I think the Monty didnt fall far from the Briles..
Amen. I’ve never seen a program that has staff and players after a game attempting to come up into the stands to fight fans. How in the world does anyone continue to defend this version of Tulsa football?
Not sure. I quit going to TU/UCF basketball games after we lost big leads like 6 years in a row.
Yeah. Brandon is actually an old acquaintance. He’s the Chris Harmon of the UCF board. What ever he says happened, you can bet it happened.
Can't remember if he got suspended, but he should have been suspended for two or three games over that, and told he was on probation for the rest of the year.(Meaning if you do it again you will be kicked off the team.)
Weird group. They are totally overboard in tailgating. Extreme drunks and lots of taunting, property damage on Oklahoma plated cars. Throwing food from tailgates at little kids in Tulsa cheerleader outfits etc. I’m talking about people 18-49 doing this. In the stands, lots of GTL shirtless flexing and bow ups. Cussing TU people out. Etc. In one well publicized incident, the President of UCF apologized to the University of Texas for someone urinating on an elderly fan who found himself seated in the UCF student section. Then after the game, win or lose, they are all nice saying we are classy and wishing we were larger, etc. OLeary even said the posters on here are classy.
Yeah. The come back on that is always “Today’s players won’t respond to discipline like that.” In some cases, that may be true. In most cases, it’s either guys taking the easy way out or they are intentionally taking behavior problems because other programs won’t.
He’s got his rules. And the boys know them. They respect him and the process. And they know they won’t play and what practice will be like if they break them.
It''s a matter of lines, and not yardlines. You draw them up from the start, and you hold to them, no matter who the player is.
If I recall this had some racial or ethnic slur to it. Martins was ALWAYS the guy that was calming people down, mainly Joiner. To set him off it had to be pretty bad.
The Tubby state and glare. You never wanted to be on the receiving end of that one
Re:UCF fans - first CUSA Championship Game at the Citrus Bowl I was walking by myself to the stadium wearing a TU shirt and hat. Had to dodge multiple beer cups/cans and listen to all kind of vulgar taunts by students and older fans. None of the beer hit me but not for lack of trying. I just shook my head and kept walking. It was so satisfying after that win.
No. That was a similar incident at the same time in the NBA. They have an epic heckler that sits behind the visitors bench. And he said a series of things that set Martins off. So the guy moved over to the baseline when Martins saw more minutes as a sixth man late in the game. The guy jawboned the whole game and Martins said he would see him after the game. So he did. You can hear parts of the exchange on the tape. There wasn’t anything racial about it. Brandon wrote about it in The Dungeon as I recall. Chris may remember. If anything like that happened, I would definitely remember it. They banned the fan.
That was out of control. So out of control it was used as justification for building the stadium on campus to improve security and move it away from the bars of Church Street. A cop shot an undercover cop. Multiple arsons on cars, burning couches. I was vomited on. I don’t know a single person that went to that game that didn’t experience or witness what you describe. The guy from Texas that got pissed on was their first home game on campus. It calmed down considerably after that.
Anyone looked at where his son was during the melee? Was he involved in the trash talk?
I wouldn't say scary so much as intense, methodical, & focused.
