Today’s Scrimmage
- Thread starter dlsnid
- Start date
Chris won't tell you over there unless he hears it in December or January. If Chris did know anything and revealed it now, his sources would dry up. You need to be a little more patient.
The only thing anybody says about those scrimmages,(no matter who the teams are) is something generic like they won by double digits. Anything else would get people in trouble. And that's pushing it to say even that much at this time of the year.
The questions you ask(answers you expect) and the things you reveal are issues that get teams and individuals into trouble.

Our guys played hard and were excited to play competitively against two good D1 teams. We saw some really great improvement from our players since practice started and it also gave us the chance to see where we can improve. I think our fans are really going to enjoy this team. We have a great bunch of guys anxious to represent the University of Tulsa.
How about this answer? I think this is about all you might get. 😉

Normally, these scrimmages have been about working on different aspects of the team’s game. They can scrimmage but normally coaches like to work on things such as different zone and man defenses, against different kinds of presses. Out of bounds plays, situational circumstances like down 2 with 8 seconds left, etc.
Coaches agree to work on these things that are more difficult to do against your own players. Like trying to run out of bounds play #3 against you own players that know the play.
They might scrimmage for 10 minutes at a time or 20 minutes as in a real game. It just depends on what the coaches goals are. Playing exhibition games doesn’t allow coaches and teams to see their players in certain situations.
We used to scrimmage NE Okla State in Tahlequah with a home and away in a 2 year span
After the scrimmages the coaches and players would sit down together to eat a home cooked meal. Much, much better than the traditional cafeteria fare. Lol.
We always had an idea of who won what, but winning wasn’t the main goal of each segment of play. Gauging how much a team had learned in practices and how well they executed, was the main goal.
I know Bill Self scheduled Illinois in a scrimmage this year for a for a specific reason. He wanted to see how his players would react to playing a team with much better size than he could provide in practice or against some lesser opponent in an exhibition game.
Let’s hope we leaned some things about our team as a result of the 2 scrimmages.
