Q&A with Tammy Nunez of the New Orleans The Times-Picayune

[Harry]

We are fortunate today to welcome Tammy Nunez of The Times-Picayune to the blog to provide a little insight on Tulane in advance of UNT’s Conference USA opener against the Green Wave down in New Orleans.

You can find Tammy’s work on the Times-Picayune website, which is the place to go this week for all your Tulane news.

Here’s her take on the UNT-Tulane matchup:

1. How much did Saturday’s win over Louisiana-Monroe mean to Tulane, especially following a win over Louisiana Tech?

The ULM victory was key particularly in light of losing to the Warhawks 63-10 the season before and right on the heels of the 52-17 thrashing Tulane took at Syracuse in the previous week. It showed that Tulane could make corrections on special teams and in pass protection and win on the road. It also kept Tulane’s bowl hopes viable. The Green Wave hasn’t been to a bowl game since 2002. Three wins before October showed a program on track for a bowl game.

A very Lauren Pryzbyl moment...

Speaking of a woman who should NEVER be allowed to speak about sports.

Funny, somebody (maybe a commentator on one of our games?) said we had the longest bowl drought of any current team. I thought it sounded wrong. Obviously, it was. They've been without a bowl game for 2 years longer than we have...

High-scoring affair? I don't see it. Otherwise, I imagine it will be a close game if for no other reason than every other game we play seems to be.
