Beautiful Day in NOLA

One of the best things about New Orleans is the great weather. Anytime I can get warm weather, I’ll take it. Now I do like seeing seasonal changes throughout the year but its extremely nice not practicing out in the cold. Today it is a cool 70 degrees and makes for a pretty nice day. Fortunately I had practiced today so I was not confined to my room studying all day. Finals week is always a hectic time for college students though I have a good schedule this week. My last exam is on Saturday then I’m heading back to Fort Worth. After the break we have are first outdoor meet in March so until then training everyday to get better. Days like these allow you to do anything you want and combine the weather with New Orleans culture; it makes for something unique.

Another tough loss

Man oh man its tough to be a Cowboys fan these days. I was able to watch the game since it was on NBC and it was rough. First Demarco Murray left the game with a ankle injury and then they give up a 12 point lead in the end of the fourth quarter. Cowboys missed another game winning field goal for the second straight week. However, there is a small consolation that the Tebow and the Broncos won again. I'm not a huge fan for how the media covers the Tebow thing way too much, but I am a big fan of the guy. I love his style because its refreshing and I hope they make a run if they get into the playoffs. Here at Tulane its finals week and I have two more. One on Thursday and another one on Saturday, I feel pretty good about them and I've had a pretty good semester. Training has gone well and looking forward to keep that momentum into the Christmas break. I'm heading back to Fort Worth on Saturday so I'll get in the day after my Grandpa's birthday. Tulane Basketball is also off to a great start having only lost one game and their next game is at Syracuse. During the break I'll finish my application to UT at Austin for my masters in Sports Management. Also side note on the Rangers, hate to see C.J. go wish he could've stayed in Texas but he's in a pretty good spot in LA.

Big Day for Tulane

Today Tulane announced its plans for an on-campus football stadium. Its going to hold 30,000 fans and create a much needed home field for the Tulane football. Two days ago Tulane named Curtis Johnson its new head coach who recently was the Saints' Wide Receivers Coach. It seems to be a great fit and has everybody excited. If there is one thing that I wish I had during my time as a Tulane student I would most definitely say an on-campus stadium. It is not only great news for Tulane but also for the city of New Orleans. The new stadium will add a great dynamic to Tulane as well as New Orleans. More students can develop a passion for their university and New Orleans schools can also use the new venue. However, I do have one nag any promotional tool for the stadium needs to get rid of the color lime green. Lime green is not intimidating, at least the last time I checked. This is a exciting time for Tulane and hopefully a catalyst of support for Tulane athletics. I recommend visiting tulanestadium.com to read more about it especially the history behind the whole process.
