The lack of danger was bue to the receiver of the cross. Pepi whiffed on two Musah balls that were delivered right to his feet.

Oh. Didn't realize the 2nd sister was already in college.

Yes. Exactly. Many of those people are gone. Substantive reform buys you time. But it’s a results oriented business. You have to win too. And you have to think about college football in terms of decades and centuries.

Carson has been in the Middle East negotiating educational exchange agreements with an alum who is building the second tallest building in the world. You think he cares right now about whether we go 5-7 and keep who we want on the roster? Probably but it’s not a huge focus. But I would think, I don’t know, that he cares more about TU football being stronger than today 10 years from now and finding and funding people to handle that.

Geez if only there was someone in the school who was responsible for sports teams and revenue generation/sports donations to make it easier for the President to have his attention on other things.

These are excuses. Brad has said he understands that TU athletics is the front door to the University for the vast majority of Tulsa, but we are still not acting like it.

Amazing how our applications increase and the overall level of our applicants rise when we have athletic success. More amazing is how little this small private university is thought about when we are bad at sportsball.

The AD isn't in the middle east and only has one focus. TU again is dropping the ball and every poster here should be pissed.

Always too soft, long passes are never accurate, but most are backwards towards our net. He knows his passing sucks but never improves.

What surprised me was Jedi in central defense. Had to be a Pochettino tweak but it worked fine. He's such a great player he can play anywhere in defense. Never been a fan of Scally and last night wasn't any different. His passes suck...long or short.

Scally was fine last night. I understand what you're saying because his passes, IMO, are too soft. Pass with some pace and purpose. Last night was fine though. Tessman was also good last night. Not great and he certainly isn't Adams.

The US formation almost looked like a 2-4-3-1 last night but the middle 7 all looked interchangeable as they were all over the field. I think the 4th US goal started with a Jedi step in and interception before he dribbled to the outside of the box and slipped the pass wide to Musah who then flipped the cross to Weah.

Stailee Heard plays for OSU. She was their second leading scorer as a freshman last season and was named to the Big12 all freshmen team. Very good player.

Which sucks because Nelp was after her hard last year and she chose OSU instead. Apparently that didn't stick. Not only does she have one parent who played at TU, she has 2 as Tony Heard is married to Lila Osceola who played at TU as well.

As for the game, I could only follow the score. Disappointing and some of the other players need to step up and put the ball in the basket.

Just showed Tony Heard on the broadcast. His daughter apparently plays for Oru. Unfortunately.

The interesting score of the night was #19 Wisconsin edging out UT Rio Grand 87-84. When I saw this on ESPN I was like Wisconsin is going to murder them but nope. UTRGV hung in that joint.

Mcneese beats north Texas 68-61. North Texas beat Minnesota earlier this season so that might say something about mcneese or Minnesota

Wichita state over Monmouth 70-66 at home

UAB expectantly beats down Auburn Montgomery 109-64

Georgia state over toccoa falls 106-66

Texas tech over pine bluff 98-64

Tulsa has only played 1 of those in Temple. ECU coach was fired before we played them.

First goal assist was McKennie it appears.

The service on Pulisic’s first goal was from McKennie. That half volley was beautiful. We’re a much more dangerous team with Weah on the pitch. Second half defense could have been better but the result was never in doubt. Musah played very well tonight and if not for a couple of whiffs he would have had more assists.
