Shooting nearly 70 percent from the field is insane. It just doesn't happen much. That's one reason Tulsa coaches were encouraged about the arrival of 6-foot-8 forward Bryant Selebangue this season. His 69.8 percent field goal percentage in juco last year showed he could finish, and he’s continued that stellar play for TU this season.

Having trouble linking them but Willie Fritz Mohawk and Mike Norvell Cornrows are classics

When I took my first bite of brisket I knew that these folks are serious. Tender, juicy, nice bark and peppery beef flavor. I got one pork rib as an add-on; it was equally awesome.

Their sauces are tasty, but I just dabbed my bread in them. The meats did not need sauce.

They had a reasonably good crowd but far from packed. Hope the word of mouth helps. This is excellent Q.

We are terrible. It defies reason. They had 25+ assists. They don’t get assists. Everything we are doing is bad.

The offense seems to be built around Griffin. That’s a mistake.

I’m in Dallas just hanging out and I’d rather stay at my hotel and work on billing. On a National holiday. That’s how bad we are.

I can’t describe how down I am on this right now. Other than the recruits, I see nothing improving any time soon.

Is this an important one?

Sources: Kevin Wilson bringing highly regarded Ohio State staffer to run Tulsa defense, Will He Keep the 3-3-5​

“Matt Guerrieri had a long run at Duke, reunited in 2022 at Ohio State with Jim Knowles

Back as a head coach for the first time in six years, Kevin Wilson is working to assemble a strong first staff at Tulsa, and he's got his defensive coordinator in a key move.”

Other Games of Interest (Expansion Teams, Possible Teams and TU Women)

Who to keep (some may choose to leave though)
1. Selebangue
2. Griffin
3. Betson
4. Pritchard (if he is willing to accept an 8-12 min role as backup PG)
5-7. All 3 Freshmen

Add the 3 signed players and that still leaves 3 openings for portal/JUCO players

Expectations:

I think a lot of us are giving Konkol a little bit of a pass this year and maybe even next to an extent. We know the crap show he inherited and the turn around will take a couple years. What he has shown already on the recruiting trail and the style of play he brings has a lot of us excited. Here is my question, Wilson coming in is inheriting a team that isn't where it should be but is miles ahead of where our basketball team was. Do we still give him a complete pass for next year as long as we see the pieces being put together, or is there a higher expectation because he is starting in a better off position? Also, higher expectation because there is more money on the line. What are your thoughts? How much of a pass are you willing to give, what is your minimum expectations? Are you evaluating by wins or more by style of play? How big is recruitment stars going to factor in (especially since Wilson said he probably wouldn't be going after 4 stars and above, not his exact words but more his sentiment)?

USC getting away with holding and WR picks but Tulane ties it up at 14 with a 80 plus yard TD. Go Wave!

That was a clear TD

Congrats Tulane

Ok, I’ve finished shoveling 8 inches of snow off my driveway and sidewalk and I’m ready for some hoops!

I will always love this team, this school, and this city. Right now, it’s time for some tough love. We just don’t have talent. With a few obvious exceptions, every roster spot needs to be open to a transfer in the spring. This may be our worst team in my life time.

I didn’t go. I have more important things to do that make me happy. I couldn’t get anyone to take my awesome seats. My friend and family are the top 1% of TU fans. I’m sorry. It used to be I could count the games I’d missed in this arena on one hand, even when I lived out of state. Ever since 2020, this has been brutal.

They asked John Dillinger why he robbed banks.

”That‘s where the money is.”

Texas is where the players are!

For selfish reasons, seems it would be better for Georgia to win and have Coach Wilson locked into Tulsa football a week earlier.

One of the themes that keeps bothering me is the increasing purchases of various types of health care practices by private equity groups with increasingly pernicious results. These purchases involve loading up the acquired business with debt which adds substantial pressure to reduce staffing and expenses to meet debt service and profit goals. Congress is now looking as excesses in the hospice area, and ER docs are beginning to push back on pressures to pare down care by the financial side of the business. Several years ago the concept of "government death panels" was a hot political issue but profit driven death panels run by employees earning bonuses by meeting financial goals is worse.

Private equity’s ER staffing practices attract fire

ORU has offered. A coach on the floor........ Will be interesting to see if bigger schools get involved. Unanimous MVP selection from Tournament of Champions. 6'3" guard from 2A Dale Championship team.

Why was Gillespie not hired as our head coach? We chose to hire a re-tread P5 coordinator who already failed at Indiana instead.

Everywhere Gillespie goes, a dominant defense follows. We developed so many talented players and had a crushing defense under him.

Now TCU is headed to the National championship. Why was he not offered the head coaching position?

As ugly as the game was for Tulsa against No. 3 Houston, sadly, it was completely expected. The Cougars showed why they are a juggernaut, destroying TU 89-50 Wednesday night in front of 4,807 fans at the Reynolds Center.
