"Disappointing Bowl Destination and Opponent"

[VDub26Falcon]

I thought Tulsa was in Louisiana...hence the Hurricane name...that would make the most sense, more than Texas or Oklahoma anyways.

Uhhh.... sure you're not thinking about Tulane?

[h2oville rocket]

As tempted as I am to step in with comments about a BG education in geography I won't. Chimey will no doubt bemoan the fact that BG lets anybody graduate when they don't know where Tulsa is, so I won't have to.

This looks like a pretty high powered matchup offensively. For one week I'll be a Falcon fa... a Falcon f-f-f-f ..Nope, can't say it. But good luck!

I thought Tulse was in Michigan. Don't we play UM next year?

I think if you judged any fan base by how they deal with a loss, you'd find the same bitterness and vitriol. Just go check the WVU board right now.


Plus, it'll be more fun when Tulsa loses to a so called "disappointing opponent".

This arrogant attitude from CUSA is why I and most people in Mobile pull for MAC teams. I put hotel info up for them, but that's all I'm doing. I wouldn't be suprised if they bring less than 1,000 fans. See UTEP a few years ago. GMAC folks should have gone with ECU. They would have brought 8,000+ fans

No wonder they had the number one offense, Columbus St Francis DeSales High School could achieve that with opponents like this.

I dunno about that St. Francis DeSales comment, but...

If the Falcons stay focused these next few weeks, Tulsa looks like a team they may be able to beat.

That's not a prediction. The point here is, Tulsa is not Rutgers or Michigan State -- or, for that matter, Central Florida. I like this matchup better.

Looking at that schedule... the Brigham Young win was a statement.

I don't see many other statements up there. I mean, giving up 39 points to Army? Giving up 43 points to Rice? A one-touchdown win at home with Marshall?

Overall, the impression is not intimidating.

I'm sure they are looking over our schedule, noting how many points we gave up to Eastern Michigan, wondering why in the world there is a university named Miami in Ohio, etc.

Fine. It will be a good game. I'm looking forward to this.

Screw Tulsa. Add them to a list of teams that dropped a home and home with BG after BG played at Tulsa. I think it was 88 or 89. I agree BYU was a statement game, but that was Sept 15th.

[Falcon137]

Impressive win over BYU

[TG1996]

I have full confidence that our offense will come out firing... with more wrinkles than a retirement home, keeping Tulsa on their toes. If our defense can come out and give even half the effort they gave in the UT game, I really like our chances.


ROLL ALONG!!

Well done.

or ours...

[redhawk95]

don't worry about tulsa. go have fun in mobile! wish we were going, but miami probably wouldn't have been "name" enough either, because of course everyone knows about the juggernaut that is the golden hurricane.
