    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    Purvis Ellison!?! That's a name I haven't heard in years. I was born and raised in Memphis and was a huge Memphis State fan. I still hate Louisville to this day. HA!

    Did you guys know that Jay was recruited by ORU, took an official visit here, and thought seriously about signing with us? True story.

    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    Bingo! If someone isn't married and being out in front as a big FCA guy, then no biggie. That was my thing...if you're going to be like that, get a divorce and don't go around speaking at FCA events about how much you love the Lord.

    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    Let's just say that he was a big fan of the cheerleaders and co-eds. And, the feeling was mutual. I'll leave it at that.

    Bill Self started his coaching career at ORU. He was our head coach in the late 1990's. Got to know him fairly well. Will have to disagree on the "he's a good dude" comment. But, he's a great coach and motivator.

    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    Will do! I did have one question that I was curious about...I know you guys hate UNC, but wondered who is your second biggest rival/team you dislike? UVA? NC State? Someone else?

    I'd like to echo darrenj's comments. Really enjoyed the interaction with you lads and will be hoping Duke wins every game by 25+ the rest of the way, to make us look a little better! 👍

    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    I must say, when I first saw our match up, I anticipated coming here and seeing a lot of folks full of themselves and looking down their noses. But, I was completely wrong! I've really enjoyed reading your board and my preconceived notions of Duke fans was totally off base. Will definitley be...

    I understand that Duke isn't known for its' academic prowess, but your assumption is spot on, sir. 🤓 Dude...we're just happy to have a neutral court game against you guys and personally I'd be tickled pink to cover the 6.5 points.

    Tell me about Oral Roberts

    Greetings from the ORU Prayer Tower in God's Country (Tulsa, Oklahoma). I have just emerged from a 7 hour prayer vigil conversing with the Lord. He told me to call all you dirty little devils to repentance or suffer the furious vengance of His chosen team...THE ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY! Lo, if...

    Memphis is either bold or crazy

    Yeah. For the most part, Memphis "basketball" fans are a different breed than Memphis "football" fans. Growing up there, almost everyone was a Memphis basketball fan and a Rebel, Vol, or Hog football fan. And, as much as I hate to admit it, the whole Tubby thing just sucked. I like/defended...

    Memphis Game Thread

    Based on this game, the SMU game, and really all the games this year, TU doesn't have a talent issue. The talent is on par with the top teams in the AAC. Period. Give this team a legit coach and it's an 8-10 win team vying for the AAC West. For the life of me, I don't understand why Monty would...

    I don't take any pleasure in saying this, but there wasn't 17,000 on Saturday night. Maybe 10,000...tops. And, half of those left at halftime.
