Florida State would have to cough $63 million to buy out Mike Norvell's contract. They might be sick enough to do it. We wouldn't have to spend nearly as much to can Wilson.

If they do buy him out, it will make his former mentor Todd Graham's buyout at Arizona St. look like chump change.

Can you imagine being paid $63M to go away? Because you sucked at your job?

Actually, Norvell was a damn good assistant and, up until this season, a good head coach. I would welcome him back to TU.

Rivals is asking me to accept or reject their privacy rules, every time I click on anything. Can click on a board,(football, basketball, hurricane alley) a thread, return to forums, pretty much anything I do, and it asks me to accept or reject. It even asks me after I post a reply.

It isn't remembering. I went into manage settings, etc. Nothing changed it from asking this every two seconds. Driving me nuts! Please look into this.

Can’t get first down on O but D holds on 4th down. We have to run the ball to be successful

i tried to believe

Tulsa opens as 6 point underdog. Kinda thought it would be more but I’ll take it.

Thought I would make a thread to where people can discuss Kevin Wilson , this is not me advocating for any certain thing , just for people to discuss his future here as well as coaching decisions he makes

Temple moved the ball but penalty called back TD and drive stalled. Army goes 90 yards in 4 plays up 7-0

I was a Cub Scout and Glenn Dobbs wanted the stands full for a televised game. NTSU 20-Tulsa 17

Mean Joe Greene was incredible.

The importance of Tulsa getting a road win against a decent opponent, especially in a place and over a team that TU had previously struggled, cannot be overstated.

The confidence the Golden Hurricane gained from the victory over Louisiana Tech last Saturday night is much needed going into what should be a tough, even matchup at North Texas in Denton Saturday night at 6 p.m at DATCU Stadium (30,850).

On September 15, Tulsa basketball coaches picked up a commitment from 6-foot-7 wing KJ Martin. The Gainesville (FL) product from The Rock School had two main reasons for choosing TU.

179, up from 195 last year.

The rankings are based on 6 years of data. It will be three more years until we expel the last of the True Commitment/CoVid negative data.

If they don’t change the criteria again.

We were 75th in 2012. Roughly 7 years of data into Stead’s reign. Leadership matters.
