Northwestern denied Tulane’s request to wear white for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina

Tulane HC Jon Sumrall says Northwestern denied their request to wear white jerseys, which the 2005 team wore in their first game after Hurricane Katrina. The Green Wave would go on to beat Northwestern 23-3. (via @TUGreenWave)

  1. Sure, I get it. Good hearted gesture. But did he forget New Orleans is one of the murder capitals of the world? It's a crappy city and it smells like pee.

  2. They could have wore it next game if they were actually serious coach was just looking for bulletin board material. 😂

  3. yeaaaaa, but like if that was against Ohio State ya know there ain't a chip big enough to save your tribute

  4. The color of jerseys for a meaningless college football game is quite trivial compared to the loss and suffering New Orleans endured back during Katrina.

  5. This is the Tulane coach trying to gin up local interest in his program, nothing more. There were at least 10,000 empty seats at this game. Tulane asked for a jersey change less than two weeks before the game. The game was played at 11 am in late August in New Orleans (that by itself is crazy). Would you give up white jerseys for colored jerseys under those conditions for some last minute request if you were the coach? Northwestern's coach pointed out to the press that, when he was in college, he literally went on a mission trip to NOLA to help clean up after Katrina. In the end, it doesn't matter. Neither team made the playoffs but both are going to bowl games.

  6. I mean, New Orleans is a straight up shit hole, before or after Katrina. Use whatever you need to coach, but let's not pretend the Big EZ is anything but disgusting.

  7. Get in a real league softest schedule in the country Tulane should enter the SEC in football next year Come on you p u s s I e s

  8. As a Gator fan….the more I learn about this man….the deeper of a man-crush I develop!

    Also, RIP to all who lost lives or loved ones in that HORRIBLE storm.

    Never lived there but visited many times and couldn’t love a place more! Great music, people and FOOD!!

    New Orleans forever!

  9. please coach my saints because what in the actual fuck is this team🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

  10. If you disrespect another team you deserve disrespect yourself. So don't talk about respect or disrespect when you are disrespectful in your own right. Asking the team to wear something they wore 20 years ago when you are wearing something that's modern as can be
