	Report Comment The ORIGINAL Adman, (11/21/2008 8:12:31 AM) Bill, I know you want to blame it OSU for not playing TU for 12 years, but the previous leadership in the Athletic Dept at TU was not the easiest group to work with, which is why they are no longer in charge, and everyone who's anyone knows that. But it is easy to make OSU the bad guy because we're not the underdogs, that's reserved for TU and ORU, and we're not the crown jewel, that's OU, because their SID offcie isn't afraid to throw around media accessibility to the football program along with a little positive reinforcement. And again, everyone who's anyone knows that, too.

	Report Comment cowboy no 1, (11/21/2008 10:04:36 AM) no to playing that little school on 15th street. Win lose or draw , all the benifits are on tu side. And gosh forbide they actually compete or win every decade. When they play more than a bunch of no names and actually have to compete more than once or twice a season, then let's talk.
	Report Comment sidster, Tulsa (11/21/2008 10:34:39 AM) Cowboy no 1, the last time i drove in Tulsa, that little school was not on 15th street. OSU is just like TU and every other team in the nation with their scheduling. Don't forget OSU plays the Jackson States' to. When I use to coach at Southeastern OK. State University, we played against OSU, which is division 2. So lets not act like this is the BCS. They play just like everyone else in the country, WEAK OPPONENTS! It's all about job security and you can say hey I had a winning season. That works when you're not at a Duke, NC, KU, etc.
	Report Comment ostatealum, (11/21/2008 10:38:21 AM) Benefits to TU aside. I am an OSU grad and huge fan, but that being said, the last time we played the little team from 15th street we lost by 18. That is not a fluke that is getting smoked. Oh and the last time we played the other little team from Tulsa (ORU) we got our ass whipped too, which was last year. Ford will turn this team around and we will see them in March, but all these teams in OK are very capable of beating each other on any given night. Yes and that means you too Sooner fans.
