Nick Montana, son of pro football Hall-of-Famer QB Joe Montana, signed his letter of intent today to play for coach Curtis Johnson and the Tulane Green Wave. Last season, Montana quarterbacked for Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, California, throwing for 2,652 yards and 22 touchdowns leading the team to a division title and an impressive 11-1 record.

Tulane (1-1) got one of its legs clipped yesterday as freshman kicker Cairo Santos has been declared ineligible pending an NCAA investigation. Santos’ high school transcript and ACT scores are at the heart of the inquiry. Cairo was a Brazilian exchange student who attended St. Joseph Academy in St. Augustine Florida. Apparently, his scores improved so much that it shocked the NCAA clearing house. Santos had an impressive 8 point jump in his ACT score from the first time...
The last college football game of the season was played in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday. College football’s stars took to the field one final time in the Senior Bowl as the South’s Tim Tebow (Florida) aimed to silence his critics who claim that he does not have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Unfortunately for Tebow and the South, the North squad came out of the gates swinging early and never looked back, winning 31-13. Tebow started the game for...

Originally, LSU wanted to play all the remaining games at Tiger Stadium, but Tulane wouldn’t agree to those terms. So instead of flexing its muscles on the field, LSU flexed its financial muscles off...

It appears a dozen or so Tulane football players may have the H1N1 virus (more commonly known as the swine flu). The players are being told to stay in their apartment or dorm and the team will treat them there. Two players have already been tested positive.
