Coming off of a four game winning streak, Tulane will pack its bags for a trip to Florida Atlantic University with the hope of spoiling their Homecoming game.

Bulletin board material of the week? Tulane is a 4-point underdog to the 2-6 Florida Atlantic. Never fear. In the six wins this season thus far, the Green Wave has played as the dog 5 out of 6 times. The lone exception? The folks out in Vegas did have faith in the Wave to beat the subdivision Jackson State.

Here's the link roundup. Catch up on your Green Wave.
---

1. CBS Sports - Tulane is up to 46th in the latest BCS standings, making the Green Wave the highest performing team in C-USA thus far. If you put any value in that, both Rice and ECU are almost equally ranked going into Week 10.

2. The Advocate - The ongoing debate over the Tulane Legislative Scholarship program has now reached Ben Weiner Drive. The Advocate alleges that the baseball team, in particular, has feasted on these scholarships given by legislators across Louisiana.

3. ESPN College Football - ESPN continues to place Tulane in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against UL-Lafayette. While worse snubs have happened, it seems unlikely that Tulane will crumble with FAU, UT-SA, and UTEP left on the schedule. The New Orleans Bowl is the lowest ranked bowl that C-USA currently is tied to.

4. USA Today Sports - In their re-rank of college football, they have elevated Tulane to 40th in the nation. The team was originally predicted to finish 109th on the year.

5. USA Today Sports - A second USA Today piece highlights Tulane and Duke as the "doormat" programs finally taking revenge on college football in 2013. Another nice profile for the squad.

6. Here's a fan video of the celebration after the Tulsa victory. I don't know that the sheer number of fans really reflect the team's progress yet, but the passion definitely seems to be picking up.


It's Monday. Tulane is working to pack the dome this weekend when Tulsa heads to New Orleans to try to dampen this 2013 campaign.

Catch up on the Tulane news with our link roundup.

1. CBS Sports: Curtis Johnson was on CBS Sports' "Inside College Football." Coach CJ talked about keeping the team fresh and giving them a bye week after the triple overtime thriller with ECU.

2. Reuters Team Report - A breakdown of Conference USA puts Tulane, Rice, and ECU as the only three real threats for the conference championship. Interesting breakdown from top-to-bottom.

3. Times-Picayune - The final price tag for Yulman Stadium will be $73 million, according to AD Rick Dickson. The stadium is set for its 2014 opening.

4. Times-Picayune - Good Tammy Nunez piece providing the history of the CJ era as the team rebounded from the Bob Toledo disaster.

5. USA Today - Tulane is the "Most Surprising Team" of 2013, according to USA Today sports.

Here's your weekend link roundup of Green Wave stories. Since last week...

1. Ed Conroy gets another addition to next year's freshman class. LA Times reports that Josh Hearlihy, a Harvard-Westlake product, will be taking his talent to New Orleans. He's 6'7" and formerly was headed to play for Utah. Here's the full story on JH.

2. Yulman Stadium, the new on-campus football facility, is on its way to 2014 completion, according to the Times Pic. Pretty aggressive construction schedule, all things considered. Couple of interesting quotes on the new stadium as a recruiting tool.

3. Tulane QB Ryan Griffin made the front page of NFL.com. See that here. In a story about the "diamonds in the rough" of this year's draft class, they cite Griffin as a talented passer who could make waves in his NFL future.

4. Roll Bama Roll announces that former Tulane guard Ricky Tarrant is officially signed to the Crimson Tide. So it goes. That's all I have to say there.

5. Here's Peter Woullard's Instagram announcing his decision to play football for the Green Wave. Woo social media. Full story on the St. Augustine recruit here.

Basketball season is over, and the 2013 baseball campaign continues on... So mostly Tulane made headlines for football news this past week. Here is a link roundup.

1. Tulane might be sporting a new helmet look, according to SB Nation. Players showed off 7 new potential helmet designs with a few new logo schemes for the football team.

2. From NOLA.com, the Tulane matchup against new conference foe Louisiana Tech will be moved to a Thursday night (Sep. 12) for a national TV broadcast.

3. Tammy Nunez reports that ex-Tulane guard Ricky Tarrant is making his anticipated visit to Alabama this weekend. The CUSA second-team guard confirmed that report via Twitter.

4. Former Tulane QB merited some attention after his Tulane pro day, held at the Saints practice facility, the Hullabaloo reports. CB Travis Smith laid it down, as well.

That's all for now. Follow Fear the Wave on Twitter.
