Vintage Fans: Tell Us a Tulane Stadium Story?

I don't know which game it was, but there was one time when AL Hirt cussed like a sailor after some bad Saints play, which got picked up by the microphone that he would blow his trumpet into, and thus a string of Hirt-ful profanity got broadcast over the stadium PA...

I was reeeeally young, probably my first game, but I remember seeing the Dolphins kinda beat up on the Saints at Tulane Stadium during their heyday. Bob Griese, Larry Czonka, Mercury Morris, the No Name defense, all those dudes. I don't think it was the actual undefeated season, but just before or after that, and those guys were already living legends. And like ForeverFan with the Jim Plunkett story, we went and watched them leave, just some plain NOPD barricades between us and them, and those guys looked so badass and mean up close. Guys were limping, bruised, hobbling down the tunnel into the showers, just like the famous Mean Joe Greene commercial, LOL. But now I look back at it this way: that classic Dolphins team, had the same kind of swagger that our guys have now....
