OU can't produce effectively on offense (prolly for the same reasons they fouled up at TCU), but their defense hasn't seemed to hold off Tulsa. They're running and passing all over the OU D.

Or maybe that's just because the game is still in the early 2nd qtr.

The game has me a little freaked. Tulsa shouldn't perform like this, even against a crippled OU. Let's just hope OU is having a really, really, really bad early season. Because in my head, I'm worried about having Tulsa play our team...

7-3 Tulsa, 2nd quarter

If we can take care of business tonight and Tulsa comes in here next week after having beaten OU, I can see a nice-sized crowd showing up smile.gif

Moot...I was thinking the exact same thing. Tulsa could be shaping up for a 20,000+ crowd at Fouts.

Moot...I was thinking the exact same thing.  Tulsa could be shaping up for a 20,000+ crowd at Fouts.

With unprecedented national media coverage this summer, the Back-To-Back promo with Cobbs and Thomas and with this being the home season opener I'd be disappointed if we were under 20K no matter how Tulsa does today at Norman.

I think at some point, we have to recognize that we are seeing more new faces each Fall at Fouts and that (if for no other reason) is because our last 5 years in a row at NT have seen recording-breaking NT freshmen classes each of those years.

Seems we are many times conditioned to always think in terms of the past at NT, but I think the present and the future will become our allies as they days, weeks, months and years go by in Mean Green Country. Many of you have already said that you have those coming to your tailgate for the Tulsa game that have never seen a Mean Green football game (or they haven't seen one in years).

We need Tulsa to beat OU. It's even a plus that the Golden Hurricane are doing this good against OU because if our players thought they had a gimmee' before today, they for sure won't now. (Heck! I thought Tulsa was going to be a gimmee' most of this last summer). Oh well, so much for that. rolleyes.gif

Of course, Tulsa and NT back in the Mo Valley days had some real good games according to some of you who were around much of that time.

Sadly, TCU fans and players have to be "semi" throwin' their hands up in the air because what some of their elect have called arguably their biggest win ever, may be the same for several other teams this year when they play the Sooners.

Still, wouldn't it be funny as hell if Mack Brown's UT Horns still could not beat OU this Fall?!?!? laugh.gif

OU pulled it away, 30-15 or something like that. Thing is, they did it with no passing and the legs of Adrian Peterson.

OU had a close shave today- a poor QB, a shaken OL almost cost them the game. Bomar gave Tulsa two INTs that had the OU D not stepped in at the last moment, would've made the game a lot closer than it was...if not give Tulsa the game. OU owes Peterson the game ball for this.

The big scare for me is Tulsa's TE #20. He caught just about everything near him...against a D that's supposed to be able handle someone who isn't that fast. Let's hope Meager has more in him than Rhett Bomar, that the OL will hold better (I'm sure it will), the WR's do their thing (they will if Meager passes well) and that the D can watch that Mills guy.

Still- OU's really taken a step down. If I'm a Sooner fan, I'm wondering why I'm breathing a sigh of relief after beating Tulsa, not laughing at the enormous score gap that OU's normally enjoyed (95-0, last two meetings).

      Not thrilled about playing State

      Dude flunked out at UNT and ran back home to his mom in Houston and flunked out again, and trolls the UNT message board trying to act big time, because he's been run off the Houston board. Imagine how big of a douche you have to be that other UH fans can't even stand you.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      Nope from the beginning of this (end of College Football Alliance). It has all been about cut throat capitalism with the schools competing as individual business that happen to operate sports teams connected to academic institutions. Come on, you have Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The NFL stopped that madness as soon as they added franchises in geographic locations to fix that mess (Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals). College Football in comparison is going backwards. Imagine if the Los Angeles Rams and 49ers were moved to the NFC East because they were big markets like New York. 🤣. The same reason that NIL is a mess; not paying players will always be more profitable if your organization doesn't have to pay them directly and they aren't employees with rights and access to collective bargaining (Look up stories on the problems with the Gig Economy ie Uber, Grubhub and etc.) They should roll everything back to being in line with salaries for everyone in College Athletics being on par with academic administrators, professors and the players as amateurs getting scholarships and regional conferences. But we all know that all those people will not agree to take massive pay cuts (excluding the athletes because you don't need them to agree because the structure would be self evident the teams are not operating as if they are seeking profit). In this every conference/program for themselves model nobody has the desire or power to fix things on a macro level. And any entity that does will immediately be sued or have to allow for some sort of collective bargaining. 🤷🏽‍♂️
