Tulane vs. Florida: Gasparilla Bowl Open Thread

Tulane vs. Florida: Gasparilla Bowl Open Thread

New Orleans’ own Tulane Green Wave face the Florida Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl. Join us here for the game!

Today, the Tulane Green Wave (9-4) face the Florida Gators (7-5) in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. Tulane is certainly disappointed by losing a second-consecutive AAC Championship Game, costing them an opportunity to land in the top 25, but a chance to earn one more win to end the season remains. A win today, while not particularly prestigious, would certainly feel good going into a new year of Tulane football in New Orleans.

How Darren Rizzi compares to previous Saints’ interim head coaches

How Darren Rizzi compares to previous Saints’ interim head coaches

It might be better than you think.

Ernie Hefferle. Wade Phillips. Rick Venturi. What do those names have in common? They’re all the previous interim head coaches of the New Orleans Saints.

None of them were able to get the job for a full season, and interim head coach Darren Rizzi might soon be joining the group. But, he’s already managed to set himself apart from the interim coaches of the Saints past.

It might not seem like much, especially with how this season has felt, but winning is the main thing that has set him apart from the others....

Saints Draft Position after Week 15: Third-Round Edition

Saints Draft Position after Week 15: Third-Round Edition

Who can the Saints select at their two 3rd-round picks?

In week 14, the New Orleans Saints came close to getting an upset win against the Washington Commanders. The theme of this season has been even if the Saints lose, their draft position has little to no movement. This was the case after week 14, and the Saints are still projected to select at pick 10 of the NFL Draft.

Two weeks ago, I looked at potential selections the Saints could make in the second round. This week, I wanted to look at who the Saints can select with their...

Our offense vs their defense: Green Bay Packers

Can Spencer Rattler play like he did in relief last week?

The New Orleans Saints will travel to Green Bay to face the Green Bay Packers this Monday night in Lambeau Field.

The Saints offense was very stale early in the game last week, but once Spencer Rattler entered, he got the ball rolling. He completed just under 50% of his passes, but he threw for 135 yards and a touchdown while leading four consecutive scoring drives, including the one that nearly won them the game. This week, he’ll get a Packers defense that has likely been preparing for him...

NFL Picks Week 16: Packing The Sleigh

The NFL playoff picture is coming into focus, and we only have three more weeks to go. Let’s take a look at all of the action in Week 16!

The New Orleans Saints face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau on Monday Night Football. Snow showers and temperatures in the low twenties are forcasted in Green Bay for gametime, making Lambeau resemble the North Pole this holiday season. Santa Claus is packing his sleigh with gifts for many teams leading up to Christmas, and although the Saints’ tree seems quite bare this year, hopefully Saint Nick has the gift of...
