Prime Rib Takes Center Stage At This Louisiana Sunday Brunch Buffet

A carving station serving prime rib sits right in the middle of a Sunday brunch buffet. That alone got my attention. The same spread also offers buttermilk waffles, crawfish fettuccine, and grillades. I like how breakfast and Sunday supper share one long table here. Nobody has to pick a lane.

Tulane athletic director David Harris posts critical statement after a lopsided loss to Tulsa

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tulane athletic director David Harris was “embarrassed” by what he called an “alarming” 50-point loss to Tulsa on homecoming weekend, he said in a message posted on the university's athletic website Saturday night. The performance “by our football program was unacceptable, and far below the standard that we have come to expect in recent years,” Harris' statement said. “I understand the frustration and disappointment that our supporters feel. I am embarrassed by what transpired on the field in front of our student-athletes’ families, alumni, fans and the entire Tulane community.” Harris, in his third season at Tulane, hired coach Will Hall last offseason after Jon Sumrall accepted the coaching job at Florida. The 60-10 loss to Tulsa dropped Tulane to 4-5 overall and 2-3 in the American Conference, one season after the Green Wave were one of two teams from non-power conferences to be included in the College Football Playoff. “We've played better than this,” Hall said. “It's definitely fixable. We've got to fix it and it starts with me.” Hall did not indicate whether he was considering any staff changes. “Right now, I'm focused on taking this team and playing much, much better in seven
