Tulane v Houston on Thursday Night

Tulane Green Wave – Fake Kneeldown and Stolen Win

With the score tied 31-31 in the fourth quarter, 18 seconds left, the Green Wave ran one of those plays that will go down in pigskin lore, I do believe. The fake kneeldown.

This should have been an overtime game. But the Wave just refused to lose. Here’s a shot of head coach Willie Fritz team surfing after another win in the locker room.

that they do on third down. I don’t understand it. But it is, it’s, weird. Don’t do this.

Tulane is the Green Wave. They are in Carolina blue. Don’t get it.

Now having said that, the Green Wave are a blast to watch. I’m pulling for them to get a nice bow.
