MLS on Apple TV+

So, not only are MLS games tucked away on Apple TV+ the next few years, you have to pay an additional $12.99 (for current Apple TV+ subscribers), or $15.99/month (non Apple TV+ subscribers) to watch the games. So...MLS and Apple TV are going to take a bath. The reason MLS on ESPN+ with just 2-3 games a week on over the air TV worked is because there is a ton of other interesting and good content on ESPN+. Soccer content alone on ESPN+ makes it well worth the $6.99/mo price tag. Add all the TU stuff plus NHL content (for me), plus all the NCAA content, ESPN+ is well worth it. Apple TV+ is like $5.99/mo...good enough for me to keep around for Ted Lasso and the few Apple TV+ produced movies like Coda (outstanding), Greyhound (really good), Finch (really good), and a few other shows, but to be honest, once Ted Lasso is done, I'm probably done with Apple TV. I already do Peacock for the EPL stuff but there are a ton of other shows and content on Peacock that makes it worth the $4.99/mo. Same with Paramount + and their Champions League content.

My guess is MLS is going to regret this deal pretty quickly.

Deneric Prince

I hope he puts on a show. Wish he was coming back though.

NFL Network will have more than 50 hours of live coverage of the this year's event, beginning March 2. Here's the day-by-day schedule:
  • March 2 (3 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): DL, LB
  • March 3 (3 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): DB, PK/ST
  • March 4 (1 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET): QB, WR, TE
  • March 5 (1 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET): OL, RB

Softball 2023 Thread

Ladies start the season 1-4 at some tournament. Only win against Texas Tech but then Tech blasted them the next morning. They lost 8-3 to Tech on Friday. (both teams had 8 hits...difference looks like Tech also walked 6 times). TU's pitcher seemed to be hit or miss in that game. She finished with 12 K's as well. TU didn't have as many walks and obviously couldn't get a key hit with runners on where Tech did. TU beat Tech 3-2 the next game. TU also lost 2 to UT-Arlington as well as another game to Tech 12-1 (another 8 walks in that game. )

I hope Rick Dickson is paying the same attention to softball as he did to some of our other Olympic sports. Now that there seems to be a commitment to investing in some of those non-revenue sports in terms of staffs and facilities, it's time to get softball back to being the class of the AAC. Strimple is obviously not the answer and DIckson could probably lure Bargfeldt back with the commitment of a facilities improvement.

15 year old signed to Washington Spirit

Bypassing college altogether.

The Washington Spirit announced the signing of 15-year-old midfielder Chloe Ricketts on Friday, making the Michigan native the youngest contracted player in National Women’s Soccer League history.
A high school sophomore, Ricketts signed a three-year contract with an option for 2026 after training with the Spirit in preseason. She is three days younger than Olivia Moultrie was when the midfielder signed with the Portland Thorns in June 2021.

The Last of Us (HBO)

Anyone else watch episode 1 of The Last of Us? Thoughts?

I loved it and plan to watch again prior to episode 2. I played through the original video game twice, and I've played the second game as well. The TV show brings even more of the story. I think it's incredibly well done and super compelling. I wish all episodes were released at once.

Game thoughts UCF

I’d like to thank TU for the extra time I have had to spend on work and my family. Time was, I would spend hours surfing the internet looking for every little thing on our basketball program. I don’t have to do that anymore given the absolutely pathetic product we are putting on the court.

UCF has an NBA guy, But we can’t play like that. We are terrible. There are no answers.

Camden Crooks

My doctor is in Cushing and I had an appointment with him today, we usually spend the appointments talking OSU football but I had seen Crooks had signed with you guys so I asked about him...he said Crooks is a beast, almost impossible to tackle. Will be a 4 time state 300 m hurdles champion and runs a legit 4.4 . He also returns punts and kicks. Said he is also great kid. My doctors son was a walkon QB at Tulsa several years ago, but had to give up football after suffering a couple concussions, and he said Crooks is the perfect type of kid for Tulsa, he should play as a freshman.

Covid was the result of a Chinese lab leak

Fairly significant step for the US Government to make such a finding. Remember, it wasn’t that long ago when doctors and others were being censored on social media sites for making such claims. Illiterates the risk to humanity posed by humans :)


📝 Larry Lewis RECAP: Tulsa's home finale ends in 68-49 loss to UCF

When serious TU fans, during the home finale, are mostly thinking about what recruits are coming in, you know it has been a dreadful season. But help will be on the way. Tulsa's 68-49 loss to Central Florida displayed hard effort, but a clear talent deficiency in front of a crowd of 4,059 at the Reynolds Center on Sunday afternoon.

📝 Larry Lewis Game Recap: Tulsa suffers close loss to ECU

Watching Tulsa's depleted squad almost pull off an amazing win was heartening. Especially when you see the four players first year TU coach Eric Konkol signed -- Brandon Betson, Jesaiah McWright, Bryant Selebangue and B.B. Knight -- all showing promise.

Betson led the way with 20 points, but Tulsa fell just short in a 62-60 loss Tuesday night to East Carolina in front of about 500 fans in an announced crowd of 3,002 at the Reynolds Center.
