00:00 That is always a possibility of it happening.
00:02 It could be something that lingers, mobility can go down.
00:05 And if Michael Pratt cannot run the ball,
00:08 he is probably the third best rusher on their team right now.
00:12 Or maybe even second best rusher.
00:16 It's a problem if he can't run because their running game against USA
00:22 was not exactly what they hoped it would be.
00:24 Now, if you add that on top of the fact that this is
00:27 being said it's the biggest two lane football game that they've ever had.
00:34 This is their Super Bowl.
00:38 They don't want to claim it's their Super Bowl because that is saying that they're
00:42 playing a difficult opponent.
00:44 The last time they played a ranked opponent at home
00:47 was in the mid 2000s against LSU.
00:50 The last time they played a ranked Ole Miss was in like 1956.
00:54 And this is the only ranked opponent they've ever gotten at Uelmen Stadium,
00:59 I believe.
01:00 So this game has a chance to be very, very festive.
01:08 And if you look at the game timeout, this is what the pictures look like and
01:12 everything, the seats.
01:13 These are not great seats, but it's about $100 get in price.
01:16 You wanna get in and see this football game is gonna cost you about 100 bucks
01:21 to go watch a game.
01:24 Tulane is selling tickets at Costco for every game except this one.
01:27 This one's a hard sellout.
01:29 They wanted to prevent people from buying up season tickets to get this game.
01:34 And they're trying to protect themselves from Ole Miss doing it.
01:37 And Ole Miss would have actually done that.
01:40 I know several people that bought season tickets for Tulane just for this game.
01:44 But because of that, because of all of this stuff I'm talking about right now,
01:50 likely means that Michael Pratt is going to play on Saturday.
01:54 And he's going to play a lot.
01:55 Now remember last season?
01:56 Yes, Tulane went to the Cotton Bowl and yes, they beat USC.
02:01 But getting there, okay?
02:04 They beat Kansas State, which that was just as impressive as beating USC,
02:10 by the way.
02:10 Beating Kansas State and beating USC in one year, Tulane,
02:15 they deserve all the love for that.
02:18 But in that K-State game, I believe Michael Pratt kind of got rolled up on again,
02:24 or maybe got a concussion or something.
02:26 But he went into the next game against USM not 100% right.
02:30 I'm not 100% sure how he got hurt, I just know that he was.
02:34 During the USM game, USM blocked a field goal, blocked a punt.
02:39 USM ended up winning the game.
02:42 Michael Pratt, they found out that he was more hurt than he was letting on.
02:46 He ended up missing the Houston game.
02:48 Tulane won the Houston game, but that's not the point.
02:53 They ended up dropping the Southern Mississippi game because he tried to play
02:57 hero ball a little bit, if that makes sense.
03:00 This being the biggest game in Tulane football history,
03:06 means that Michael Pratt's probably going to play.
03:10 It doesn't matter what those, that ankle could be in worst possible situation.
03:16 It could be being put together by duct tape.
03:19 Michael Pratt's gonna play this game.
