Tomorrow 6 pm. Anyone planning to go?

Grand Sumo Highlites start Nov 15 on NHK and you can stream free. Lots of pushers and thrusters. Could our OL players learn anything from their technique? They start match with hands in the dirt. I like the slap down move.

……about our politics is summed up by Thomas Friedman below.

Nice start and then 14-0 run. Some encouraging signs.
I like the new guys. And the use of the old guys. I’m out putting up campaign signs, will say more later.

I just posted the prediction thread on the wrong board! Don’t have a cocktail and post. Lol

I need to briefly describe how utterly dumb this race is. Drummond is a great attorney who will do great things. I’m very excited about him having this office. He has the temperament and intelligence to go far in politics and will at least keep us entertained. If Stitt or Walters win, he is a perfect check on them.

His opponent, Lynda Steele, is not an attorney. She did not go to law school. She did not take the bar. If you ask her about that, she will ridicule and say a bunch of nonsensical things. She has no idea what the job does or even what an argument is. I’m not sure she has a sufficiently competent grasp of the English language.
She also has some intersting tittoos, I mean tattoos. You can’t miss em. I get the vibe she’s the sort of lady you meet at a bar and then decide a way to immediately leave said bar. Her experience is she was in charge of an artillery group or something and runs some sort of not for profit (I mean, more likely not for money because it isn’t a registered entity with state) that advocates in every domestic case that children be placed with the father.

Aside from the humor of all this, I have to say that this is why we don’t have nice things in politics. She is running as a Libertarian. The state libertarian party seems to think this is OK. It is not. It’s a damn joke.

We don’t have two political parties in this state. We have one that is incredibly arrogant and almost always wins, another that barely functions in any meaningful way other than accidents, and then crap like this. I don’t know what you do about it, but the is the state of politics here.

Over the past few months, the new Tulsa basketball staff has welcomed several 2023 basketball prospects to campus for official visits, and while there wasn’t immediate success with the first couple of visitors, TU patiently continued to target highly-ranked and highly-recruited talent.

The hard work paid off on Halloween, as Lebanon (TN) wing Jarred Hall committed to the Golden Hurricane during a ceremony in his high school gym.

Tulsa built a 41-22 lead late in the first half but couldn't hang on, eventually falling 73-70 at Oregon State.

Wild guess but here goes:

Griffin
Nikita
Pritchard
Betson
Dalger

My apologies if this question has already been answered. Where can we watch the TU basketball game next week? Cheers.

Women looking great so far.

TU up at halftime 47-17.

Getting Sam Griffin to stay in Tulsa was critical for new head coach Eric Konkol. It helped that Konkol had tried to recruit the dynamic Griffin before. Griffin, who was briefly in the transfer portal after Frank Haith resigned at TU, was quickly convinced to stay after talking with Konkol. But Griffin also had other reasons.

6-foot-9 center Matt Reed of Lewisville (TX) iSchool Academy committed to Tulsa on Monday.

I got interested in this Fetterman vs. Oz race and watched some of the debate, and then I've watched Fetterman on a couple other recent TV appearances. I've watched a man, Fetterman, who recently had a stroke and cannot put sentences together went put under pressure. I feel very sorry for him as a human being...the debate was very difficult to watch.

Some things I don't understand are (1) why he is still running, (2) why anyone would vote for someone with a recent stroke that is incapable of clear thought in tough situations and will not produce his medical records, (3) why would anyone vote for a guy that blatantly lied at the debate when confronted with his anti-fracking statements ("I don't support fracking at all) and then said, "I do support fracking...and...I don't, I don't...I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking."

Please someone explain how he is still a viable candidate? And why in the world would Oprah Winfrey put her support behind someone that just blatantly lied on national TV and cannot think properly due to medical conditions? I mean really. I don't see a plausible explanation at all. This is mind-boggling.

First game of the Coach K era. The other Coach K has retired, so there shouldn’t be any confusion.

Hard to know what we will see. Let’s hope it’s the opposite of that crappy complicated defense we could never grasp.

In fairness to the previous staff, they didn’t leave the cupboard completely bare. It’s up to this staff to coach them up.

Beaver dams: 70
Corps of Engineers dams: 74

Bonus Kendall Prediction: Sam Griffin will be glad he stayed.

Great get for Konkol !

We could fool the viewing audience into thinking we have decent attendance.

The attendance for yesterday's game was announced at 15K. Roughly half of that number was the actual headcount I would guess. The final game will probably be even lower. There would be plenty of room for everyone on the east side.

The only problem is that there will probably be fewer people watching on tv than will actually be at the stadium, even though a spot in the Bottom 10 may be on the line.

Apparently, the NCAA is putting out a 4-part series on how they do the Selection, Seeding and Bracketing of the Tournament. This is week one.

Heard that Cincinnati left us a present as they left after their game. Totally trashed the locker room. Estimated at about $35,000.00. They are such nice people.
