ECU has fired their HC

No comparison to our situation, just looking for reaction to a Coaching record and how you would respond if you were the AD. How long would you stick with a coach with the following record?
Year 1. 2-9
Year 2. 3-8
Year 3. 6-5
Year 4. 6-5
Year 5. 5-6
Year 6. 2-9
Would you dismiss after year 2, 3, ….?

Was disappointed with the TU apparel selection. My understanding is that TU is not easy to work with on the licensing 🙁

At this point, I am saying yes...

a national TV News station was reporting on a fire in the hills in southern Arizona, just 14 miles north of the State Capital in Tucson.

I love calling a QB keeper from the shotgun on 4th and 1 instead of a sneak and pushing the pile.*

There are usually games in the season where a team can't afford to lose. This game for Tulsa against Temple is one of them. If Tulsa (2-4, 0-2 AAC) is going to have any realistic chance of at least being a .500 team and going to a bowl, winning at Temple Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field is essential.

Are we going to beat Bye this week?
Most years there are a lot of predictions of the final score.
I think we will win.

There is a rivalry from the Tulsa area listed.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane and the Temple Owls meet Saturday in college football action from Lincoln Financial Field. Here’s a Temple vs Tulsa prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Temple vs Tulsa pick.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane Betting Preview​

Tulsa kicked off the year with a 62-28 blowout win over Northwestern State, then lost 28-24 to Arkansas State and 45-10 versus Oklahoma State in the next pair. The Hurricane beat Louisiana Tech 23-20 in overtime then lost to North Texas 52-20 in a blowout.

Tulsa’s latest outing was another loss, this time to Army. The Hurricane gave up 35 points across the second and third quarters for a 49-7 blowout defeat. QB Kirk Francis threw for just 84 yards, and Cooper Legas rushed 17 times for 81 yards and a score to lead the rush.

Temple Owls Betting Preview​

Over on the Temple side, they got off to an 0-3 start this year, stumbling out of the gate. The Owls were beaten by Oklahoma 51-3, Navy 38-11 and Coastal Carolina 28-20 before a 45-29 win over Utah State. Game five was another loss, this time 42-14 to Army.

In the UConn matchup back on October 5, the Owls were down 16-13 going into the fourth quarter and ended up losing 29-20. Forrest Brock posted 136 yards with an interception. Terre Worthy carried 12 times for 95 yards, and Dante Wright caught eight balls for 67 yards.

Temple vs Tulsa Prediction​

I’ll lean toward Tulsa I suppose. The Hurricane had some trouble against a good Army team in their last outing, giving up 481 total yards (321 rushing) and 10.5 yards per play. Tulsa posted just 268 yards (109 passing) and 3.7 yards per play on the other side. That makes 24 or fewer points in five straight games.

As for Temple, they had eight penalties, three turnovers, 270 yards (136 passing) and 16 first downs in a pretty limp effort versus UConn in their last game. The Owls defense was pretty good though, and kept the team in the game. I like Tulsa slightly better cover/win-wise in this matchup, but you could make a case either way.

Andrew's Free Pick: Tulsa Golden Hurricane +1.5​

There are usually games in the season where a team can't afford to lose. This game for Tulsa against Temple is one of them. If Tulsa (2-4, 0-2 AAC) is going to have any realistic chance of at least being a .500 team and going to a bowl, winning at Temple Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field is essential.

Since we are seeing an increasing number of firebombings related to pro-abortion activists, I thought I would just go ahead and create a thread to keep track of them all, since the legacy media is basically ignoring these stories.

Two firefighters injured, $150,000 damage in NY. No pregnant women inside at the time.

No suspects. Presumed peaceful protesters likely involved.

IRVING, Texas – Defending American Athletic Conference champion UAB has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the 2024-25 American men’s basketball title in voting done by the league’s head coaches, the conference announced Friday, October 11.

I talked to Tristan Lawyer briefly after he attended a TU camp in June. Since he committed to Tulsa a few weeks ago, our staff has not been able to get in touch with him, so we went ahead and threw out this brief story...

6-4 and 225-pound LB Tristan Lawyer recently chose Tulsa over offers from Washington State, Baylor and others.

My goodness that burned my eyes to watch this

6-foot-7 and 300-pound offensive lineman Maddox Huber picked up an offer from Tulsa in August and took an official visit to TU on the weekend of October 4. Afterward, he had plenty of good things to say about the Golden Hurricane.

Really thought we were going to be done with these discussions for awhile but here we go again
