I've never been a fan of field level anything in sports. I like to be just above the action. Good idea but you will be staring at helmets all game.

Field level baseball is ok.. track level nascar sucks..

I am too much of a chess player to really like field level football or courtside basketball... i like to see the plays develop

For all the bad and repetitive grammar of Sittler, he's far better than Haisten, Kelly, & the wrong Tramel.

Berry Tramel is a good writer who has a conception of the landscape. His grasp of Oklahoma athletic history is as good as any writer in Oklahoma.

Unfortunately, what he wrote is the truth.

College football is the minor league of the NFL anyway, and now, universities have a salary cap of 20 million a year for athletes. This does not even include NIL money.

I love the pageantry, but the constant movement around the portal and the players' pay ruin much of it.

This is professional athletics all the way around. If you don't believe it, you are dumber than dirt.

Definitely not at the writing level as his cousin. And it appears he doesn’t have the personality that Jimmie has. I used to talk with Jimmie about TU football/basketball when he was covering sports at the World. He wasn’t stuck on himself and provided great info. He seems to be a very nice man. At least that was my opinion of him.

He may be trying to outdo Bill Haisten in degrading the quality of TU athletics and tries to instill this attitude into the community of Tulsa.

These type of articles “do not inspire me to want to read more”….

We’re running a $2T a year deficit and one party is wanting more tax cuts and the other is pushing new spending programs. WTF is wrong with these people and shame on the media for not calling them all out.

Kamala and the Master Command Sargeant Major just promised middle class tax cuts..

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.".. Michelle Obama.

Whose pie is she talking about?.. She gets $1MM a speech and owns $40MM in houses in 3 different states plus DC

A lot of this stuff really started to decline at an unprecedentedly high rate under Obama, though I’m certain that had more to do with someone not wanting to be made fun of/being called big Mike lmao speaking of your parents being suspicious of those who take more than they need what about y’all’s friends’ kids w call your own what about your half dozen multimillion dollar homes

Speaking of taking how bout those protests outside the DNC lmao speaking of taking lmao

Our young padawan(4th string QB) doesn't hurt our depth either.

So we’ve been looking at a bucket list trip taking Amtrak out to the west coast to visit my sister in law near San Diego. I lamented how the app could get me there but not back and the unfriendliness of it for users.

Then they updated the app and now it seems to work much better. Still haven’t reserved our spot on the train yet. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Which route are you thinking about taking? I'd love to do the northern route someday or the middle one through the rockies but those would be pretty dang inconvenient for you to get to San Diego. The two southern routes don't hold much interest for me but maybe I'm missing things.

I haven't lived in OK for a very long time but it feels to me that OKC doesn't just want to win, they want Tulsa to lose. Like making Tulsa smaller makes them look bigger. True or not?

It seems like they have a vendetta with the city.

OKC is thinking about OKC.

They think there is more state level funding support to add a connection to Newton. And they are right. Both OK and KS are somewhat supportive whereas no state players give a crap about service to Tulsa.

There's talk about adding more departures on the enhanced Twin Cities to Chicago line because ridership has been good. It's a good route, it's a terrible and boring drive that can often be very long because of traffic and the total time is not that much longer than futzing around with flying. And of course it's easy to get around Chicago without a car. Need to find more of those routes to be useful for everyday riders.

Fortunately it is the fed that has the interest rates file. It's mainly blah blah blah we are hearing as long as we don't shock the market with a huge stimulus or massive tax rise.

That's the reason Trump back off his earlier statements of him saying he should have the right to control interest rates. He knew he couldn't, and was doing himself harm with statements that he should be able to. It was a statement that he could never back up.

Well at least on the women's basketball side I think were fine being that Nelp is from Canadian down near Eufaula.

The Democrats are making all these big claims that they are saving Democracy, and thus are the anointed. If they are 'saving' democracy, it is only by keeping Trump out of office, not because they are enabling these new policies. It's not the policies you are putting in, it's only the policies of Trump being halted, that democracy might be helped. So far, the policies that the democrats have proposed generally cause democracy harm, just less harm than those proposed by Trump. "Go with less harm', should be the motto of Democrats.

Both interest & prices mean slowing down economic growth. So his rantings, ravings, and promises are to bring on a recession? Kamala too. It's ridiculous how much they are ignoring the side effects of their promises. As long as it sounds good to the ignorant, they'll use it as a campaign promise.
