Tulane wore decal-less helmets as a tribute to the team's uniform combination in its first game after Hurricane of Katrina 20 years ago. But there was one key element missing: white jerseys. Northwestern denied the request. Head coach Jon Sumrall took exception to that gesture after the game.

Northwestern is the virgin who brags about all the sex he has.

Northwestern has 4 girlfriends, but they go to a different school in a different state and you wouldn't know them

Great gesture Tulane. Glad to see you beat Northwestern 23-3. I guess their coach had to hoist the white jersey up the flagpole after the game? #NorthwesternSurrenders

I used to have a soft spot for Northwestern but with everything that's happened the last few years I just enjoy them having their basement status in the Big Ten.

Amazing how many people feel the need to comment on something they haven't read. Request was made after Northwestern had already packed and shipped the 70 plus uniforms to Tulane (1000 miles away). They may have been able to change things at such short notice, but Tulane could have asked earlier.

I don't understand why Tulane couldn't hold off until their first home game...

Northwestern could have done the high class thing and work their purple and black, as a "mourning in sympathy" gesture, but no. Brooke their toys and cried because "THE HOME TEAM WEARS WHITE!!! WHAAAA" Disgusting behavior. Really glad I didn't go to school there.

NW got it wrong. Katrina hit Gulf States extremely hard, we all suffered and felt loss because of it. Glad Tulane crushed NW. Resilience.
