New Orleans - When the Tulane football team sat down today to watch film of this week's opponent, the No. 9 LSU Tigers, the squad joined 97 former Green Wave teams in preparing for the oldest rivalry in school history. TU began preparation for its 98th meeting against Tigers today with a lengthy film session and an hour and half practice at the Westfeldt Practice Facility.

Tulane went through its normal routine of watching film of both its last game and this week's opponent and began the installation of this week's game plan against the Tigers. Saturday's game marks the Wave's third road game of the season and Tulane is 1-1 following a 17-16 win at Army on Oct. 4 and a 43-6 loss to Conference USA rival Southern Miss last week. The LSU match-up will be the final non-conference game of the year for the Wave and Tulane is 2-1 in non-league games in 2009.

"We came out and worked on fundamentals and tried to correct some of our mistakes from last Saturday's game and then we implemented some of our game plan for LSU," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "We, as coaches, have got to do a better job of coaching and we as a football team have to play better. You practice to get better and when you get to the game it needs to be a carry-over from practice."

The Tulane-LSU rivalry game will be available to watch on a pay-per-view basis on TigerVision, LSU's school in-house pay-per-view network. Kickoff for the LSU-Tulane game on Oct. 31 in Tiger Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. The TigerVision pregame show starts at 6:45 p.m. The cost to purchase the game will be $34.50.
