Cayden McFarland had a nice interview with Anthony Watkins tonight.
Anthony lost his brother in the summer of 2022. Then he was academically ineligible for the 2022 season.
He stayed enrolled at Tulsa and has graduated. Working towards his Masters degree.
Wilson said he has really grown as a person, is in great shape and very proud of Anthony.
I hope he has a big season. Hard not to be a big fan of Anthony after watching the interview.
Go Tulsa.

Look it up.

No fact checking?

Tulsa Football added another highly-recruited prospect to its 2025 commitment list this week. Bryan (TX) Rudder athlete Jaquise Martin chose TU on Wednesday over offers from Nebraska, Texas Tech, New Mexico, UTEP, Texas State, Arkansas State and others. The 6-foot, 190-pounder visited the Tulsa campus in March for spring practice and again in June, developing a strong bond with TU receivers coach Ryan Switzer.

So the annual Festival de San Fermin, including the 7 days of the running of the bulls in Pamplona kicked off Sunday/Monday. Back when I was younger (and AESPN would show the final day's running live on ESPN) I used to host a watch party that began at midnight because the actual running occurred at 8am local Spanish time (2am Tulsa time). ESPN's production was always done right too...they'd have a "Starting Line Up" of the 6 bulls including weight, breeder, horn span (tip to tip), etc. Then they'd recap the previous day providing stats (total run time, injuries, # of gorings). Most of the run last between 2:15-2:30 and anything over 3 minutes and you knew there was some nastiness along the course.

Anyway, there is a YouTube has a channel called RTVE where you can watch live or for us old farts who can't stay up that late anymore, you can watch the next day. They don't do the starting lineups or stats, but they do have a highlights clip of each day called Los Mejores Momentos (Major Moments).

Perhaps the biggest question mark on the team, and possibly the most important, is how well Tulsa's offensive line will play this season.

Went to womens practice today first thing I will say is Nelp can really coach. Delanie is back full speed and looked good. Of the new girls McKayla Miller looked good all our veterans looked good. Including Denise , Hadley and Maddie of course Delanie looked the best. The new big girl had a brace on her knee so not practicing today. Again I will say Nelp makes a difference. Denise made two or three steals

Perhaps the biggest question mark on the team, and possibly the most important, is how well Tulsa's offensive line will play this season.

Im guessing there was a site update?

Everything is extemely boxy now and its not easy on the eyes. Previously most things had soft edges and now everything is very defined and sharp. Also, the dark version is almost impossible to see with our dark blue thread words. I have visual looming syndrome, also known as SEES (Sharp-Edge Eye Syndrome). Sharp points are hard to look at and cause pain in the eyes and head. This is killer for me.

God, reading his columns is such a breath of fresh air. He has taken a big step up in quality for the paper.

For those of you that can't bother to subscribe to your local paper for the price of Netflix, you suck.

Does anybody know when 1st day of practice takes place?

Banks Bowen @banks_bowen is expecting a big season this fall at 6A Lawrence High. The 6’3” 200 lb 2025 quarterback did it all last year with 1017 yards rushing and 1676 passing yards. With multiple D1 offers, Bowen recently committed to Tulsa to continue his football career. He was a first team Sports in Kansas non-senior pick last year.

It isn't like there was an explosion in tight end production in the passing game last year at Tulsa, but there was a marked increase. And that could significantly increase again this year with a plethora of talented tight ends on the roster that hasn't been seen in Tulsa in many years. Second-year coach Kevin Wilson has shown in past coaching stints he will use the tight end. But it also depends on how good his tight ends are.

Go Hurricane!!

We kick off our summer position analysis series on Tulsa Football with an in-depth look at the Hurricane quarterbacks.

If anyone had predicted Kamdyn Benjamin was going to be TU's best and most indispensable receiver last year, you would think they would be a time traveler coming back to the present with inside information. There was just no tangible reason to think that. The evidence wasn't there. But Benjamin's heart can't be measured by evidence. He wanted it, prepared, believed and finally got his chance. And when he got his chance, he delivered.

The American Athletic Conference has released its 2024-25 men’s basketball schedule, set to run from December 29, 2024, through May 9, 2025. The season culminates in the American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Championship at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas from May 12-16.
Tulsa’s schedule includes 12 conference opponents, with six played twice (home and away) and the remaining six split evenly between home games at the Donald W. Reynolds Center and away fixtures.
At home, Tulsa will host Charlotte, East Carolina, and Florida Atlantic. Last season, Tulsa faced East Carolina and Florida Atlantic on the road and defeated Charlotte at home in a closely contested late February game. Florida Atlantic, under new head coach John Jakus, enters the season after consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
Tulsa will return to FedExForum for the first time in three seasons to face Memphis in a road-only game. They will also travel to face South Florida, the regular-season tournament champions, and North Texas, marking their first trip since the Mean Green joined the conference.
The Golden Hurricane will have home-and-home series against UAB, Tulane, Wichita State, Rice, Temple, and UTSA, all regular season tournament champions.
Head coach Eric Konkol, entering his third season, led Tulsa to a 16-15 overall record and a 7-11 conference mark in 2023-24.
Returning players include seniors Jared Garcia and junior Isaiah Barnes, along with graduate guard Keaston Willis, who brings over 1,600 points and 300 3-pointers to the team despite missing most of last season due to injury. Also returning are American All-Freshman selections Tyshawn Archie and Matt Reed, along with junior Jesaiah McWright, all of whom played significant roles off the bench last season.
Tulsa’s squad for the upcoming season will feature seven newcomers, a mix of transfers and true freshmen.

These are separate transactions, but both were reported on today. If you really want to talk about college athletics being something we won't even recognize in a few years, inviting in PE will certainly achieve that.

Of course, won't be long until the other power conferences are following along and the AAC gets left further behind.

The stage is set for one of the biggest jury deliberations in the history of our country ?

Reading through the updates it sounds like trump's lawyer did not do a bang up job.
