Ready for some football

Fall means football back on the Tulane campus.

Members of the Tulane University Marching Band get fans pumped up for the 2015 Green Wave football season in the tailgate village on the Tulane University uptown campus prior to the home-opener vs. the Duke Blue Devils on Thursday (Sept. 3). While the outcome may not have been what Tulane fans were hoping for — the Wave lost 37-7 — it was nice to have football back in Yulman Stadium.
