Possibly TU's greatest road game, although there as many TU fans in the seats.

Thought I would put this in here, if only for reference of who has been hired and who has not. Hasn't named anybody from the former staff yet. He has covered almost half of his staff in short order. I will add to this as people are announced.

When the staff came in they were extremely pressed for time. A longer duration to recruit, sure you would spend more time in Texas and other places too. Yet, as I mentioned, and we all know, with coaches being “thoughtfully“ added to the staff, along with time compression, I thought the staff did well.

Thoughts:

1. Before you take your boat across the lake just simply fish off your own dock at the marina, recruit here in Oklahoma. The staff fished off their own dock, and they did well.

2. We all know. This program has had to ALWAYS swing and fight way above its weight class. This years class is another example of taking kids in who need a new position, were undiscovered, need more time in the weight room, etc..

3. Not a criticism but an observation, no portal transfer offensive lineman. Possibly when the spring portal opens up after spring practices across the nation wrap up? We’ll see another flurry of players hit the portal.

The staff was thoughtful and deliberate. We all know there’s a lot of moving parts to a college football team.

ITS GAMEDAY!!!

Tulsa hosts Wichita State this afternoon. The men are looking to get a win coming off a 3 game losing streak.
The only other game today is Houston traveling to Philly to take on Temple.

And One

Oklahoma and Texas have not been approved to leave the Big12 early. The teams are supposed to leave in 2025 for the SEC but negotiations stalled as I figured they would. There is still a shot of them leaving early but the chances are slim to none and slim is packing his bags.

GO TU!!!

What was an abysmal performance with seemingly zero energy for most of the game turned somewhat interesting. Intensity was amped up when it seemed like there was no hope. In the end, it wasn't nearly enough, as archrival Wichita State prevailed 86-75 Sunday afternoon in front of 3,754 fans at the Reynolds Center.

Hope we have a good crowd today. The shockers usually travel well.

I'll post links in this thread to all of our stories on 2023 prospects, plus visit lists, Junior Day info and more. It will be a good place to get familiar with who TU is recruiting. Also, keep an eye on the 2023 TU Football Offers thread and our Front page...

An in-depth recap of the 2023 recruiting cycle and National Signing Day activity for Tulsa, and a look at what remains.

A recap of the day can be found in the Official Tulsa Signing Day Thread.

Here's a look at the signing class, as well as the scholarship transfers:

Who out of the 2023 class do you all hope we successfully recruit at the local level?


Camden is my vote. Absolute beast on all 3 sides of the ball. If the officials had been less worried about Dale Condict's legacy and falling over themselves about the Rodriguez/OSWho connections and more worried about doing their job with impartiality, he would have a gold ball right now, too. Cam is a lot like Zaven, very versatile and under the radar.

Another example of how insurance company will put profits ahead of medical care. And people worry about government death panels

If anyone is interested I will be zooming my signing ceremony in the next few weeks. I have narrowed my decision down to the vehicle but am playing three dealers against each other. They will all be invited to watch the zoom ceremony and I have asked each for a logo hat. I am going to use all the drama I can muster when finalizing the hat to place on my head. Although I don’t get any NIL money I am hoping to get my manufacture signing bonus. 😁

PS if I don’t sign with Haiston’s preferred dealer he can write regular columns asking why they didn’t make more of an effort to get me!

Just a note to Huffy concerning your post in the ‘Fishing off your own dock’ thread re: KW on the football board.

I’m not naïve to the situation that brought KW here. I don’t have the inside info you do, but I’m not clueless. It‘s never bad to post some puffery on the public board for recruits and their families to read, which is what I was doing.

Perhaps you should move your post here. Just a suggestion.

ITS GAME DAY!!!

The men and women both play Cincinnati today. The men will be in Cincinnati and the women will host Cincinnati. Both games are on ESPN+. The women are looking to stop a three game losing streak.

Todays games

Three American games are on today. The other two are on ESPNU.
Bedlam is today when the Pokes visit the Sooners on ESPN2.

GO TU!!!

Tulsa down 18 at the half. Turnovers killing us!

As signing day unfolds on Wednesday, February 1, let's try to keep the discussion focused in this one thread. I've had a long day, so not sure how early I'll be up.

Other than the current commits, here's who to watch tomorrow:

We need something to watch to remember the better times.

A bunch of info I've gathered over the past few weeks, all dumped into one big article.

I have hesitated posting this and even thought it should go on the general board or crossfire but watching this guy talk is just too funny to pass on. Login to view embedded media

Someone asked in the other thread about the women’s injuries and since some people don’t want women’s BB discussed in the same thread as the men I started this one.

Evans tore her knee up in the KU game and is out for the season. Young was injured a couple of games ago tried to play against SMU but re-injured - I think it was leg related. Maddie B was knocked down hard near the basket in the 4th qtr of the SMU game. She was rubbing either her wrist or hand afterward and didn’t play last night. Based on Pooh’s comment I don’t think she will be out for long. Levings was injured earlier in the year and last night didn’t play any in the second half possibly re-injured. It seems most of our injuries are due to contact or hard falls during the games.

The freshmen are stepping it up. Lyles had a great shooting night, Periman rebounds well, blocked some shots and had a great drive blowing by the defender, Mathew’s didn’t play as much last night but in the SMU game played well. I suspect if Maddie doesn’t return quickly Lyles and Mathews may get more time rather than Gallegos. Gallegos not shooting well. Periman is becoming a regular down low.

More great news. I remember having Paul Brown for classes during my time at TU.

Great article from @Larry Lewis

I’m unable to log in to the Alley and too lazy to fix it.

Sorry.

We are terrible. I don’t understand what is going on. I am not watching most of our games for the first time since i was in middle school.

Nothing is sacred anymore. I have a little more insight into this one than I will say here, but I have to hope people will get behind this institution.
