FROM ARMY RANGER TO TU QUARTERBACK –– Walk-on junior transfer quarterback Gabe Davis played his prep football at Wylie (Texas) High School and graduated in 2004. He attended Trinity Valley Junior College for two seasons and then joined the military. He was a member of the 1st Ranger Battalion in the Army and served 4.5 years in the military. He served two tours of duty in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan . . . at age 26, Davis now has returned to school . . . he left the military in May 2011 . . . he spent last semester just as a student at North Texas, and transferred to Tulsa at mid-semester . . . said Blankenship "Here's a young man that is quite a bit older and has some life experiences about him. He's a natural leader. It will be interesting to see what he's able to do with the opportunities he's given this spring, but he's certainly a great story."

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Haven’t seen this mentioned, but once again…… We started the season out pretty well. Got some local and national attention, to the point we were a trendy pick. “Tech better watch out!” Reece Davis on ESPN Game Day picked us as his “superdog”. We were starting to turn a corner regarding perception. And not only do we get beat, we got absolutely destroyed on national TV. Outclassed, out coached, out played and embarrassed. We were taking a few steps forward only to get hit in the face ONCE AGAIN and get launched back to what many think is our rightful place. How many people paying attention to our game vs TTech didn’t even bother to look at the schedule to see our next games much less make plans to show up. This probably happened about halfway through the 2nd quarter of that game. We are in a situation where we have no room for error. When you’re in this situation, no amount of marketing can overcome getting embarrassed like we were in Lubbock. We had our chance. Blew it.

      If Tech steals Eric; should we give Dave Aranda a shot?

      Yes, please. Why do we always relegate UNT to thinking we just have to go after someone else’s failure? We need to find a Lance Leipold, in my opinion. Find a proven winner at a lower level.

      I was just making a joke regarding the thread about Tech stealing Morris.

      And he just scored a TD to make it 35-10 with 8:00 to go in 3rd.
