Tulane's 31-0 loss to Temple on Saturday didn't merit huge headlines across the nation today. Relatively speaking, it was an afterthought on the college football landscape.
Its highlights won't make SportsCenter and the result will be buried deep on scores tickers.
But for Richard Allen and Sherman Badie, the game carried special significance. In all likelihood, it marked the penultimate time the lifelong friends and teammates would play together.
