If it was Spavital, they would have already announced it. Doubt Spavital, considering he doesn't have that many suitors. If it's Spavital it would be announced on Wednesday at the earliest, and would be because he was their 3rd or 4th choice, and everybody else got scooped up by other programs.
I’ll bet 100 doll hairs we are not hiring Spavital.
Stupid dyslexia, I read "no" as "on", thought that was bravely honest.
Sadomasochism, is there anything wrong with that? Signed Mr Costanza
What if your Mom walks in on you with a Glamour magazine George Costaza?
No, the guy was probably just bitter because BA wasn’t in the semi-finals as usual, but he wouldn’t let us in the gate because it was after halftime and they were no longer selling tickets.
I tried to explain that my daughter was playing in the band and that we had just came from the Tulsa - Southern Miss game that evening but he wasn’t having any of it at all.
We walked over to the visitor’s side and right in through an open gate. He apparently didn’t know who he was dealing with.
Guy sounds like a d*^k. Who keeps a father from seeing his daughter play? I would've pocketed your $20 and let you in
Either way, his kid gets a “hard no” from me. Please read it right this time.
Loren Montgomery really should be getting more tread on here. The dude could pull all that sod farm money for NIL.
Just rename the team “The University of Tulsa Fighting Bixby Spartans”
Sounds like the handlers for BTW's band. One tried to tackle after their season finale. Was as successful as TU's defense. Whiff!
How do you even waste time interviewing Spavital and not Marion? Ridiculous. Disappointing.
Of course we’re assuming Marion hasn’t interviewed. The truth is we don’t know for sure who has interviewed or not.
I don't think Marion has anything to do with it. Should just be "How do you even waste time interviewing Spavital". I'm fine with him getting a second chance but it should be at an FCS or DII school. He's never been associated with an excellent team, excellence is not part of his background or something he's experienced. We tried "nice guy but never all that successful, maybe he can up his game after we hire him" with Konkol, you only play that card once.
Personally, I just want to know who its going to be so I can blindly hype them up and get unreasonably amped for next season
Remember...
As quick as Barry Odom was the favorite to land the head coaching job at Tulsa, he’s just as quickly out.
KOTV sports reporter Jonathan Huskey said Arkansas’ defensive coordinator and Tulsa could not come to terms on a contract agreement, ultimately sending Odom’s chances, outside of a midnight miracle (so to speak) by the wayside.
Report: Barry Odom out of the running to be Tulsa head coach
Arkansas DC Barry Odom was the favorite Sunday morning to be the next coach at Tulsa. That’s disappeared, per a report.

Just realized this is an old article. Honestly, Odom feels like another Wilson retread type, even with the success at UNLV right now. Didn't he get fired at Mizzou for basically being what Wilson was at Indiana? That said...is UNLV's success due to him or to Milkman?[/url]
Yeah, he's the response to the retread argument. Or do we oppose retreads even if they put together winning teams? They're 10-2 and lost the 2 games by a total of 8 points. I'd take him.
My point here, though, was that we got ahead of ourselves last time around and let word out that Odom was the guy and then Odom wasn't the guy and we looked like idiots, and then Wilson was the guy but then maybe Wilson wasn't the guy bc he was pissed that he was our second choice, but then we cuddled him and he got ok with it. Let's avoid that again. I remember at the time thinking that it was possibly the worst managed hiring process I'd ever seen.
The worst may have been the hiring of Gragg as Athletic Director at The University of Arkansas and announced on all media outlets and the subsequent cheers from our message board. The Arkansas Board of Trustees somehow heard about this and rescinded the offer. Gragg came unenthusiastically back to TU.
