[TURVS71]

CBS Sports now has us playing Miami in the Birmingham Bowl! https://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/bowls/predictions

Please God!

Yes! Time for revenge for the 5th down play that gave Miami a W years ago at their pace. Also, FIU just beat the Hurricanes this year. Great way to end 7-6.

We got that revenge when Curci was coaching Kentucky and we had back to back PI penalties to get in position and kick the winning field goal...

[Wave755]

We last played Florida State in 1992, 27 years ago. We lost 77 to 7. We are all-time 0 -10 versus the Seminoles (We had to forfeit the 34 to 28 win in 1983 after Wally English's son was ruled ineligible) . http://www.winsipedia.com/tulane/vs/florida-state

We last played Miami in 1978, 41 years ago. We won 20 to 16. We are all-time 5-1-6 against the Canes. http://www.winsipedia.com/tulane/vs/miami-fl

I welcome a game against either in the Birmingham or any other bowl.

That really was sweet revenge. If I remember correctly, the play where the second PI call was made, and the next play when we kicked the winning FG, were both run with zero time on the clock. Nicky Hall just threw the ball as far as he could on both plays, and the crazy Kentucky DBs just blatantly interfered. At that time, a PI call got the ball placed at the point of the foul, They later limited PI calls to a max of 15 yards. That change in the rule was partly driven by Tulane's uncanny ability to force PI calls on deep passes--back when Tulane WRs Mark Zeno and before him Wayne? Smith routinely extracted PI calls on deep passes.

We are officially 0-10 against Fla. State, even though we actually beat them on the field in 1983. We ended up having to forfeit that game because of the Wally and Jon English vs NCAA fiasco. We later were on the receiving end of a forced forfeiture, when Alabama had to forfeit a game to us a few years later.

It really was sweet revenge and I believe you are correct about there being no time left for either of the last two plays.

Here is a great article on both the 1980 Kentucky game and the infamous 1972 "Fifth Down" game against Miami. https://tulane.rivals.com/news/1980-tul ... entucky-22

And, for the 1972 Miami game I believe Bennie Ellender had a timeout left he didn't use which could have been called before Miami ran its infamous fifth down for a touchdown.

[DfromCT]

When a team forfeits a game the other team doesn't get a win if they lost on the field. The win is abandoned.

[winwave]

IIRC in the past the NCAA did forfeit games and thus the other program was credited with the win. Now the tendency seems to be for them to vacate wins meaning only that the win was taken away. and the other team is not credited with the win.

I really wish we scheduled FSU non conference. They would jump at the chance to come to New Orleans and recruit. Their fans and students move New Orleans and come all the time. . .

We should play FSU regularly in as many sports as possible. I remember watching Yaz Jr. playing for the Seminoles in baseball in the early/mid 80's. And I was at the game in the Dome when we beat them on the gridiron. Elton Veals, who lived down the hall from me in Monroe (dorm) was the reason we won that game. FSU, coming off of a win versus Florida, easily had as many fans in the Dome as Tulane.

They did and it was fun to gloat in front of them. Great night.

Veals was a stud, with break away speed. He was like a cross between Bradwell and Dauphine. Another reason we won that FSU game was the 95 yard Pick 6 that we had--I can't remember the DBs name.

247 now has us playing Miami in the Independence Bowl? https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports. ... 58803/Amp/

I'd take this. FIU just beat them a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, I hope it happens. They are beatable and Shreveport is a mere 4 hour drive from anywhere in Metropolitan New Orleans. Miami is ACC and they have a name, Liberty doesn’t. And, I can’t image we will not be sky high for the game, just as we were sky high for FIU to begin the season. Anything we can do to make this happen, we should do to make it happen. And, I think Miami will want this game too.

I would love to play Miami in Shreveport. I hope it happens.

[Bicoastalwave]

I was shocked when in Tallahassee for business how many students made the road trip to New Orleans 4+ times per SEMESTER. It was Miami and New Orleans that was almost an even split

1980 with 42k in the Dome against the Wildcats was a very good crowd then. I was in the Dome for the 89 or 90 game against Florida State and I think the attendance was 33k. The Wave and Catholic NOLA only brought in 42k for the 1966 game against
Notre Dame in Tulane Stadium that finished 41-0 for the Irish.

4x per semester??

That's hard to believe. As much as New Orleans is an attraction, that's got to be an inflated number. I didn't get 100 miles out of New Orleans more than 1x a semester, if that.

[Bicoastalwave]

Many of the student at FSU are their to party not for scholastic enrichment and their studies. I will rephrase my past post by saying “some” fsu students went to New Orleans many times per semester. FSU kids party Hard, it reminded me of New Orleans & Tulane . . Just without the city, culture, music, food and academics

I know the FSU Cheerleaders and dance team came to New Orleans for Mardi Gras one year during my years at Tulane. They needed a place to stay, and somehow me and my fraternity brothers accommodated them. And we didn't have a house, so it ended up being one or two of them at various houses uptown. One of the best memories of my years at Tulane!

[Wave755]

247 now has us playing Iowa State in the Liberty Bowl? Damn, who knows???!!!

We should have our answer shorty.

Miami is probably our bowl opponent.

Our first meeting since 1978, 41 years ago?

Wow, depressing how fast the years go by. I was at that game—it was just before the Miami program blew up into a national power.

247’s projections for Miami: https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports. ... 86544/Amp/
The Canes would be a great consolation prize for us considering how disappointing was the second half of our season.

Most of the bowl selections will be announced @ about 11:00 a.m. CST.

That would be a big prize for the Wave. Doesn’t Aresco need to know whether Memphis gets into the Cotton Bowl, before he can assign bowls to all the other AAC teams? Hopefully everyone moves up a notch.
