about ancient history? How long has it been since Calvin Hill carried a football? It is 30 years since he played for Dallas and when he went to the Redskins (my homeboys) he didn’t like to get hit.</p>

6

<p>Well, since my Cowboys pedigree goes way back to the beginning —. BTW, have you noticed that once these backs are done and washed up they go to Washington? Duanne Thomas anyone. LOL BTW, I am SOOOOOO glad Daniel Synder is your owner!</p>

7

<p>Yeah talk about not liking to get hit Thomas really took the cake. As for Danny Snyder I (and every Redskin fan I know) would gladly trade him for a bucket of warm spit if anybody would make the offer :-)</p>

<p>Wait to next year. 'Skins have got the defense and as soon as the offense starts clicking even a little this team is going to be hell on wheels. The owner may stink but we have the best coach in football - and a Tulane QB!!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>We’ve been waiting for the past three years =P</p>

<p>Spurrier was to set your offense on fire. Now you’re expecting Gibbs and his old-school methods to set it on fire?</p>

<p>Philly still wins that division easily</p>

<p>=)</p>

<p>I’m not sure that Jerry Springer is something to brag about!</p>

10

<p>Jerry Springer?</p>

<p>My opinion of Tulane has just fallen considerably.</p>

11

<p>oops - I better not tell anyone Newt Gingrich (MA '68, PhD '71) is a Greenie too.</p>

<p>Well if you think Jerry is bad imagine my poor alma mater who is stuck with L. Ron Hubbard and J. Edgar Hoover.</p>

<p>I never thought Spurrier would cut it in the NFL.</p>

12

<p>As long as Snyder owns the team things will never change.</p>

13

<p>Except for the revolving door that is the Washington Redskins coaching staff, that is =)</p>

14

<p>Yeah yeah. Next year when they ask you Cowboy fans who your daddi is you will be replying “Joe Gibbs is my Daddy!”</p>

<p>Gibbs is the very best there is and Snyder will be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail if he crosses Gibbs.</p>

15

<p>hmmmm, Gibbs is (almost) the best that WAS.</p>

16

<p>BTW Amused Jerry Springer got his law degree from Northwestern so I guess they will have to go on you blacklist too.</p>

17

<p>Patuxent, in the last 5 years, I am seeing a lot of interest in Tulane, Vanderbilt, and Miami. These are top tier kids who are definitely matches for the ivy league. Many of them are getting very big financial aid packages from these schools and they are biting. And they love it there when they go. It used to be that Emory was a big school in this category, and it still is, but these other colleges are beginning to come up more and more often.</p>

18

<p>Yes I know jami my kid is one of them. I couldn’t take out $80,000 or $100,000 in loans to send him to a top 20 school unless I was prepared to live on SS when I retired. I honestly don’t feel he is being short-changed one cent at Tulane and there is no way in hell that you can convince me that Hartford or Provicence or some frozen hole in upstate NY or NH has anything to offer outside of the class room.</p>

19

<p>My friend’s son is probably going to Tulane over BC. A big decision for him since he lives in an area where EVERYONE aspires to go to BC. But a visit to New Orleans motivated by a nice scholarship offer has really caused a change in heart.</p>

<p>did he receive the dean’s honor or distinguished scholar?</p>
