Tulane’s Titles

Ole Miss travels to New Orleans Saturday to take on Tulane, a founding member of the SEC in 1932-1933. After sharing the SEC title with Alabama in 1934, #13 Tulane defeated #3 Temple 20-14 in the inaugural Sugar Bowl played on Jan. 1, 1935. The Green Wave finished 10-1 with its only loss to Colgate. It defeated current SEC members Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, Kentucky and LSU as well as former members Georgia Tech and Sewanee in 1934.

Tulane won three SEC championships — 1934, 1939 and 1949 — before leaving the conference in 1966. That’s still more than founding members Kentucky (2) and Mississippi State (1) have today.

Ole Miss leads the series with Tulane 42-28, and has played the Green Wave more than any other program outside the SEC. The Rebels defeated Tulane 27-13 in 2010.

White Is the New Black

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, these yellow jacket nest motif helmets have made an appearance on some Georgia Tech players’ Twitter feeds. Will Virginia Tech face a new look Monday night?

Here are some of Georgia Tech’s helmets from the past. The white helmet with the old gold, interlocking GT has always been a favorite. Not sold on a yellow jacket nest motif.
