Tulsa became the first team in NCAA history with a 3,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers, and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. Evans was the passer. 🌀
That’s a wrap. I wanted to start giving more shine to the guys who left a real mark on TU and on this community, not just the box score, but the standard they set. I had a lot of fun putting this together. Hope y’all enjoy it as much as I did. 🌀

Texan boyfriend just explained that we aren't allowed to have an August-born child, because that child will be the youngest in their class and therefore, when they play sports, will be smaller than all the other kids and therefore will have a harder time.
Is this seriously the shit you guys think about? He's not joking either. I genuinely don't know what to do with this.
Planning kids around them playing football is so America-coded though lmao. 😂
“Last two years, all these guys feel is losing, around the program. It’s tough to overcome that. Moments like tonight make it feel like it’s possible… We beat them. Straight up.”

This is New Tulsa football.
On the other side, Saturday's season opener at Tulsa will be a homecoming for ACU head coach Keith Patterson.
The Oklahoma native coached for nearly two decades in the state, including 8 years coaching linebackers at TU.
Some big moments in his life happened at 11th & Harvard.
