Tulane is  great story.

They went to bowl games 3 years in a row.

Then last year, the hurricane came and they were forced to move a home against Oklahoma on the road, and then had to live out of a hotel in Birmingham (?) for a month before they could return to campus.  And when they did, there were all sorts of problems due to all the damage that had been done.

That all led to a 2-10 record for a team with a lot of experience and talent.

But it also helped drive the team to what happened this year.  Those senior leaders did not want to go out that way.  A lot of seniors who would ordinarily have left decided to come back because they had something to prove this year.  If it sounds familiar, it should.

The team this year was led by seniors.  They had a ton of experience and took advantage of it, much like we sometimes see a team from a conference like the MAC get a bunch of 5th year senior starters and make a long run in the NCAA hoops tournament.

Great story.  Props to the kids and the coaches for pulling it off.
