for Tulsa vs Arkansas next Saturday does that mean it is probably a pickem game? I will keep looking but this is weird a 1-5 team plays a 1-6 Sec team.
New odds are out for next Saturday games but all show no odds with n/a
- Thread starter libertychamp
- Start date
I just want to win, but with the history against the piggies I think our walk on kicker hitting the winning field goal, twice because the refs decide some phantom penalty, would make for some succulant roasted ham. Although, the pork would most likey be salty.
I've been to the last 14 Arkansas games. I feel due but doubtful.
I sometimes wonder if the players should be told how much a win over there would mean to our older alumni who have never seen a win and will likely not see another in their lifetimes. @utulsaGHC Ian, you are new to campus. For our more senior GHC members, winning over there would be bigger than beating OU, OSU, and Houston in the same season. There are deep seeded emotional reasons going back fifty years where games were out right stolen from us. Recently, we have fumbled or run the wildcat for no gain when a win was within reach. There’s a lot of division and unproductive talk on this board and I contribute my fair share, but we are united in our distaste of Arky. And that’s different than other games against other “rivals”. The players are young. They may not know the history or see the opportunity. Pass it along if you can.

I despise this game. The history behind it makes me so mad. That we gave up a home and home series for a game and then choked just adds to it. For me personally the history is three games, but it's a frustrating three games. I didn't expect much in 2003 but the last two were bitter.
The Rubley fumble was something that just seemed inevitable. As the ball was snapped you just felt a cold wind pour over you like the presence of Satan walked into the room. Then their cheap turf tore his knee up a few years later.
Jason’s kick hung in the air for what seemed to be minutes and you felt the ball fall to the ground short as your stomach plummeted to your toes in ‘83.
I was around for the last win in the 70s as a little kid with my dad, but if someone wants to start a tradition like OU putting oranges in the basket of the Seed Sower, then go tape a white handkerchief to the hands of the Glen Dobbs statue. I grew up hearing the story from my Dad about Coach Dobbs waving his handkerchief at the officials from the sideline because they were so crooked Dobbs was signaling his surrender.
Everybody cook a pig this Saturday. Burn it a little.

Your dad sounds a little like mine Huffy. He vowed back in the 60s to never return for a road game in Arkansas or Wichita due to the regular screw jobs.
He did relent and rode with me to Fayetteville a couple of times in the late 80s/early 90s but he never did return to Wichita. Can’t say I blame him there.
That’s the plan. The pit will be fired Friday afternoon and the pork butt will be cooking all night. Ribs will take the field about 5 am...
I’m going and taking my 7 year old. She’s seen plenty of games in Chapman but hasn’t been to a bigger stadium. They’re having about as hard a time selling tickets to games as we are. I bought 2 lower bowl tickets, 3rd row, for $25 total. They had upper section tickets for as little s $4 ea on Stub Hub and Seat Geek. Worth the drive through the Ozarks with the colors and all. #GoTU
Opened at Arkansas -3.5. MGM has Arkansas - 5.5. Wynn and Caesar's has Arkansas -6. O/U 55.

Will never forget that only sack of the day with Rubley fumble. Dave Rader(St. Senator,R-Tulsa) walked past me off the field looking like someone had just shot his dog. & who can blame him? We had Arkies by the short hairs until that play.
I'm like a moth to the flame when it comes to games in Pigville. I know it's going to hurt but I can't help myself. Maybe someday in my lifetime I will make the trip home with a smile.
I've only seen the one win in 72 (?) 21-20 after training 0-20 at the start of the 4th Q. This W would wash away all of the disappointment of this and last year's seasons.
Yes, it's a big deal. Bigger than both OU and OSU since we've had recent wins over those two. Houston is at its own level of hate though.
I just deep down hate Houston. I never want to stop scoring on them, ever.
Tulsa and Houston have also dominated the west divisions since we have been in the same conference. Every one of the CUSA west divisions were won by us or them. So it carries a little extra water.
This would be the biggest win in a while though. As far as rivals go it's the one we need most at this point in our shared history. Be nice to knock them off this year and OSU next year.
Bless your blue and gold heart... That's a rough stretch...
I didn’t know they made that much Vaseline....
That’s bordering on fetish behavior.
I would probably look in Rogers/Bentonville. Fayetteville hotels are usually booked way in advance for football weekends. May not be as bad with the 11 AM kick and the season we're having though.
I’ve seen about the last 10 over there. Even the 5” rain during one game. Officials have been suspect. I grew up in Arkansas and being a hog fan back then unfortunately or fortunately saw TU beat Arkansas. That was a looooooong time ago. Since moving to Tulsa and being a TU fan there have been lots of long drives back on Saturday nights.
The last time I went my seat was passed the back line of the end zone and the building in the end zone partially blocked the field .
Seems like some of you are bad juju. Ever think about not going?
I don’t go... and I won’t go, until Arkansas plays at least one game in Tulsa.
There you go again. Being a fan isn’t determined by the size of your hurricane flags... although, I’m fairly sure yours are larger than the ones in the south end zone...
I think after as many trips as We have made to pig land, we are due a home game.
We don’t always have to be the cheap whore for the pigs.
