    ATTN. Justin Moore: FIRE KONKOL!

    IMO, in today's world of NIL, you can't build a winning program going from 25 losses to go 15 losses and then bouncing back 15-20 losses. When it came to football, AD Moore made the bold move of triaging the damage quickly, after 2 years. I believe the same must be done for basketball. Hiring...

    Tulsa HS Football

    Any possibility Lamb might try and lure the most successful HS Coach in Oklahoma to his staff? TX

    TU Portal Players from 1980-2025

    Back in 1985, Carlton McKinney (SG) transferred to SMU when Nolan left for Arkansas. I'm sure Dave Bliss had some help from "friends of the program". He ended up becoming a 1st-team all SWC player. TX

    Official HC Speculation Thread

    I assume each Head Coach has direct input into how each player is paid from the NIL funds. I don't get how whatever allegedly happened between Legas and Wilson & staff would carry over to the next coach hire. IMO, such allegations is more of a blackmark on Wilson or however allegedly failed to...

    G5 realignment, playoffs

    I'm guessing you believe the FSU and Clemson lawsuits will be settled by July 2026? If FSU and Clemson do settle for a reasonable exit fees, do you believe the current value of the ACC media deal entirely hinges on FSU and Clemson membership so much that the conference implodes as it is unable...

    G5 realignment, playoffs

    I don't believe the ACC and Big XII will ever get left behind, they won't generate the revenue of the Big10/SEC, but they will still have the same access and opportunities to compete for playoff dollars. IMO, the horse left the barn when the NCAA lost control of college football. It seems like...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    Do you think Carson is on the same path as Upham when it comes to supporting successful athletics programs? Hiring his own permanent AD starts the clock imo. TX

    2024 Transfer Portal

    Yep, we've seen this movie before, small market baseball organizations developing talent for the large market (win now) organizations. Small market enjoy a few good/great years but the big markets get the majority of the prime years. Players are signed, developed, provided an opportunity to...

    Tulsa softball

    Poor defense lost this one, 5 unearned runs on 2 fundamental throwing errors lead to the 6 run outburst by WSU in the bottom of the 5th. Back in the 4th the 3B and SS colliding on a routine foul pop lead to another unearned run for WSU.

    Non Conference Mens Basketball

    Has TU ever had a schedule where only 1 OOC game was played outside the state of Oklahoma or any point during an 11-game stretch where they only played 1 game outside the state? Ha, this schedule will be easy on the travel budget. Maybe 1 short flight to Little Rock? TX

    SMU TO THE ACC STARTING 2024-25

    I am basing my argument off of living in the DFW for the past 23 years and seeing UNT's rise in student body population and alumni that remain in the DFW area. Also, while SMU clearly has the riches of donations, UNT receives equal media coverage to SMU, however neither gets the covrage of TCU...

    SMU TO THE ACC STARTING 2024-25

    That's true and apparently adding SMU and SDSU was not going to get the PAC-12 closer to the $40 mil they desired. TX

    SMU TO THE ACC STARTING 2024-25

    The TV Networks or media rights holders actually held the cards. I don't think Aresco ever had a chance at luring away any Big XII schools, there was still money to be paid and ESPN/Fox wasn't going to bump up 12 American schools earning $7m to $10 mil if they didn't have too. The value of those...

    SMU TO THE ACC STARTING 2024-25

    That doesn't seem too bad, I would expect TU to be on par with peer universities such as Tulane and Rice. TX

    SMU TO THE ACC STARTING 2024-25

    Where does TU fall, around $40m?
