Game Thread: at Tulsa (9/11)

[Rightupinthere]

Almost 60% of the team has one year or less playing experience. Who DIDN'T think this was rebuilding year.

I'm a patient man and only down 13 after giving up 360 total yards is a cup half full, my friends.

and a 15 yard penalty on the Claw!!!

Field goal here was a minor victory. 33-14 Tulsa Golden (shower) Hurricane

Ok, here is my biggest beef so far...The Tulsa announcers keep talking about "TU" but Tulsa is the "University of Tulsa." Anyone else have a problem with this?

Tulsa game note say to call them TU or UT even though its the University of Tulsa, I also find that kinda weird

[falconfan1999]

Is it just me or does Willie Geter look like a different back this year? Seems to make faster cuts and runs harder. Of course as I say that, he gets rocked in the backfield for a loss.... watching it on channelsurfing.net, by the way.

[falconfan1999]

Why aren't we throwing the ball away instead of giving up the sack?

[PresBG]

I understand that there are "oddities" but how can you follow "University of Tulsa lead 10-7" with "TU football will be back right after this?" Seriously!!!

I don't know why I didn't think of this before...but the TU thing might be a result of the University of Texas being referred to as...dare I say it....UT. (I think I just gagged from typing that) And since geographically, the two are in the same region, it makes a little sense. That may not be it at all...but it's worth considering. Or maybe it's because Tulsa is just plain weird.

On a pseudo-positive note, my other team - the Oklahoma State Cowboys (my other orange school ) is beating Troy, 34-30, at the end of the 3rd. Hopefully, they can get a little more done during the 4th!

Either way, I still don't like Tulsa. And I like them even less right now.

[falconfan1999]

still 33-14 in the 4th. BG has the ball almost at midfield

[falconfan1999]

Kamar Jordan has some nice moves. He's going to be our top receiver this year.

I know for a fact that there is a "fourth official" on the soccer sidelines with the official time and he then indicates that time at the end of each half. Does football have someone similar to that? I"m asking/commenting in pure ignorance...

I honestly can't answer that question, but I believe the answer is yes. I believe it is one of the deep officials in the defensive backfield (not sure of his position title).

[falconfan1999]

Touchdown! Schilz rushes for a short TD. BG goes for two, Hodges catches the ball at the back of the endzone, but doesn't get a foot down, so the two pointer fails!

33-20 Tulsa

[falconfan1999]

and for the record, these officials are lame!

[reyray82]

Nice TD to get us back in the game.


falconfan1999 Thanks for the heads up about channelsurfing. It wasnt there at the start of the game

[falconfan1999]

Boo Boo Gates makes a nice tackle on the kickoff. He has played well on special teams tonight

saw the channelsurfing in another thread....

[falconfan1999]

Why can't we tackle? It's like some of our guys are playing with no arms....
