I guarantee you there will be some in CUSA who will say Tulsa will win that league's football championship now.

Tulsa still hasn't played UTEP. UTEP will more than likely win the West division of C-USA until proven otherwise.

This is true, NTEagle08, but didn't the "lightly regarded" UH Cougars almost beat UTEP in El Paso 2 weeks ago?

I think many of us now believe Tulsa has a very talented and well-coached football team. I think OU's Coach Stoops would also tend to agree with that, too.

There is a reason they (TU) are in CUSA and we are not, too. (DD made a similar statement such as that about 2 weeks ago that I agree with). While NT was floating around for 12 years in NCAA D1-AA purgaotry while not improving its football related facilities for an even longer period of time, Tulsa still maintained their NCAA D1-A status and the percs that come with that, and many of our NT elect forget about such things as that.

We lived off the well-recruiteed Roy Bishop class all the way to a bowl win in the Big Easy and FWIW for those who even take that "W" a bit too lightly, that bowl win was over the co-champion of Conference-USA no matter how anyone felt about the quality of that Cincy' football team. For those who have forgotten, Cincy' beat a very good TCU football team that same Fall.

It might be pointed out, too, that those key NT assistant coaches who helped DD recruited the "Roy Bishop" class are (for the most part) all gone and one reason for that is that UNT still seems to be a litttle bit too "penny-anti" with our assistant football coach's salaries.

ESPN screwed that up.

Tulsa won 37-31 in OT.

Sorry to hear you guys lost. I'll still be pulling for you the rest of the season!!

Who said they were "lightly regarded"? Every publication I read had them as the "sleeper" in Conference USA: easily UTEP's best opponent in the West and possibly overall.

After tonight, UAB is the only one that truely worries me, and we get them in the Sun Bowl. I'll be watching Memphis/Tulsa the rest of the way with special interest after their game tonight. Not quite sure what to take of it yet.
