Kevin Spain, T-P - Hello everyone and welcome to the Tulane chat. We'll be going live with Times-Picayune reporter Ted Lewis around 1 p.m.
Go ahead and start sending in your questions.

1:01	Kevin Spain, T-P - OK everyone, we're going live with Ted and taking your questions.

1:01	[Comment From Greenwaiver] The baseball team seems to need "timely hitting." So what can they do to get it?

Ted Lewis, T-P - Hello everyone.
Greenwaver, I would think it would be the same way you get to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice. The team finally came through in the final game against Central Florida on Sunday. It was the first come from bheind win after seven innings in about three years. Perhaps that will be a confience builder.

1:03	[Comment From Greener] So, Ted what was the big turnaround for the baseball team last weekend? Did you see something in them that makes you think they've turned a corner?

1:05

Ted Lewis, T-P -

Like I just said, coming from behind on Sunday was signficant, although you've got to remember that Central Florida's pitching was by far the worst ijn the league and that on Friday Tulane scored only two runs, had 12 strikeouts and left 11 or 12. Tonight agianst Southeastern, a team they've already lost to twice, and this weekend agianst No. 23 East Carolina will be more telling.

1:05	[Comment From Charlie Kermit] Give me something good about the football team. Anyone standing out in the spring so far?

1:08

Ted Lewis, T-P - They had a good day of practice.today and injuries have been minimal. Jeremy Williams seems to be completely recovered from knee surgery and is catching everything thrown his way. Alan Mitchell also has been impressive there. The defensive front looks to be a strength, just as it was last year. Today, defensive coordinator Steve Stanard mentioned tackle Cedric Wilson as being particularly impressive. You've got to like what you see out of Alex Lauricella at safety, too. At quarterback Ryan Griffin is getting as many reps as Joe Kemp and Kevin Moore, so that should be an interesting competition over the last couple of weeks.

1:09	[Comment From John coleman] With the sweep by Rice University, where can Rick Jones go with his complaints concerning high tuition and being hindered by NCAA recruiting rules?

1:11

Ted Lewis, T-P -

John, I haven't researched it as closely as I should have but Rice's financial aid situation is apparently somewhat better than Tulane's The new rules may catch up to Rice some day but right now they seem to have been able to deal with them. Just because a school is private doesn't mean all conditions are equal.
