Tulane's Official "I Hate LSU" Forum Thread

"My hate for LSU was "born on" 11/20/65, the date of the last 62-0 loss to LSU. Enough was enough. On that night I swore I would never, never pull for those guys again. To this day I have kept that vow. "

I was in the student section that night holding up 2 fingers in the air hoping for 63-0!!!! One of my few disagreements with Cholly Mac. It must be damned awful to be a Tulane fan!!!!!

 

THANKS......

You could have ended that with, " but you probally dont want to waste your time. They are a bunch of irrational bad fans."

 

Sad. Simply sad.

 

Wow, that is sad. I guess people will grab at anything they can for a "W" (The W has quotation marks around it because a high tuition rate does not give you better education or class).

 

Tulane had a perfect season about 9 years ago didn't they?

I think this was like the 1st year of the BCS; they didn't get to play for the title though.

 

It wasn't that long ago, was it? It was Bowden's final season as coach. I remember before the season that Corso said they would go undefeated if they could just get past USM.:lol: They did...and they did! They played absolutely NOBODY that year.

 

In name only.

 

The dramatic turnaround was only a preview of what was to come in Bowden's second year as coach, as Tulane went undefeated for the first time since 1931. Quarterback Shaun King led the wave to a 12-0 record, a Conference USA championship and a final No. 7 national ranking. Despite a perfect regular season, the Green Wave was not invited to a BCS bowl game — an event which contributed to questions about how college football championships and revenues are managed. All the more remarkable about this season was that King played with a cast on his left wrist, which was broken in the 3rd game of the 1998 season. That year, King set the all-time NCAA passing efficiency record for quarterbacks, a record which, at 183.3, still stands.[2] Tommy Bowden left Tulane to become head coach at Clemson University. He was replaced by Georgia assistant and South Louisiana native Chris Scelfo, who was chosen in favor of popular Tulane offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez was the architect of the devastating spread offense that averaged 45 points per game during the 1998 season. Rodriguez took over after Bowden left as interim head coach for the Green Wave in the 1998 Liberty Bowl, a 41-27 victory over the BYU Cougars which completed the perfect 12-0 season. Rodriguez then remained at Tulane, expecting to be named head coach, until the athletic department named Scelfo the new head coach, after which Rodriguez followed Bowden to Clemson to serve as offensive coordinator. He subsequently was hired in 2001 as the head coach of West Virginia University, his alma mater, where he remains in that capacity today.
