And the play or two he played someone else, he played Fuller instead of Braxton. Seniority?

That will be the end of mine and a lot of other peoples TU support.
Just glad they got the one and it didn't cost the losing team's coach his job.
Anyone still believe Monty should be allowed to continue to damage this program, especially when there are zero negatives from finally firing him?
You still don't get that virtually no one wanted to keep him. Density of osmium.
Even the cheer parents were leaving early tonight. You don’t see that very often.
From the look inside the stadium last night, a lot of people have already made that decision..
There were more people in tbe beer lines than were seated in my section..
At least our turncoat CBs are getting torched at Missouri
We are in a very bad spot, there is only one correct answer and if we don't hurry up we won't have to worry about which conferences, we'll be worried about keeping a team.
90% of the crowd you saw and 75% of the crowd you didn't wouldn't just be done with the coach like they are now. They would literally be done with the program.
You fire Monty and you immediately will see ticket sales jump for the remaining games and some improvement in attendance.
Doesn't matter who you name interim, the missing want to see that the program matters. The problem is the administration is clearly telling us it doesn't. Other schools, our conference, other conferences see it too.
Rice is in a terrible position because of this sort of apathy, we avoided it last time based on what we showed was important. We are likely to find ourselves in with the Rices of the world very soon.
I headed out to the game and on the way saw stadium lights from one of the HS north of Tulsa and ended up at the HS game. Turns out it was a great decision.
Stop with the sky is falling hysterics. They don’t end football programs when you have a bad coach, they end that coach’s employment. The program will recover.
Yeah, that's not working out so well for them and the coach that went to Mizzou.
Fans calling for the new DC to have been fired at halftime. Sounds familiar, lol.
I disagree...
You put a team that wins by 40 pts on the field and people will show up.. there will be those that think they have scruples that will stay away for a season.. but they will return.. just like people returned to the nfl..
This is the first year that a don’t have a high school student. On one hand, I don’t have to try to make two games on the same Friday night but it would have been nice to be able to leave at halftime last night.
I’m headed to the KISS concert tonight myself. Gotta see those old bastards one last time.
I’ll be there as well. Stones last Sunday and Kiss tonight is a pretty good concert week.
If you see an a-hole in a Tom Petty “Damn the Torpedoes” t-shirt, I’ll buy the Babe a beer!
RIP Thomas Earl Petty
Rice still has a program I guess.............stuck in a terrible conference, with a terrible tv deal, losing double digit games most years, but they do have a much better endowment.
I realize this is kind of hard for some to see, but we are at an inflection point very similar to the FBS/FCS split. Right now teams are being divided into haves and have nots, it's what us joining the AAC was all about. We are watching programs we were competing with leave us behind and ones who were far behind us catching up. We are a small alumni base that needs 20k in the stands to be a viable program with a good media deal. There isn't 20k in our stadium or even waiting for a coaching change and our media deal is about to drastically change. If the AAC is put in a position of being dissolved (a real possibility but not a guarentee) we are on the outside looking in everywhere. That's not a real positive place for our 125 year old program to be.
This is why keeping him this year, especially after the FCS loss was an awful decision. Why allowing him to continue to tank us is a bad idea and why a lot more people should be concerned with this then are.
He must have went back to Baylor to coach tonight , they have 6 rushing yards against Oklahoma State at half
On the bright side, UCF, Tulane, and Memphis all lost to AAC cellar dwellers today.
Ole Miss who blew out Tulane got blown out by Bama. Arkansas got skull dragged by Georgia. Oregon lost to Stanford.
College football is a wild ride this season, and we're not the only ones getting slammed.

Feels like the magnitude of losing right now carries more weight than it has in the past due to conference realignment. And that's probably just my paranoia as a Tulsa fan fearing the worst-case scenario of being relegated into football obscurity... I saw that Colorado State and Air Force were going to join the AAC but then backed down a couple days later after being harangued by their conference mates... If the MWC stays together and we only add cupcakes, we're gonna be wishing we Bowlsby instead of Aresco in this realignment game.
I agree the losing presently is not that big of a deal when conferences are evaluating programs.
The issue is what we are doing about it and where we compare to our peers in administration support/expectation and resources/facilities.
We can't lose, not care, have no one show up, be behind (mostly because we are small not because we are 'spending less') budgets and at the back of facilities.
Firing a bad coach, who is destroying your support, and which has no reputational or economic draw back at least shows you're paying attention and there is a standard.
Keeping a coach who can bring zero positives, is currently hurting the program, and has little potential as a long term future coach with a high risk of doing more damage says we don't care.
The way I see it.. we fired coaches with legitimate ties to the University for underperforming. Those moves risked alienating large portions of the fanbase. Why are we delaying in the termination of this clown's contract when he is neither a favorite son or a popular coach.
People are hung up on last year's performance and fail to see that Covid was our MVP. Not PM's leadership. Not Zaven Collins.
Absolutely, no counter or misdirection plays. This means the defense can tee off on the OLine. Not having a TE or having the RB chip the DE gives our QB no time in the pocket.
