Tulane Fan Goes Viral During Ole Miss Loss (Photos)
A Tulane fan went viral during the team’s loss to Ole Miss this week nearly eight months after initially setting the internet ablaze for a similar reason.
Back in January of this year, Tulane defeated USC in the Cotton Bowl 46-45. While that upset was a big deal, it wasn’t the only major storyline to emerge from the outing.
The other thing fans at home couldn’t stop talking about was a fan who was briefly shown reacting to the outing.
It didn’t take long for her to be identified.
This week that fan, Ellie, went viral once more after Tulane lost to Ole Miss 37-20 on Saturday.
It all started with someone on social media asking for a connect to Ellie.
Hey Tulane girl from 2022 cotton bowl, Kyle here. I’m in your city and will be at F&M’s tonight. Was hoping I could buy you a drink. #cheers pic.twitter.com/8Sl39AUdF8

With social media being what it is, and fans online being what they are, it didn’t take long for the responses to pour in.
Some of the reactions to his tweet were truly classic.
Me and Kyle go way back. When he wasnt reading to the elderly, or volunteering in the hospital, he was always there to hang and joke around. I remember that time you adopted 37 puppies. He loves dogs. Such an awesome dude. You still doin that food drive for the hungry next week?

Yo bro thanks for letting me borrow the lambo this weekend! I also dropped all those backpacks off that you bought for the local high schools this morning! Good luck in Tulane! @hottytoddyhenry

So good to see my childhood friend Kyle Henry on the up. I remember when you rushed into a burning orphanage and saved 13 of the kids like it was just yesterday. Hope your back isn’t hurting too much from the her skiing you do in Tahoe 3 months every year 🙏🏼

Ellie, for what it’s worth, didn’t appear to be at the Tulane game this weekend. Or at the very least, her social media didn’t seem to have any references to the Ole Miss loss.
Nevertheless, she seems to get a ton of engagement on her standard social media posts.

In a weekend where an Alabama cheerleader’s provocative photos went viral, two Notre Dame cheerleaders nearly melted the internet with their racy pictures and a Colorado cheerleader’s wild antics caused a stir, it’s telling that Ellie is still such a big story in college football.
Big picture, she clearly left quite the mark at the Cotton Bowl last season.

Folks are still talking about her to this day.
Will Ellie ultimately make an appearance at any Tulane games this season? Time will tell.
