Rumor: August 22, 2004 - MU vs
Tulane 2005-06. According
to a post on CUSABBS.com by a Tulane fan..." Tulane will
have crossover games with Marshall, USM and UCF in 2005 and 2006.
The Wave will host Marshall and travel to USM and UCF in 2005.
The travel teams will be reversed in 2006. I hope we play Marshall
in their very fisrt CUSA game as a member. I think it would be
a very good draw and we could give them a proper CUSA welcome." Click
