Kickoff times set for last 2 games
- Thread starter Babe the Blue Ox
- Start date
7:30 PM for Cincinnati? I'll be there but only with about 10,000 probably. Hope not, these seniors deserve a huge crowd.
Friday after Thanksgiving 7:30 PM, perfect chance for out of town relatives to bundle up & join you at the final game of the year. Just let your relatives know what to pack before they get to town!
That's probably the best possible time for that last game. Gives people who decide shopping at 2AM is a good idea to go home and take a nap and then go to the game later. Can anyone imagine the outrage for TU fans when they finish at 9-3 and point straight to the refs as a reason why we didn't at least have a shot at 11-1 regular season with the only loss to Ohio State.
For our fans to show up, it the game has to start at 3:09pm with a temp of exactly 75°, 6-8 clouds in the sky, a cool breeze (but not too cool for heavens sake), and be they would need to be able to park their cars between the concession stands and the stadium.... oh and one last thing, we need our gate attendants to hand out new (not too crisp though) $100 bills to everyone in appreciation for their 50 ft walk to their seats.
Tulsa "fans" and the city of Tulsa have let TU teams down more times than I care to count.

I assume this game is played at 7:30 for television. There is no reason other than that I can think of. It is an awful time to schedule a football game in late November on a Holiday. That being said, let's get real about this. No one should complain about in-person attendance if the whole idea is get TV-attendance. Watching any college game at the stadium is particularly frustrating because of all the delays and TV timeouts making a game last 3-1/2 hours. So, if the whole design of the game in terms of starting time and stopping for the television audience hurts attendance, don't be surprised. I have been attending in person for 20 years and it is starting to wear on me. I was once at the stadium at 2:30 a.m. watching the guy with the red hat make us all sit in the rain for a TV timeout when it dawned on me who is more valued as a spectator.
I remember all the posters who just couldn't come to a 11 am game because it was just to early, No 2:30 games for sure because just to hot and sun gets in our eyes and now evening games just don't fit our schedule. WHATEVER I'll be there.
The breeze has to come from the south east, TU fans don't want any breeze that comes from OKC, Stillwater, Wichita, or KC.
Awesome! I can go to my cousin's golden anniversary party and still make the game.
Perfect!
Perfect!
Night games are the best time. Best atmosphere. Sure, it'd be better if the stadium was full but for goodness sakes...its 3 hours. If it interferes with your bedtime, suck it up. If it's too cold...put a jacket and bring a blanket. Stop trying to make excuses not to go. 11 am too early. 2 pm is too hot or just bad exposure and 7 is too late. Seems we are out options on when to play
You have to be there, I sent you a Facebook invite.
Already scheduled a bday party for the wife that night, which is why i was hoping for 11 or 230. Lemme know if you want my tix.
I'll take Em! I only have 212 tix in my party now. It won't be the same without you.
How about swing by the party tent ahead of the partay?

They're yours. Our party starts at 6 so sneakin out for a few beforehand is probably not a good idea, but i'll make sure you get em!
Thanks man. We'll probably get down there around 4pm or so if your schedule allows a sneak through
I have it on good authority that all a girl wants for her bday is a TU game.
It's actually the 10-year anniversary of our second date as well, Tulsa v Tulane that Friday afternoon. We didn't spend too much time at the game lol.
Are you guys coming home for Thanksgiving and the game? I just DM'd you on FB.
We will be in NOLA actually! I don't think we will probably ever come home for Thanksgiving from Houston...it's enough to make the rounds all over the state a month later for Christmas.
Let's just say we'd never hear the end of spending limited holiday time in Tulsa and not where the families are.
