Wind from Katrina ripped two holes in the roof of the Louisiana Superdome — the home field of the Saints — on Monday morning. The Tulane football team, which also plays its home games there, escaped to Jackson, Miss., and hunkered down on the Jackson State campus.
The Saints bought $5,000 worth of tickets to San Jose State's season opener Saturday against Eastern Washington as a reward for being allowed to use the facilities. The tickets will be distributed to disadvantaged children.
Jackson St. and San Jose St. really benefitted from the tragedy. Wonder if Tulane will play any games in Jackson as a result, and if so, will it affect Jackson's schedule?
San Jose St. will certainly be able to use the $5,000 worth of tickets to save their flailing football program. Just think, if the Saints were playing at the Jets the last week of the preseason instead of the Raiders, the money might have gone to Yale instead.
