As college football fans, we are supposed to count our blessings. Against some fairly long odds, games are being played. The SEC season starts next week. After it looked like the Big Ten and Pac 12 were going to sit out until January, they are poised to join the party later in the fall. Given the circumstances, everything is great, right?
Wrong.
At least if you’re Tulane.
It’s one thing to say that this year is a freeroll with no pressures, expectations or disappointments. That just playing football is a win in and of itself.
But that idealistic view of what this season should be goes away pretty quickly when you cough up a hairball like the Green Wave did in a 27-24 loss to Navy.
