How does the tailgate crowd look?

How does the tailgate crowd look?

It’s about what you’d expect for a 3-6 team on a weeknight. There are plenty of people here but it’s not full by any means.

It’s about what you’d expect for a 3-6 team on a weeknight. There are plenty of people here but it’s not full by any means.

The question is how many go in to watch the game.

 

[TUGrad06]

I can't believe we're this bad and on ESPN.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Go TU……

 

[TUGrad06]

LOL, the signs. "We want Oregon".

 

[TU1NNJ]

Offense off to a good start.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Legas should have hit Jackson in the flat on the 2nd down instead of throw to EZ. Would have gained the first down.

 

[TU1NNJ]

TU 3 ECU 0

TU 3 ECU 0

Well it's something.

 

[TulsaGrad07]

Better than 3 and out and a punt!!
O-Line playing better than they have recently.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox]

I can't believe we're this bad and on ESPN.

What else are they going to show tonight?

 

[TU1NNJ]

TU D 3 and out

 

[TU 1978]

The week off helped us.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Mistakes get in our way. Fumble at the 2. Turnover.

 

[drboobay]

Well teams are 3-6 for a reason!

 

[TU Pilot]

And here we go...

 

[TU1NNJ]

TU 3 ECU 7.

4 plays over 80 yards. 14 point swing.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox]

Why in the hell is our head coach down here laughing and cutting up with the radio sideline guy instead of actually coaching someone, especially after that last drive.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Legas hurt.

He’s allegedly calling the plays again this week. Apparently he didn’t understand the message about either being the head coach or the OC but not both.

 

[TUGrad06]

What else are they going to show tonight?

ANY rerun. of anything, ever.

Well I hope Poplin got some good quotes for the broadcast.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Francis needs to throw the ball away instead of losing 3 yards on 3rd down.

 

[TU 1978]

If Legal is out, for gods sake put in Cardell Williams. Francis ain’t got it - again.

 

[drboobay]

Throw it out of bounds on fourth?

No protection of course. Not a good situation for a slow qb.

 

[TulsaGrad07]

Francis demoralizes the team in front of him. He sucketh! Revoke his scholarship.

 

[JesseTU]

Since the touchback rule went to the 25, is there any data anywhere that says returning a kickoff statistically pays off?

They know he has limited mobility. They are going to bring one more than we can block and hope he can’t find the open man quickly enough.

Legas is warming up.

I’m starting to be on board with this now and I was his biggest cheerleader

They don't have to hope to hard.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Our DBs never spot the ball

Interesting stats, but it doesn't tell me the expected starting yard line when returning a kickoff (vs. starting at the 25). My anecdotal observation is returns usually start short of the 25.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Interception TU!

Defense is keeping us in this. Hopefully legas is ok

I was too after how last year ended. He had confidence, poise and threw precision balls. Now he looks like he's scared less and has zero confidence. The team senses it and their body language says it all when he's out there.
