When I was a kid, I was a TU fan. I was ragged for it. When I went to TU and went to the Dome games, I got ragged for it. When I graduated and still wore my TU gear, I got ragged for it. Well, tonight is for us. For the ones who went to games when we only had 500 people 1/
I don’t think SMU would’ve beaten Oregon, BUT they could’ve given them a run for their money.
Liberty got absolutely dog walked and did an excellent job furthering the P5/G5 divide.
Makhi Hughes just crossed the 1000 yard rushing mark - the first freshman RB to do this in Tulane football history. Also:
🟢 6th consecutive 100+ yard game
🟢 Game sealing 31 yard run vs Tulsa
🟢 52 missed tackles on the year
Hats off to you sir 👏👏👏
I’m just going to come out and say this. Homecoming is Saturday and unless you have already committed to other plans, there’s NO reason why you shouldn’t be in Yulman at 2:30 PM. None. The team has done their part and now it’s time to do ours.

So, rumor has it that The Green Wave faithful has pulled up in the Big D in big numbers. Since I’m at home, let me live through you! Post your photos and videos! I heard that it’s a sight to see 💙💚💙💚
Not TU related but it’s sad to see a player from our conference lose his life in any manner. Prayers to
@FifthQuarterUCF
and the rest of the UCF family. Life is too short to not to fulfill your promises and dreams.
Apparently former UCF & LA Rams RB Otis Anderson Jr. was shot and killed by his father last night and his mother was shot and wounded and currently in critical condition, this is absolutely heartbreaking and horrific news to wake up to

With Navy’s win against UCF, Tulane now has the opportunity to host the AAC championship for the first time in program history - assuming they beat Cincy next week.
Tulane controls their own destiny.

for the heavens or when we brought a new generations of fans into the world. This for you, for me and the many who came before us and the ones who carry on after we aren't here. This is our night.

Lemme just rehash what just happened if you didn’t tune in:
- Tulane was down 10-3 in the 4th
- Wave narrows MSU’s lead to 10-8
- A 2 run sac fly (yes, a TWO run sac fly) ties the game in the 9th
- Groff hits a walk off no doubter in extras
That’s fucking college baseball.
Fellow Tulane fans, it has been an absolute pleasure to witness this season with y’all.
Couldn’t make it to an NY6 but went 11-2 and had a magical run.
I will bite my tongue and instead just relish in the improbability that this season was.
Roll Wave & goodnight. 🌊
When we knew there was no way in hell we would win. When they tried to take football away from us MANY times. When hurricanes would hit and tear us away from each other. When we didn't know if we could come back. When we buried our faithful with the hopes they would cheer 2/

Sloppy plays lose games. Disappointed with every faction of the game. Oh well, good game
@FifthQuarterUCF
. I never thought that I would be disappointed to be 8-2. On to Senior Night Thursday.
I hate to do this but…dear local sports media,
It has come to my attention that the Tulane Green Wave are 6-1 after a tough yet victorious game against USF and yet I have not seen one Tweet or comment from any of you. Now I know that the other Louisiana team playing 1/
I’m happy on one hand and sad on the other. It’s great to see the students coming out to show support but we don’t need to be turning away students because of we ran out of space. Let’s find a compromise to let them all in💚🩵💚🩵
Great win for
@GreenWaveFB
to kick off the season. Capacity 5,000 students on hand with 1,500 turned away. With 8,000
Undergrads….man our students came through in a big way tonight. Six more (regular season) chances at home starting next Saturday afternoon.

Tyjae Spears (

- 684 rushing yards (136.8 per game)
- 8.8 yards/carry
- 7 total TDs

What will he do next week versus Cincy?
When reviewing my game photos, it is common to find holding that was never called. I get it. Yesterday was a first. Holding by two players that was never called. Sigh.
🚨 BREAKING: Tulane is expected to hire former Troy University defensive coordinator Shiel Wood. Wood’s defense allowed just 4.69 yards per play in 2022 - good for 8th best in the nation.
A great hire by the Green Wave after Lance Guidry abruptly left for Miami.
Even though Tulane has not been in a "P5" Conference in 55 years, they still have a more recent "P5" Conference Championship than...

🟢 Best freshman RB season in Tulane history
Not Tulane related but let’s send thoughts and prayers to this young man and his family. I’m still in shock watching him collapse in real time. I know that today was a great day for us but please take a moment to pray for his recovery.

