Heard they buried him at halftime of homecoming so they could be sure there were no witnesses.

I just spit out a mouthful of diet coke all over my monitor! Funny stuff.

Plenty of Tulane fans go to this bowl most years. This is never a hard ticket. I have no doubt we will have the majority of the fans. And I am just as sure that many of the USL buffoons, some of whom won't even have been there themselves, will rattle on inanely for months about how they outnumbered us at our home stadium. Won't be an ounce of truth to it but that won't make an ounce of difference to them.

And, does it really matter if USL outnumbers us? Will it be embarrassing? Maybe? Will they be annoying? Yeah. Are they always annoying? Yes. In the grand scheme of things, as long as Donny Z put in his ticket request yesterday, I'll be there, so that's all that matters.

Waveprof said it best: This is their "Superbowl."

This game represents their aspirational apex.

Despite an occasional "quality" win, they will never amount to better than a directional school in a small-time conference playing for an "also-ran" bowl. Book it.
