Episode Notes
Tulane, a program that left the SEC and spent decades in the college football wilderness, has found its way back to the sport’s biggest stage for at least a moment. Let’s talk about the 2025 Green Wave, how they got here, coach Jon Sumrall, and why they’ve got a tiny but nonzero shot at a first-round upset.
(Note: Tulane played Ole Miss in 2023 and 2025, not 2024 and 2025, as Alex mentions in the episode.)
