Tonight, at 6:00 p.m. CT, Tulane entertains Southern Miss in Yulman Stadium. To see what to expect weather wise, click here. For On SI Tulane picks for the game, go here. For Fast Eddie's selection, you can get to this link. And for why I think Will Hall really wants this game, go here.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of Tulane Stadium on October 23, 1926. This evening, the first 25-hundred fans to the game will get a model of the old Stadium, so you might want to get there early. A website dedicated to the Stadiums of Pro Football has a short synopsis of the history of the stadium.

On October 19th, the week of the anniversary of the opening of the old girl, we will release an incredible, digital, online rendering of Tulane Stadium done by someone who has never been to New Orleans, much less to the home of the Sugar Bowl. That video will premiere on Monday, October 19th at 6:00 a.m. CT on our YouTube channel.

Social Media & Talkin' Trash

The Battle for the Bell, folks from both schools were saying...at least the schools were. The fans were eerily silent at the beginning of the week. At least on my X feed. Not much of anything from anyone. Until the shopping cart.

If you don't know that study about the type of people leaving their shopping carts in the parking lot, you need to look it up. That was followed with another post from the same Tulane fan. My response is at the top.

To which a response was sent (which I had to clean up a bit. This is a family show here)

Sh*t talk
How weak is this talk? | X.com

Maybe it was something I said, but things started to happen. I received some more from various Tulane people and finally started to receive some responses from folks in Hattiesburg. Remember, this is all in fun and, to tell you the truth, I enjoyed it immensely.

Let the fun begin.

The response to the airplane post was, I have to admit, right on target.

In fact, another Hburg response was sort of a low blow, seeing as how I don't do what this poster says. FYI, he/she meant to type "put" in their post.

As any Tulane fan can tell you, Wave followers, and Tulane itself are very proud of the City Edition uniforms. So, the post that contrasts a Southern Miss "City Edition helmet" made me laugh.

A fellow Tulane fan decided to make it a little more accurate, in his point of view.

To which another Tulanian added their version.

The fun stopped when it was pointed out that the helmet background was not Hattiesburg at all, but some city in Pennsylvania.

I was amazed at how he could figure that out.

Some didn't want to get involved at all. They just wanted to enjoy another football team.

Then, another accurate assessment of where these two teams have been in their history together.

Followed by something we in New Orleans hope was AI generated.

But, since this is a site focused on Tulane, we thought we would end with the last one I saw this week.

Let the fun continue tonight, 6:00 p.m. CT, in Yulman Stadium. Bring your bags to collect any additional trash that may be talked.
