Tulane to the SEC? Fans all made the same joke after Green Wave took lead over Oklahoma

Tulane football used to be a member of the SEC, calling the conference home from 1932 to 1965, winning 3 SEC football titles.
However, the SEC is bringing in Oklahoma and Texas at some point in the next few years as the newest members of the conference, not the Green Wave.
On Saturday, though, the Green Wave made a case for inclusion in their old conference, taking an early 14-7 lead over the Sooners in a game that was relocated from New Orleans to Norman due to Hurricane Ida:

Oklahoma has since tied the score at 14-14, but that didn’t stop everyone from making the same joke on Twitter about Tulane looking like an SEC team:
Tulane has won 3 SEC Football Championships. Oklahoma has never even won 1.

Tulane practiced in Tuscaloosa and came out looking like they still belong in the SEC right now?

The SEC thought they could become stronger by grabbing Oklahoma…but maybe the actual move should have been….to bring an old friend back home.
Tulane is ready to take your call. My column:

Weak play: Bringing in Texas and Oklahoma
Power play: Bringing Tulane and Georgia Tech back home.— Greg tallent (@Gregory_Tallent) September 4, 2021

Tulane ain’t been in the SEC since 1966 but they’re giving Oklahoma the SEC treatment today.
