At 0-4, Army is the worst team in the division and Tulane should have beat them handily.  It didn\u2019t happen that way though.  Tulane suffered a demoralizing and embarrassing defeat, 44-13.  The game was quite sickening and I don\u2019t especially care to document it in detail.  The pregame festivities were by all accounts very successful, however.Later this evening, I went out to a dance studio on Magazine Street where a swing dancing party was taking place.  A good handful of people from Tulane went. I called a cab at eight, well in advance of the nine o\u2019clock start time but nobody ever showed up.  Jeff gave me a ride out there instead.  There looked to be about 50 people at the event, about eight of which were familiar faces.  There was a beginner swing lesson at the start which I was a bit late to.  After that there was a DJ until midnight.  I didn\u2019t dance much after the lesson but Caroline and Ireal endured my ineptitude a few times.  I also got to talk with a few people new to the ballroom dancing club.  Overall it was a lot of fun although it would have been ever better if the studio was air-conditioned.  Afterward, I called Jeff who was still out and about.  I had to wait a little while but I got a free ride home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mom, Dad and I went out to Tad Gormley stadium this afternoon for Tulane\u2019s homecoming game versus Army.
