Series history

The first game took place on October 25, 1902, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Both teams played in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) until leaving in 1922 to form the Southern Conference. Tulane and Auburn were charter members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1932 and played annually until 1955. The rivalry was renewed in 2006. The rivalry was notable for its back-and-forth nature, featuring three straight scoreless ties from 1936–38.[5]

Notable games

1926: A safety beats Tulane at Sugar Bowl dedication

The most notable game of Dave Morey's tenure as Auburn head coach was a 2–0 win over Bernie Bierman's Tulane squad, in the game that dedicated New Orleans' famous Sugar Bowl.

1932: Hitchcock upsets Green Wave

Led by All-American Jimmy Hitchcock, Auburn upset the Green Wave 19–7. It was called by one sports editor "the most glamorous football conquest in the annals of Auburn football." Hitchcock scored first when he intercepted a pass from Tulane's All-American, Don Zimmerman, and ran 60 yards for a touchdown, with the key block provided by Dave Ariail. The second touchdown was a 63-yard run from Hitchcock out of a punt formation.[6]
