1-5 Temple opens as a 2 point favorite…
- Thread starter TulsaFan01
- Start date
Both teams are terrible. I bet both circled the other as an "easy win" on their respective schedules...
Should be labeled as ESPN’s “Pillow Fight of the Week”
I had to drop by the school this morning and saw the truck being loaded for the drive to Philly. Even the loading crew looked dejected.
This reign of terror KW has brought in will hopefully be done in 6 more games.
No kidding. 6 games left and none of those teams have a winning record but I’m sure each of them is looking forward to playing us.
3 if we can bring back the refs that cheated ECU the last time they were here.
We've always done very well against ECU except for when Graham (0-3) and Blankenship (0-2) were the coaches.
Yep , Temple and UAB are the only possible ones I see , and I doubt it
No we are not! You should become one though, permanently.
I think Wilson has recruited better and is stepping up quality. However, there is very questionable in-game coaching decisions and lack of superior conditioning. I think the main issues and I do believe it plays a huge role in a team....Almost all our conference mates have a media machine behind them, that prop them up inside their own city. We have a media machine actively trying to dismantle TU. Our conference brethren have cities behind them, we have a city where the people rather root for two schools that are not even in our city. I think our coaches have a hard time pumping up players to play when they enter a stadium and there is more Orange than blue and gold. I'm not letting the coaching staff off the hook, I just think a good coach could and would struggle here in this landscape. TU is not an easy school to coach at. So many obstacles to overcome. I hate it but it's true. Until the University itself truly buys into it's own brand...we will struggle.
Our offensive line is average , Kirk Francis makes a lot of late throws where if the receiver is wide open he has to wait on the ball
and our better talent are true freshmen . Playing 18 year olds against 22-24 year old men is a tall order for success. Next year
the football team should be better if the current freshman class sticks around plus another good recruiting class.
Todd Graham's teams had some great seasons here so it can be done ,unfortunately the portal makes it a tough on everyone .
If I ever reached the point of rooting for one of our opponents to beat us will be the day I buy fishing tackle and take up a new hobby. Maybe start following roller derby too.
No kidding. The day I pull for an opponent will be the last day that I follow the team or go to a game. Anyone who says otherwise probably wasn't really a fan to begin with.
Tulsa will somehow manage to win, barely.... It will be ugly and empty, similar to the LA Tech win; which felt like a loss.
I think most of the people that are saying they are cheering for temple aren’t doing it because they hate Tulsa, they want temple to win because it makes the chances of change more likely , not saying I agree or disagree with it , but I understand the reasoning
It was only one person, and he was just trying to draw attention to himself. He went away quietly when nobody agreed with his agenda.
He went back over to the aac board with the super fine folks that frequent there.
Does Forever still post over there? They make quite a duo.
Isn't Panicstricken Howard Twilley's grandson? That's so disappointing that he has to gain attention by playing down Tulsa like he often does on the conference board. I find it distressing that he is a relative of one of our best football players, and shows his backside so much. It is something he has a rep for, and is not quite taken as seriously for it, but that does not make it ok in many situations. Not everybody takes it so jovially.
I think he still posts over there, but have not been over there reading a whole bunch of threads at once, to know whether he posts all the time still.
Cane-man.....winter crappie fishing on Grand in a heated dock is very relaxing and as for roller derby....I prefer the Bay Area Bombers....you're welcome.
I think we have a little crowd think going on here as well. Two or four people took the step off the cliff, and everybody followed. I realize there have been signs, but not as many as the group dive warranted.
I think the right people dove around the same time because there is a mutual cynicism that was already enveloping the college sports world. With the portal, nil, conference realignment, a new 'excluding' power group trying to form, etc, etc., it is bringing the fortress of gloom upon us. It's not surprising that the board has gone a little too far down the dark end of the street.
Fly fishing is a goal, and fishing in an ice house on a frozen lake is a breath of fresh air.
That is definitely a skill, I never have learned how to, they mostly do that for trout , would love to learn how to though
He’s Twilley’s son, not grandson. I don’t agree with rooting against Tulsa (even to speed up the coaching change) or some other things he posts, but he is definitely a TU alumnus and fan.
He wants what every other TU fan wants, a successful athletic department, especially football & men’s basketball programs. We are currently as far away from successful in those combined programs as we have been in 40+ seasons. The frustration & disappointment is real for a large portion of longtime Tulsa fans.
I get your point, but it’s not a good look for him to be openly trashing his own school on the aac message boards (which he does constantly). There aren’t many TU fans over there (for good reason - that place is a cesspool), but the couple who post regularly over there definitely aren’t good ambassadors for the university.
Speaking of crazy, I wonder whatever happened to Original. He spewed his hate around here for years and now seems to have vanished. I guess nonstop complaining about Montgomery and Haith finally wore him out.
Reread the comments. During the Burns era we at least had high quality basketball.
