50 Years Ago in 1974

[Big Tyme]

Tulane wanted a more national schedule like Notre Dame and they thought the SEC was holding them back in that regard.
Ooops.
Georgia Tech left either the year before or after Tulane bailed.

That makes sense. Yep BIG ooops.

I remember the radio broadcast well as it was really the first UL football game that I listened to intensely and in its entirety. I was just a little kid listening to my transistor radio on my parent's carport. Remember getting really excited when Septien hit that first field goal.

50 years ago, the Cajuns played Tulane in a game no one there will ever forget.

Louisiana students created a tunnel for the Cajuns to run out of in pregame and to start the second half at Tulane Stadium during that infamous 17-16 loss to the Green Wave on Sept. 14, 1974.

Besides what I read years later, I have no personal memory of this game.

I was 14 at the time.

I remember raising rabbits and entering a garden growing contest.

Bart Starr had retired when I was 11 but was still my favorite quarterback.
