Oklahoma State and Texas seem to be headed in different directions. Both teams have a bye week and will meet at 7 p.m. (on ABC TV) on October 27 in Stillwater. Texas (4-0 in the Big 12, 6-1 overall) beat Baylor last weekend while OSU (1-3 in the Big 12, 4-3 overall) fell to Kansas…
After what looked like three good quarters of football, the University of Tulsa offense went cold and South Florida came from behind to beat the Golden Hurricane, 25-24, Friday night in front of 16,142 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium. Tulsa (1-5, 0-3 AAC) scored a touchdown and a field goal in the first half, and…
Tulsa will try to get back on the winning track when the Golden Hurricane host red-hot South Florida at 6 p.m. Friday night. TU (1-4, 0-2 in the American Athletic Conference) had a 26-17 lead over Houston with 13 minutes to go in the game last Thursday when the Cougars rallied and scored 24 points…
This week is a hodge-podge of sports news and views. By the way, does anyone even say “hodge-podge” any more? The University of Tulsa played at Houston last Thursday night, and things didn’t go the way of the Golden Hurricane, once again. TU was leading 26-17 with 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but…
Oklahoma State (4-2, 1-2 in the Big 12) badly needs a win over Kansas State (2-4, 0-3) Saturday to keep any hopes alive to make the Big 12 championship game. The chances fell dramatically Saturday as the Cowboys fell to Iowa State, 42-48, in Stillwater. That’s the second conference game that OSU has lost at…
Is No. 7 Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray as good as – or even better – than former OU quarterback Baker Mayfield? Murray, who is in top speculations on a Heisman winner, is being compared to Mayfield, the Heisman winner who was the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft and is now the starting quarterback…
Oklahoma State quarterback Taylor Cornelius is playing at a high level as the Cowboys battle for a shot at the Big 12 Championship. Cornelius is No. 5 in the nation with 1,541 passing yards. He is hitting 62 percent of his passes and has thrown 12 touchdown passes (5 interceptions). His quarterback rating is 161.7…
A couple weeks ago, my son and I went to the first National Hockey League preseason game to be held at the BOK Center. It was also the first NHL preseason game in Tulsa in 40 years. The Florida Panthers won the game in overtime, 4-3. I thought the turnout was fantastic, as 11,235 fans…
OU linebackers set a new record in number of tackles NORMAN – In a shootout with Baylor last year, OU running back Trey Sermon rushed for 148 yards as the No. 3 Sooners survived, 49-41. Now, with Sermon solidified as the No. 1 running, No. 5 Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0 in the Big 12) will get…
There are at least two reasons why No. 21 Oklahoma State should be motivated to play Kansas Saturday. First, the Cowboys lost their conference opener to Texas Tech, 17-41, last Saturday and that was a critical home game. And secondly, Kansas has already won twice as many games as they did last year. Actually, the…
