Saturday was a day unlike any other for the Tulane football team. A weeklong endeavor of impromptu road practices culminated in a football game; one that the Green Wave didn’t know a week ago they’d even get to play. While Hurricane Ida tore through the state of Louisiana, the gridiron was the furthest thing from the minds of most but on Saturday, finally, the players could turn their attention to football. As they took the field before a raucous crowd in Norman, OK one thing was clear; wherever this team played they were welcome with open arms.
Maybe it was the heartfelt signs of support from Sooners fans that dotted the stadium or perhaps it was the familiar “Angry Wave” logo that Oklahoma had so thoughtfully painted on their 25-yard lines as this was, after all, supposed to be a Tulane home game.
