Looking like last year’s players playing like last year. There were going to be games like this. Need more big guys.

AP recap...

Nice comeback against a pretty good team. It’s a shame it got ugly in end. Refs were crap and inconsistent.

We are too small, but play hard. Griffin is great.

Will abortion save the Dem majorities in the House and Senate or will the economy and Biden’s poor job approval result in a red wave giving the Pubs majorities in both chambers?

Current prediction (I will change it weekly until Election Day):

Pubs gain 25 seats in the House and take the majority

Senate ends up 50/50. Several close races which could go either way here.

ITS Game Day!!!

That was an absolutely great game and I got my voice back from screaming at the top of my lungs last night. The Drunk Massachusetts guy was screaming as well. It was great fun. Thought a couple times Nevada was going to knock the guysbeer over lol. IT was tremendous. All of the teams in the tournament except for Tulsa had a decent fan following yesterday. I believe I was the only fan under 60 there for Tulsa.

Tonight we play Charlotte. This is a preview of next years conference game match up. I am happy Charlotte is coming to the AAC because that will get me another game to go to with me on the East Coast. Murray St. and Massachusetts are the game previous to TU and will set up the Championship game Sunday afternoon.

We have a few tourneys starting. UCF and OSU face off in the Bahamas at the Baha Mar. Georgetown and LMU face off in Montego Bay, Jamaica in the Jamaican Classic

Temple faces Rutgers at the Mohegan Sun for the Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase.

Great games today but I will be at the HTC center getting my Myrtle Beach on.

Tulsa Football plays at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN2. That is all I will say on that.

And One

When Nevada and I got to the arena yesterday we went to the concession stand and the guy behind the counter said “You guys came from Oklahoma?” We told him that we didn’t and he had a puzzled look on his face. I told him we were from the Tulsa area but he lives in Nevada and I live in Virginia. Then that afternoon I got to have a short conversation with Coach Conroy and Coach Haymond. Great times. Let get another win.

GO TU!!!!

Today’s games


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

The past and the future both shined for Tulsa on Senior Night, showing what has been and what can be. The "old" guys like Deneric Prince and Keylon Stokes had terrific nights, and Braylon Braxton came through with his first win as a starter at quarterback. The result was a 48-42 Tulsa win over South Florida on Friday night in front of an announced crowd of 13,819 at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

The ultimate in indifference..

Was what we heard last year ! 😆 Do any of you think we should have an official answer to his future the day after the Houston game ?

We can’t let Kahlifa on the inside.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This guy can coach. We have some players, this is fun. Reminds me of Self.

Here are where the 8 teams in this tournament stand before the tournament, with their Ken Pom ratings in parenthesis. The ratings are going to be a bit off this early in the season due to a lack of sample size, but it is what I tend to check to gauge where teams stand in D1. It is going to be a tough tournament for us, there are a lot of good teams in it this year.

• Texas A&M (31): 2-0
• Colorado (59): 2-1
• Loyola Chicago (70): 2-0
• Boise St (83): 1-1
• Murray St (140): 1-1
• Charlotte (152): 2-0
• UMass (155): 1-1
• Tulsa (161): 1-1

So we don't add it onto another thread this time.

I doubt we can keep up the great 3-point and free throw shooting throughout the season but we can hope. After 3 games, we’re #40 in the nation at 40.3% on 3-pointers and 19th, 79.7% on free throws.

If we maintain those percentages we’ll win a bunch of games. In 3-point shooting, Griffin is shooting 10-23, 43.5%, Betson 7-11, 63.6%, Embery-Simpson 5-12, 41.7% and Dalger 5-10, 50%.

In free throw shooting Dalger is 8-10, 80%, Griffin 8-9, 88.9% and Betson 11-13, 84.6%, Gatson-Chapman 8-10, 80%, Selebangue 11-15, 73.3% and Embery-Simpson 3-4, 75%.

I’m really pleased to see our 2 big men Dalger and Selebangue shooting free throws so well, since they most likely will get to the line often.

Job well done last night. I wasn’t able to watch or follow the game due to helping out a friend but I’ll try to watch the game today.

I can't make tonight's game but I have 4 ten yard line end zone tickets for free if anyone is interested.

We played just ok. We have a way to go. There are positive signs.

Jackson State is a good example of bad sportsmanship. Very mouthy. At times I wasn’t sure they knew what the rules are.

When a once promising season turns into a major disappointment, including no shot at a bowl, like it has for Tulsa, it is incredibly deflating. On the upside, on senior day, Tulsa is playing a really bad opponent -- South Florida (1-9, 0-6 AAC). With Tulsa favored to win by 13.5 points, it would be a shocker if TU doesn't prevail Friday night at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

Sam Griffin had 20 points in Tulsa’s 85-66 victory over Loyola Chicago on Thursday.

Drank coffee too late the in day yesterday afternoon, so I was awake and tossing and turning from like 3:30-6:00am. Anyway, one of the random things racing through my mind was whether or not Tulsa is in the running for any MLS expansion franchises in the next decade or two?

If we realistically are, what are the top things that need to happen to make it a reality?

If we’re not, is that just a done deal and I can forget about it or are there some realistic things we could do to move ourselves into that conversation?
