Tulsa vs. Rice

[bri]

It's a beautiful night for Homecoming at Skelly Field, and it looks like the mighty 'Cane are wearing the red throwbacks again. These two teams may break the new scoreboard tonight. :D

[bri]

According to CBSC announcer Aaron Taylor, Tulsa's offense is a run-first, play-action based offense.

Um, no.

[birddog]

i've got tu -15. please keep me updated after td's, which will be every 30 seconds.

[bri]

TU receives the opening kickoff and have already driven out to midfield. God, I love this offense. :D

[JLEW1818]

I'm going for Rice just because you hate me.

[bri]

You flatter yourself, rando.

[StoopTroup]

Everything goes with rice.

[bri]

Brendan Marion dropped what would have been a 36-yard touchdown from national passing leader David Johnson, then TU goes for it on fourth down and doesn't get it. Rice ball at the Tulsa 31.

[bri]

Rice goes three-and-out; punt gives Tulsa the ball back at their own 12.

[StoopTroup]

What channel is it on?

[bri]

A.J. Whitmore scores on a QB keeper out of the "wildcat" formation to cap an 88-yard drive.

Tulsa - 7
Rice - 0

[bri]

What channel is it on?

CBS College - Cox digital 249

[StoopTroup]

Other than Cox?

[bri]

I don't know what channel # CBSC is in other cable systems. Check local listings. :D

I'm watching it online, myself.

[StoopTroup]

Well...that's a different deal all together right there.

I didn't see it anywhere from my provider...

I'm betting Cox made a special deal for that.

[bri]

It's a regular part of Cox's normal digital package, I think. It used to be CSTV before CBS bought 'em.

Rice has a nice little drive going, out near midfield...

[jdg]

Channel 613 on Direct tv

[CORNholio]

It's on dish ch no. 152

[smooth3d]

On ch. 613 on directv

[bri]

Rice gets a 2-yard run to tie the game up at 7, late 1st quarter.

[bri]

End of one:

Tulsa - 7
Rice - 7

TU has the ball, driving deep into Rice territory.

[smooth3d]

Tulsa 14 rice 7

[bri]

Rice brings a spastic all-out blitz, and Johnson burns them by hitting a wide open receiver. 14-7, Tulsa.

[tommieharris91]

Got a link for the online feed for this game?

It's pay-per-view, tho.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

There's some doofus that took the under on this game.

And is making himself look like a genius.

HURRICANE WARNING!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bri]

Tulsa just forced a fumble on a sack to stop a Rice drive. 'Cane ball, still leading 14-7.

[bri]

Rice misses a long field goal, still 14-7 Tulsa.

I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting way more offense tonight. :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

How 'bout that hurricane D?

Graham's got those boys flying around the ball. Best I've seen 'em look this year.

[bri]

And after more punts, Rice finally gets the tying score. 14-all, 3:06 left until halftime.

[bri]

Johnson to Johnson for a touchdown! 21-14, Hurricane with a buck-eighteen left in the first half.

[bluedogok]

The Rice coach that replaced the one who is now the TU coach was at (Southwest) Texas State. He took them to the I-AA playoffs a couple of years and they have since slipped back into mediocrity after he left. He could build himself a nice stepping stone out of there like the TU coach did.

[bri]

Tulsa has the ball at their own 33 with :17 and no timeouts. They'll probably still score. :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

HURRICANE HALFTIME WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bri]

Or not. Rice bats away a Hail Mary at the end of the half to keep it a 21-14 game in favor of Tulsa.

Rice gets the ball to start the second half.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Go to the restroom while there's still a chance! Before the Golden Storm Surge hits!

[tommieharris91]

The Golden Storm Surge will probably hit anyway.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Too late.

I didn't evacuate. Or maybe I did...

*dramatic music*

[bri]

I have no idea what just happened, but Tulsa scored on it. 28-14, Tulsa at the beginning of the 3rd. :D

[bri]

And TU follows that up by intercepting Rice to get the ball back near midfield. Gus and the boys could break this thing wide open right here.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I gotta get me one of those classic jerseys.

Very swanky.

[bri]

Johnson with another TD pass, and TU has a 35-14 lead now with 11:58 left in the 3rd quarter. :D

[bri]

I gotta get me one of those classic jerseys.

Very swanky.

Yeah, one of the crappy things about being a small school is Nike doesn't mass-produce TU gear. I'd like one of those bad boys, too. :(

[Tulsa_Fireman]

HURRICANE DEFENSE WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice stop!

[bri]

Rice drives down to the Hurricane 20, but then the defense holds them on four straight snaps to force a turnover on downs. TU ball.

[bri]

And David Johnson throws an interception to give Rice the ball back on the Tulsa 40.

Balls.

[birddog]

ttech gave me $50
osu got me $200

now i just need tulsa to get me $100 and the trifecta will be complete.

COME ON CANE!!

[bri]

James Casey does his Tim Tebow impersonation, throwing an ugly jump pass on a short yardage play to bring Rice within 35-21 with 6:21 left in the 3rd.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Ghey. So Ricetastically ghey.

Hurricane Cat 5's this drive for 6.

[bri]

Agreed, but I do chuckle every time they say "Thor package". :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Quit talking dirty, Thor.

[bri]

Hey baby, wanna see my Thor package?

[bri]

1st and 25 for the 'Cane, and David Johnson runs for 23. Nice. :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Swing that hammer, you Norse stud.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Jumbo and Thor struggle for a moment, but get the first down!

[Tulsa_Fireman]

AT WILL.

