I'm not from NOLA, so I never got the hatred. And my SO is from a Tulane family, so I've started halfway pulling for them except when they play LSU.

It's easier to root for a team that's not a threat to you.

Tulane and LSU had a different rivalry a long time ago.

Tulane? Isn't that the highschool that plays their game in the Dome with the hideous uniforms?

I'm a Tulane alum. Loved every minute of my time there; love the school still. Also every bit a Tiger fan on the gridiron

My dad and I were talking about this last night.

The rivalries were so different a long time ago.

For me personally, I don't have a bone to pick with Tulane.

Ask me about Alabama and it's on. I hate them with a freaking passion.

i don't hate them at all. But then again, they have never been relevant during my lifetime.

The loss of hatred towards Tulane is truly a great loss for LSU.

A few years back I took a trip to Tulane to visit a friend and watch UCF play. The game/crowd was boring as hell (61-14 ), but I had a great time otherwise. Beautiful campus and met some good people.

I'm at LSU now for grad school, and I don't think I've even heard anyone mention Tulane except for a classmate who went there. There's hate?

My dad graduated from Tulane on the GI Bill after WW II. No hate here. He's a GW fan and he respects me following the Tigers. It's all good.

It's hard to believe that Tulane was once a member of the SEC. And the fact that they chose to leave and become independent is pretty unbelievable.

They really don't bother me.
I understand the old timers still hating them because that was an intense rivalry at one time.

Tulane is pretty insignificant as a football program, so I guess making general dumb comments about their students and such is all most tiger fans are left with.

As far as an institution, they are kicking arse. The last couple of years they have had something like 5 times the amount of applications that they can take. Plenty of people are dying to go to school there and live it up with that N.O. has to offer these days. It's amazing to me, considering the price they charge for tuition.

I don't hate Tulane. There's absolutely no reason to.

Back in the day, when Tulane mattered, there was a lot of hate. It was a good rivalry. But now, especially with so many students from the NO area being friends with Tulane students and with them being a joke/after thought as a competitor, they really don't matter, thus not a lot of hate. They still think they are superior and that's fine...let them live in their delusional little world.

Back when they actually had a fan base, they were very hateable.

Anyone who was around in the early 80's when they beat us twice in football and beat us in the first round of the NIT in hoops can attest to the obnoxiousness of their fans.

I hated them with a passion back then.

But they have no semblance of a real fan base anymore and they just are not competitive anymore in much of anything. The hate is gone for me.
