📝 Larry Lewis Tulsa RB Anthony Watkins continues to bounce back from adversity

Hopefully our OL dominates Northwestern St, such that we have room to run and make completions. If they are dominant, it will give me hope that they might be able to open up running lanes and pass protect by the skin of their teeth for the rest of the season.

I don't think I realized he lost his brother before he became academically ineligible. That definitely explains the reason for that. It's tough to lose someone close and keep your thoughts and actions on your studies. Must have been devastating after he lost his father. I lost a close friend in my sophomore year in college.

Berry Tramel appears to call TU Football the New JUCO of Football

I feel I should comment about Berry Tramel. When I was covering TU for the Oklahoman, Berry was terrific to work for. He gave me great assignments. He was the sports editor my first 2 years there in 2000-2001. He was pushing for expanding coverage for TU and in the Tulsa area, and the Oklahoman covered more Tulsa stuff then than any other time I know of. After he quit being the sports editor there to just write, which he prefers, coverage for TU slowly started to go down. By the my last year there in 2006, it has whittled down to next-to-nothing.

Berry was at the press conference Monday. He didn't have to be. He could have watched the online feed. He lives in OKC.
