@Li'l Eric Coley didn't seem to link you in the title.

With the NFL draft starting Thursday and I can guarnatee no one from TU will be going in the first round. I wanted to see who was on a Roster.

Here is what we got

Canadian Football League


National Football League

This is just a verbal offer, but it's the...

I'll try to remember to post links in this...

The Tulsa men’s basketball coaches are combing the transfer portal to help fill out their roster for next season, and three players have made recent visits to the TU campus.

I mean, has private equity ever done anything but improve things?

This idea sounds pretty interesting, I have to say. I get the "we don't want to label ourselves as second tier" but G5 conferences are second tier and will only become more so as money becomes even more unevenly distributed. I'm honestly not interested in watching teams with $5m NIL players, that's just pro ball. I'd like a real college football system again.

"The idea of G5 reorganization or the creation of a G5 football-only Super League consisting of the top handful of programs was informally discussed among some administrators when the current wave of conference realignment kicked off in 2021. Former Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany presented to leagues an idea of the three G5 leagues with southeastern footprints (AAC, CUSA, Sun Belt) reorganizing geographically. A few weeks later, the AAC added six schools from CUSA. The AAC earns millions more per school than other G5 leagues."

Now below both OU and OSU. Woof. Lots to criticize in the ranking criteria. Doesn’t change the fact that people still look at these rankings.

Thoughts ?

This is a thread where we’ll list new offers...

To say Rick Dickson's imminent departure as TU's athletic director is the end of an era is an understatement. When he retires, this time for good, as Tulsa's AD at the end of June at age 70, it will be 50 years since he first came to TU as a football player from Bishop Kelley.

I read this on an Al McGuire website. I didn’t realize the last game he called was Tulsa and College of Charleston.

“I worked with Al McGuire his last year of the tournament (1999). And Coach McGuire was never known for the depth of his preparation. As in, ‘I’ll react to what’s going on.’ And that Thursday or Friday is the longest day in broadcast television. It is. It’s a grind. I can still tell you the teams. We were in Charlotte. We lead off with Delaware and Tennessee. Get that done. Then we’ve got Southwest Missouri State and Wisconsin in what I would still argue is one of the worst college basketball games I’ve ever done. Like, 42-31, and that was at the end of the game. So now we get a short break. My pile (of papers) is going down. You take half of it and throw it away. The evening game was Mississippi Valley State and Duke, and Duke was a 48-point favorite, and they covered. So the last game of the night is College of Charleston and Tulsa. We’re taking a break and I said, ‘Coach, anything I can do for you in this last game?’ And he said, ‘No, no.’ We get back and sit down. He doesn’t have a note. He doesn’t have a roster. And I said, ‘Is there anything I can do to help you out?’ He said, ‘No, no—they’ll take their warmups off and I’ll get the names and numbers, and I’ll listen to you for the first five minutes, and I’ll pick things up and I’ll be fine.’ Charleston comes out and they have maroon warmups. They take them off and they have no names, just numbers. Tulsa, with Bill Self as the coach, comes out in blue—no names. McGuire looked at me and said, ‘Son, you might have to help me—I think I’m screwed.’”

I’ve been sounding the warning for months. Appears some are starting to listen. The question is will Joe continue to keep his head in the sand ?

2025 Dallas (TX) Lake Highlands safety Ayden Webb has seen his recruitment heat up over the past two months. Tulsa was one of the first programs to extend an offer, and Webb was on the TU campus last month to watch spring practice.

Don Tomkalski, the longest tenured employee in the athletic department, is retiring after 40 years. He’s pretty much at every game and getting stats and records to the media. A Tulsa legend.

Just in, Angie Nelp's contract has been extended through 2030 by the University of Tulsa. Well, if anyone wants her they're going to have to pony up for her. Good for TU!

Went to lunch at Bill's Jumbo Burgers and this dawned on me as a good topic. As a rule, I'm telling you up front these should be locally owned/operated places and generally not chains, as opposed to McDonald's and Red Robin. I'm looking for local places . . . you can get that kind of chain stuff anywhere. Plus, if you post it I'll make fun of you.

My list:
1) Bill's Jumbo Burgers; Xanthus and Admiral. Funky little wooden building. Weird fundamentalist stuff on the walls. Really damn good. Has always been really damn good.
2) Weber's; Brookside. This place doesn't get enough love. Root beer is really the draw (get the root beer freeze). The comination of great root beer and burgers makes it #2.
3) JJ's; 6th and Peoria. Weird as hell. Overpriced. Doesn't keep normal hours. Don't call it a hamburger, whatever you do. Gourmet ribeye burgers are great.
4) Claude's; Brookside. They finally got rid of the "we grind our own meat" sign a few years back. Always got a laugh out of that since they are across the street from a funeral home. Anywho, nothin' wrong with this place at all. Good prices, too. Got food poisoning there once, so it's lower on my list than the quality indicates.
5) (My curveball) The Mediterranean burger at Wild Fork; feta and other good Greek stuff on pita. I thought my lady was nuts when ordered this. Now I live for it.
6) Green bean burger at Brother's Houlighan; weird, but strangely wonderful.
7) Ron's. Ron's used to be an easy #1. But they moved in around the corner from me and I've become a regular. I've decided that their frito chili pie and chicken are better than their burgers. Their burgers are very good, but I'm not sure they are as good as they used to be.


There are others, but I must stop or I'll have to eat something.

FWIW, I'm not ranking the McNellie's burger because I think it's the most overrated thing in this town since Hanson. Nice burger, not remotely worth the hysteria on Wednesday nights.

TU getting a lot of love for this!
