Series history

The first game took place on December 2, 1893, in New Orleans, and the two schools have continued to play each other with few interruptions since. Tulane and Ole Miss spent much of their athletic histories as members of the same conference: the SIAA from 1899 to 1920, the Southern Conference from 1922 to 1932, and as charter members of the SEC from 1932 to 1966. Ole Miss did not play a game against Tulane at home in Oxford, Mississippi, until 1920, and it wasn't until 1951 that the teams began to frequently alternate hosting the game.

The Ole Miss–Tulane game on November 30, 1974, was the last collegiate football game played in Tulane Stadium, and the game on September 20, 1975, was the first collegiate game played in the Louisiana Superdome.^[5] The schools have me twice when both schools were ranked in the AP poll. In 1956 #19 Tulane beat #6 Ole Miss 10–3 and in the 2023 contest #11 Ole Miss pulled away in the final minutes to beat #23 Tulane 37–20, in spite of trailing most of the game. Tulane is now a member of the American Athletic Conference, while Ole Miss remains in the SEC. The next game in the series is scheduled for 2025 in Oxford.^[6]
