Congratulations to the Tulane Green Wave

Post by DS2001 »

It’s been many years since the Green Wave have tasted Football success. They used to be a member of the SEC and were a regular opponent of ours.
They’ve been to hell and back athletically. Hurricane Katrina almost did them in.
But today, in front of 30,000 screaming fans in New Orleans, they got revenge on UCF 45-28 and will get to go to the Cotton Bowl .
I wish it were us, but I’m happy for a fellow “academic” institution.

Willie was a home run hire for them. Met him several times when he was at Sam Houston and always came away very impressed.

I watched a little bit of that game. The announcers were talking about the fact that when Tulane beat Cincinnati the previous week, it was their first win against a ranked opponent since 1984. At least they didn't say who that ranked opponent was in 84. *Sigh* Thirty-eight years later, and it still stings.
