1965 The Green Wave was originally scheduled to open their season at home vs. Texas September 17, but one week prior to that date, Category 4 Hurricane Betsy wreaked destruction upon New Orleans, bending the light towers at Tulane Stadium , leaving large tree limbs strewn across the campus and the surrounding neighborhood, and knocking out power throughout the metropolitan area. As a result, the game was shifted to Austin and moved back one day.
The season concluded with Tulane sustaining its third 62-0 loss to LSU in the past eight seasons in the Green Wave's final football game as a member of the Southeastern Conference .
