They weren’t wrong. She even ended up getting a mention in the New York Post and The Sun.
Later that night, after finding out that she had the internet talking about her, she reacted with a TikTok video with the caption, “that game was a real nail biter.”
Fast forward a couple of days and the “Tulane Girl” (real name: Ellie Fazio) was back on TikTok to share a bit more with her many new followers.
“Easy find #tulanegirl #cottonbowl,” Fazio captioned this latest video.
