Just as Central Florida is laying claim that it should be considered the national champion in football for posting an undefeated record this season, David Cariello thinks Tulane deserves some share of retroactive glory.
He is the owner of the Tulane-based Campus Connection apparel store, and the store this week began taking online orders for a 1998 national championship t-shirt in commemoration of school's 12-0 season.
That season ended with Tulane getting no chance at playing for a national title, as undefeated Tennessee beat one-loss Florida State in the first-ever BCS championship game played in the Fiesta Bowl.
