Aggies to Raise Katrina Relief Funds: Texas A&M will donate all proceeds from the Nov. 26 game at Reed Arena against Tulane to the Green Wave’s Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The game will technically be a home for Tulane, although the crowd clearly will favor the Aggies. Just ask the NFL’s New Orleans Saints about the “home” crowd at an opponents’ stadium. The Saints played the New York Giants at the Meadowlands as a home game that featured tens of thousands of loud New Yorkers clamoring for a Giants victory. The scale is smaller, but the principle remains the same. Although referring to the game as a Tulane home game is bogus, the thought is what counts. Texas A&M is helping out its nearby neighbor as the Gulf Coast states continue to rebuild following the devastation from Katrina.
