@GoldenHurricast what’s the conversion rate of a win against OSU to conference wins? I need to to talk myself into feeling better about how bad we have looked in conference play
@GoldenHurricast@CoachTreLamb9 How does he plan on leveraging the more traditional recruiting strengths of Tulsa (academics, recent success as it pertains to putting guys in the league, etc) when competing with schools who have stronger NIL programs? Are there any plans to change TU’s approach to NIL?
@GoldenHurricast been thinking about the discussion about apathy with the football program this season and I think I have pinned down why I feel that way. It seems like there is no identity or brand with the two KW teams so far.
I can’t think of a single defining characteristic of either of the KW teams so far. We don’t even have a consistent starting QB to try and get behind or watch develop. We don’t play great defense. We don’t run the ball very well. QBs and WRs can’t build chemistry due to rotating.
Like the Monty teams weren’t all the greatest but his teams consistently established the run and then would air it out to keep defenses honest. Not sure on the stats but it felt like we consistently scored and that was enough to keep us intrigued even with the down seasons.
@GoldenHurricast The thing that keeps me from being excited about the recruiting is that any recruit that can add value to the program will hop in the portal to go to a more competitive team after a season like this.
@GoldenHurricast The comment that got me as their lack of an ability to understand how you can have defensive holding and intentional grounding on the same play.
@GoldenHurricast Looking forward to hearing the discussion this week, I know it’s not easy to cover seasons like this. Maybe things will turn around on the back half of the season and this will all feel like a distant memory. Back to back losses like this hurt though.
@GoldenHurricast If the administration feels comfortable waiting five years to become bowl eligible again then letting Monty go makes even less sense. I’m not saying TU is a super prestigious program with a precedent of bowl game success but Blank and Monty both had bowl wins within two years.
