First let me give a huge shout out to Stix (George) who was kind enough to give me a ticket for my son on Saturday...

I know it was a bit of a pain to get the ticket to me and my son and I really appreciate it... We had a great time despite the obvious end result disappointment...

A few observations of the game...

1) DT is maddening as hell... He makes some perfect passes and then makes some of the easiest throws look impossible... To top it off it looks like a Chinese fire drill out there sometimes... He doesn't seem to have a calming effect in the huddle or at the snap...

2) The kicking situation is a nightmare... Going for it on 4th and 16 and 4th and 11 faced with short FGs is tantamount to giving up... I can't believe the coaches have lost complete confidence in the kicking game... I honestly think it would have been better to have thrown Olen back in there and given him another shot... No worse than going for it on 4th and 16...

3) Zac Whitfield looked like a disaster waiting to happen... Prior to the long touchdown pass that beat him there were a couple of other occassions where he was beaten deep but poorly thrown balls saved him...

4) Didn't the onside kick only bounce once...?? Isn't there a new rule that says if the ball only bounces once into the air on an onside kick you can call a fair catch...?? Not totally positive about that... I know it's a bang bang play and the first reaction of the up men isn't to call a fair catch, but hopefully they'll have it in their minds if it comes up again...

I really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere... I think as a crowd we are improving all the time...

Can't wait for the Tuesday night extravaganza... Hopefully we'll be 3-3 heading into it...

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      It pains me reading comments saying "the DJ is too loud" and "I can't have a nice conversation with the people near me." I think everyone appreciates fans being at the game, but lets not add "its too loud at the live sporting event" to feedback we're giving the AD. Energy builds energy. The game day experience needs to start being geared towards fans under 50. I truly worry about the lack of 22-50 year old fans in our stadium each week. We are in trouble in the coming decades if we do not age the experience down to cast a wider net and get more fans at the game. If you want a calm experience where you can have a nice dinner and listen to a 30-60 second delayed game day radio feed, the ticket office would love to sell you some Hub Club tix. I see people every game that never ever leave the tables inside at the Hub Club to go to their seats outside. And people advocating to put students in the Wing seating must have never sat there or hate our students. Endzone seating views aren't good at any stadium. Our stadium usually looks more full than it actually is because we have students in the sunny east bleachers filling in seats that otherwise would be a hard sell the first half of the season.

      Uniforms vs Tulsa

      I can get on board with this. *2004 Script, Flying Worm, or other throwback alternate yearly *All Black once a year…maybe twice *Our Beautiful green/white combos the rest of the year

      Given this, we should have worn script helmets with South Oklahoma in the TT game.