Devito notches another save and Tulane knocks down no. 9 Mississippi State, 5-4. What an exhilarating and masterful series win for this clutch Green Wave team.
Where do you think Tulane gets ranked this week? Let us know ⬇️ ⬇️⬇️
TU athletics is preparing for a press conference and announcing the new football head coach hire on Friday, December 8th.
Willie was hired at Houston 2 days ago.
Whoever the new hire is, you have to assume athletics has been preparing for it prior to Willie’s departure.
horrible. When people tried to take football away from us MANY times. When hurricanes hit and tore us apart. Tonight is for us. Now go outside with your Tulane gear and be proud! We earned this.
#RollWave
Only 1 week until the final game of the regular season vs UTSA. Lots of seats still available - particularly in sections 118-124.
The attendance for this game cannot flop. It is arguably Tulane’s most important matchup of the season and they need our support.
#Tulane
fans should watch this video 👇
Keon Howard has all the tools to be successful in Tulane’s offense. He’s fast, has a strong arm, and can throw accurately on the run. Skip to 3:00 if you want to see two SEC LB’s get juked at the same time 😱
7-1 Tulane is ranked
#24
in the College Football Playoff rankings - one spot above 8-0 Air Force.
No doubt that Tulane must win out to keep the NY6 hopes alive.
Everyone, if you see a

player or maybe a family member, please take time out to show your love and appreciation for what they do. These guys are working hard on and off the field and they deserve to see what they mean to us. Even if it’s just a

Gotta assume that Willie will take most of his successful staff members with him - notably Kurt Hester and Shiel Wood.
This hurts the program in more ways than people realize. Definitely will need to rebuild from the ground up.
Former Marshall defensive coordinator Lance Guidry has agreed to become the Green Wave’s new DC.
Guidry’s defense allowed only 16 points per game in 2022 - good for 6th best in the country.
Can I just @ the entire Tulane defense? Y’all were lights out tonight. Took advantage of what the offense gave you and created turnovers.

I wonder if there’s a G5 school out there that’s coming off a 12 win season, an NY6 bowl victory, and has top-tier academics.
Surely a school like this doesn’t exist, right?
Y’all understood the assignment. I asked Friday night if we could sell out by Tuesday and y’all showed up and showed out on Sunday morning! This makes my heart full 💙💚💙💚

This almost brought me to tears. I never thought I would see all 32

teams at Yulman to see what we’ve been telling them about for years. Tulane is really a football school.
Hi Wave family,
Last night was one of the most fearful nights I’ve ever had. I am a resident of Arabi and my house was saved from the tornado and we suffered minimal damage. I’m still a bit shaken honestly but my family and I are fine. (Cont)
Whatever happens with the staff this year - it’s obvious that
@TheKurtHester
has played an enormous role in developing the program and taking our players to the next level.
Athletics needs to do what they can to keep him long term and secure his future here.
Congrats to our guys
@GreenWaveMBB
on their 81-79 big win over number 10 Memphis!
Sion James led the way with 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Kevin Cross had 21 points, seven rebounds and two assists.
This was a great game and we can’t wait to see more.
#RollWave
See what happens when you have a sold out stadium and a winning team? If we fill it, they will commit! We’re starting a new winning tradition and it feels great!
#RollWave
Dear local media,
Can y’all give us a little bit of love? I know that the other people in purple are playing but we’re the ones who are playing our home game away. I know that y’all didn’t send anyone to Norman but come on. Our boys need a boost from the city 🤦🏾♀️
FINAL: Tulane 20, VA Tech 41
And with that, the 2023 season comes to an end. Despite the gutted coaching staff and depleted roster, the Wave never gave up.
It’s time to dive into the Sumrall era. We’ll see you guys for football next year.

Tulane is expecting to hire Troy coach Jon Sumrall as its next head coach, source tells
@YahooSports
. Deal is not done, but it is expected to be finalized later today.
@mzenitz
reported earlier that he was the school's target.
Hearing from multiple sources on the sideline that an
@SMUFB

Completely unacceptable behavior. SMU continues to be a classless program. Disgusting and I hope that
@American_Conf
interferes.
Friendly reminder that the Saints passed on Tyjae Spears for Miller.
Miller has 83 yards in 5 games.
Spears is sitting at 329 yards (5.0 YPC) and a touchdown while splitting carries with Derrick Henry.
