At least Tulane is back on campus after almost 40 years of playing at the Superdome.
BTW, Iām old enough to remember the crazy rules of the original Sun Belt Conference that required league menās basketball games to be played at the largest facility available. As such, UNO too played at the Superdome!
Georgia State had to play in the Omni, where the Hawks played.
An Observer writer, maybe Tom Sorenson, wrote a great article about a game when the 49ers played the Panthers there. I believe he counted the crowd.
As late as 1991, Georgia State opted to play a 1 vs 16 game in the Omni at noon rather than at 7:00 PM, thinking more students might wander to the game after their morning classes than alumni coming to downtown Atlanta after work.
So are people finally coming around that we might not be dead last this season? I donāt like predicting anything till we play the games but hopefully we can be middle of the pack at 4-4 or around there.
