According to the TW, Williams will likely start on Thursday… I was hoping to have Braxton back since this is another must win for us.

About as low as I can ever remember.

No. Ill and Temple games will probably be our barometer to determine if this is correct.

GO TU!!!!

Mr. Brin is playing well. Too bad we couldn't keep him around after last year's injury plagued season.

Whoops seven picks leads the nation!!!!

GO TU!!!

Damn proud of these guys. I like this staff. Defense is solid.

I hope these places carry good insurance and come back. They really are great places for this town.

Not sure why it hasn’t been put out by TU yet, but our game at FAU next Saturday will kickoff at 5:00 pm ct on ESPN+

I think I've finally found an original topic for the board. And it has to go into the Alley to minimize the dumbass comments.

I'm curious about how hard people take losses. What's the level of pain? I can say that, about 20 years ago, significant losses would put be in a funk for several days at a time. As I've matured and my expectations have grown lower, it's more like an evening or a day of being snippy and upset. It's gone more from losing a pet bird (not a dog or cat) to losing a long-time pet fish. Sometimes maybe a bird with a short natural lifespan for the bigger disappointments. But it's still significant.

So, I'd love to hear the depth of frustration and despair people hit after TU losses, whether none, minor, or significant.

I may have overlooked something, but it appears the AAC has one win over a Power 5 team. Rice over Houston. Not sure that it counts though. Not a great look for the AAC.

Playing at Northern Illinois in DeKalb, 65 miles west of downtown Chicago, at 11 a.m. Saturday morning is a big game for TU football in coach Kevin Wilson's inaugural season for Tulsa.

TU needs a win in a bad way...

I posted on the NIU game thread, one of our biggest problems is turnovers. We are #130 out of 130 for total turnovers (technically we're tied for 129...). 2 of our enemies' 3 TDs (outside WA and OU) were on short fields (our D has only given up 1 long TD drive), and we lost a TD of our own yesterday by fumbling inside the 10 so our margin of victory would be +21 over 2 games if we cut out the TOs. Yesterday would have been 29-7 without 2 of the TOs. That feels pretty different.

The TOs are mainly INTs (10 out of 12). I think this will get better and it'll help us on both sides of the ball. My sense is TOs are mainly discipline and experience, and the other discipline stat is penalties. Penalty yards per game, we're #36 out of 130, so this is not an undisciplined team. I think the INTs will improve with experience.

BTW, in the Monty reign of terror, we averaged 65 ypg of penalties, 22 more than the 43 ypg we average now.

Anthony Watkins rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, Kendarin Ray intercepted a pass with 26 seconds left, and Tulsa beat Northern Illinois 22-14 on Saturday for the Huskies’ seventh straight home loss.
