Should I play the part of heckling moron at the next home game…ala the guy from happy gilmore?

So when I was a student at TU, me and a friend would pick a target at each home game and heckle mercilessly until we could get them to react. We got a Fresno State women's player to flip us off simply because we rained "airball" on her...but when the arena is mostly empty and we're screaming it at the top of our lungs, it tends to get heard. Billy Tubbs told us to "Shut the **** up" at their last WAC tourney which we hosted. Howard Schnellenberger told his security personnel to get us to shut up after we sang "Here comes Santa Claus" when he came back on for the 2nd half of the Thanksgiving game vs Louisville. We also got their kicker to flip us off because we kept calling him the Roly Poly Kicker. That was also the game Jeff Brohn got Jeff Brohm's by Jeremy Bunch.

Anyway, I could try to convince him to come down for the last home game and we can sit right behind the TU bench...pretty sure we could get him to walk off the field before halftime.

“Put Bennie in, you son of a $&@/%” was the trigger.

Let's just resurrect and then send Richard Kiel chasing after him in a full sprint.

How can you vote for a bigger nut job than Trump? If he was a sort of ok candidate in comparison, that's one thing...

Just a protest vote resulting from having Harris and Trump as the candidates. I don’t disagree with you regarding RFK.

15.2% lead in Tulsa county for Trump, 1.7% lead in OKC. Much more liberal in OKC.

Bonus vote: 1.1% for Kennedy in both Tulsa & OKC

Good policy, post 2015.

I just don't know. Suspect there is also a growing rural versus urban divide in the state, though I've not looked at the numbers. I'd not be shocked if the cities proper of OKC and Tulsa were very competitive in the presidential election, based on how they vote in mayoral contests. But again - I am not studied in politics.

Agree. Looking at Tulsa County which has very few areas I would consider rural, Trump won by 15% compared to 34% statewide. I believe parts of the OKC area were even closer than that.

On a different note, how in 2024 can California only have 58% of the vote counted 3 days after the election? It takes Florida 3 hours to count 98%.

The only way your boss or the people at church would know your party, would be if you told them. Independents were a little bit up or down from 10% from the years 1980=2016. The republicans have been better at getting voters to the polls which accounts for us voting in republican Presidents.

I doubt it. The republican party won't let democrats or independents vote in their primaries and will fight this hard. Whereas the democrats don't mind if the independents want to vote in their primaries. The republicans will fight this with a passion. Seeing as how Republicans are massively the majority in this state, it probably won't pass if it ever came up for a vote.(which it probably never will, seeing as how said republican politicians won't even entertain the thought of putting it to the people.)

Dems let independents vote in their primaries because Oklahoma Independents are basically Dems that want to remain anonymous..

Agreed. How could anyone in the center of the aisle appreciate anyone who got some of the most conservative members of Congress / politics like the Cheneys to support them? It was a no-good liberal trick. Glad you didn’t fall for it.

Cant believe Aston is singing the praises of the Neo-Cons.

Maybe we could find a way to get him into a verbal altercation with a player’s parent just like JD Barnett. That would help speed things up.

That's what I was thinking. TU is not the place to fire coaches midseason unless they've done something egregiously unethical. He's playing out the string or he's preparing to resign/retire after the next blowout and letting one of his other coaches take the reigns to pad their resumes for other jobs. Sad thing is I think we have some good assistants. I like Switzer a lot and think of him in the same vein as Milkman. Up and comer and soon to be coaching star.