HURRICANE WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bri]

David Johnson's fourth touchdown pass of the night makes it 42-21 with 2:05 left in the third.

Hooray!

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Where was this madness, face-smashing badassery in the first half?

[bri]

I dunno, but I'm glad it's here now.

If the 'Cane keep this pace up, OU's gonna end up posting the lowest point total of the three state schools today. With 49 points. Un. Real.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

The real question is how TU gets Top 25 shunned again after tonight.

Granted it's Rice, but those boys are flying all over creation on both sides.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

BOOOOOOM!

[bri]

The real question is how TU gets Top 25 shunned again after tonight.

Granted it's Rice, but those boys are flying all over creation on both sides.

They may sneak in there, who knows? I know Stewart Mandell had them 25 last week, so they're gaining ground.

End of the 3rd, Tulsa leads 42-21. Rice will start the 4th punting from deep in their territory. :D

[KC//CRIMSON]

Dumbo is fighting over on CBS.

Thread Jack!

[Tulsa_Fireman]

HURRICANE TOUCHDOWN WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

Courtney Tenniel looks sharp, too. About time he found his wheels. He never quite backed the hype coming outta Glenpool.

[bri]

Looking at the Top 25, numbers 23 and 24 lost today, so there's a couple of slots open in the poll. :D

And Rice manages to successfully execute a punt, but A.J. Whitmore busts a long run out of the Wildcat to set up a short TD run by Courtney Tennial to make it 49-21, Tulsa.

[bri]

Tulsa forces another Rice turnover and has the ball at the Owls' 40.

TU's defense is playing lights-out tonight. :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Un-frickin'-stoppable. This is a Top 25 team. No doubt about it.

I'd take TU over State right now.

[bri]

Whitmore with his second TD run of the night, and OU is officially the lowest-scoring Oklahoma team today. :P

56-21, TU with 9:49 left in the game.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

HURRICANE WILDCAT WARNING

MEOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[GottaHavePride]

HURRICANE WILDCAT WARNING

MEOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For some reason, this post cracks me the hell up.

It may be the beer.

[bri]

Our Wildcat is unstoppable, while Rice's Thor package is flaccid and weak.

[BudSooner]

Rice has 85 yds total so far rushing, tulsa....OMG! 308!!!! :eek:

[Sooner98]

The amount of offense this state is producing this year is staggering.

[bri]

Rice moves around a little, scoring to make it 56-28.

[BudSooner]

The amount of hair gel Gumby is wearing this year is staggering.

A-greed!

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Respectable showing by the asian starch of preference.

[bri]

The amount of offense this state is producing this year is staggering.

I'm trying to think of another state that could come up with three Division I teams to match up against our 15-0 juggernaut, bitch. :D

[tommieharris91]

I'm trying to think of another state that could come up with three Division I teams to match up against our 15-0 juggernaut, bitch. :D

The state of Washington agrees.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

HURRICANE GUTSHOT ISO WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

[BudSooner]

Holy ****, TU is on the verge of hanging 80 on rice...**** YEAH!

[bri]

35-yard run for yet another Tulsa score. 63-28 with 5:54 left in the game.

In other news, #23 TU edged UAB in overtime today to win in men's soccer, 2-1. Thanks, CBSC ticker! :D

[birddog]

i'm a rich man!

[bri]

Rice fumbles the ensuing kickoff, and Tulsa recovers.

That's why they're Rice. :D

[bri]

BACKUP QUARTERBACK WARNING!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

;)

[bri]

Stupid sportsmanship, keeping us from ringing up 70. :D

And A.J. Whitmore is the Player of the Game with 5 carries for 83 yards and 2 touchdowns. Um, okay.

[bri]

And it's officially official, Tulsa wins Homecoming 63-28 to run their record to 5-0, 2-0 in C-USA play.

Wooty-woot!

[BudSooner]

I know it would never happen, but what if Tulsa and OU were the only unbeatens at seasons end. C-USA maybe the weaker conference but so is the Mountain West/WAC.

SUCK IT Pac 10. :D

I would love to see Tulsa take on suc...AND ROLL THEM!

[bri]

Dude, if the college football world imploded and OU and TU played for the title in Miami, I don't think the scoreboard at Dolphins Stadium could handle it. :D

I think we've started the season too far under the radar to crack the BCS, but it'd be nice to sneak into the Orange Bowl and destroy some sh*tty ACC team...

[Okla-homey]

Tulsa has outscored four consecutive opponents by over 50 points for the first time since the 1919 season when Woodrow Wilson occupied the White House.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Is Tu that good or their opponents just that bad so far?

[Okla-homey]

Is Tu that good or their opponents just that bad so far?


Honestly, its a combination of both.

Hmmmm, free shoes U....meh. Butch Davis and the Tarheels...I dig it but they are like TU too far under the radar at this point.
Virginia Tech? I doubt they want to play another team from this region there again after last year.
I would giggle like hell if somehow oregon played TU and we throttled them. :D

[bri]

Well, the Orange Bowl matches up the ACC champ against an at-large BCS-eligible team. So a rematch of the 1989 Independence Bowl between Tulsa and Oregon can't happen there. :D

[stoopified]

HURRICANE TOUCHDOWN WARNING

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

Courtney Tenniel looks sharp, too. About time he found his wheels. He never quite backed the hype coming outta Glenpool.Apparently you missed two years ago when he was the Tulsa leading rusher.He has battled injuries since and is a shadow of two seasons past.

[bri]

Apparently, Ball State > Tulsa. :mad:
