The Green Wave have survived quite a bit of adversity—including two administrative attempts to shut down football. Now they’re on their way to one of their best seasons in program history.
NEW ORLEANS—In one of the biggest accomplishments of his life, Angus Lind convinced a group of LSU fans in the spring of 2002 to help save Tulane football. Dozens of folks, some even wearing the purple-and-gold gear of Tulane’s in-state rival, stood along St. Charles Avenue holding signs that read, “Honk if you love Tulane!”
“Twenty years later, who’d a thunk it?” says Lind, a 78-year-old longtime Green Wave supporter and a former sportswriter for The Times Picayune.
