All you need to know about Tulane is that the reason they dropped out of the SEC in the early '60's was becaue they felt that as an Indy they could be like Notre Dame! They would not be limited in who they could play and would have more of a national appeal and would displace LSU as La.'s top school.
I'm not kidding!
However, they realized their mistake and wanted LSU to sponsor them to rejoin the conference when it expanded to 12 teams and SC and Arky came in. We all know that was a better deal for LSU and the conference as a whole how that worked out.
Being an Old Timer and knowing the history of LSU and Tulane, the passionate dislike the fans have for each other and the fact that many of the players know and played against each other and how they feel, I would like to see us continue to play them as much as possible. There is no reason but stubborn pride on the Greenie Wienies part to keep that from happening.
It would seem some people never learn. They just continue to cut their nose off to spite their face. "Pride goeth before a fall."
