Oddly enough, Tulsa is 2nd only to Rice in games played against UH. In a couple of years, Tulsa may take over.

1966 - (73-14) First blowout of the series.

1967 - (13-22) Houston is in the top 10 going into the last week of the season. Loses to Tulsa and drops UH from the polls (AP only ranks top 10 at the time).

1968 - (100-6) still bothers many Tulsa fans even though it was over 40 years ago and many fans weren't even born. Some say Tulsa players were sick. Some Yeoman ran it up as payback for 1967. Last 2 TDs were very unlikely. Future Country and Western legend Larry Gatlin enters the game as WR as opposed to his normal CB and scores the next to last TD. Last TD was on a punt return. Here's a nice write up and box score of the game.

1988 - (82-28) The Run & Shoot is unleashed. The 82 points is the most the UH R&S scores until meeting SMU in 1989.

2007 - (7-56) sticks in the craw of many UH fans. Story is that Art Briles was hanging out with Baylor power brokers that week instead of taking care of the Tulsa game plan. Game determined the division championship. Briles leaves later in the season to Baylor

2008 - (70-30) payback for 2007

2009 - (46-45) One of the best games of all time. Todd Graham is a hated coach in Houston and all UH fans believe he told his players to fake injuries throughout the game to try to slow the fast paced UH offense. Tulsa scores with 3:28 to play to go up 45-37. UH takes the ball 61 yards to score, but fails on the 2 point conversion. With 21 seconds left, UH gets the onside kick. They drive 27 yards setting up the freshman kicker for a 51 yard FG attempt. He buries it into the endzone facility leading to the legendary line from the UH announcer: "Graham, stick it in your pipe and smoke it!" Great highlight video on YouTube. Kick is at about the 7 minute mark. If you like homer calls by announcers, this one is very entertaining.

Close series with so many good games. Lots of blowouts though too.

HA! Thanks for the good laugh! I will not forget that game! The Cardiac Coogs def' had me worked up by the end of the game. While trying to jump up when he made that FG...I ended up on my arse on the dirty floor. Hell, some fraternity brothers still float that pic around every now and then. Good Times! 04-cheers

Go Coogs!

RE: Houston-Tulsa rivalry
Probably the best pre-existing "rivalry" in the entire conference (Cincy Memphis is a good one as well but neither of those teams have quite the history of success that Tulsa and Houston do.)

We really need a named game and a trophy for this game. I also thought it would be neat if there was some kind of little wager between the cities. Does Houston have any famous large-scale statues of people?

Definitely remember the 2009 game. I am glad we are back in a conference with Tulsa.

He was probably consoling his teammates at half time instead of listening to the coaches.

I was thinking it would be cool for both cities' statues to wear a large scale version of the winner's shirt for a day, ceremonially. If we could get the people at our state fairgrounds to go along with it we could do this...

If Houston won it would wear a UH shirt for a day if Tulsa won it would wear a TU Shirt. But, we would have to find something for Houston to that would be comparable.

That is Sam Houston the city’s namesake.

You might have to come up with another idea.

Texans can get a little passionate when it comes to their state icons.....

Just sayin, I do agree with you though a trophy of some sort should be in order especially with us not seeking to renew the Rice game anytime soon.

Lol, if there's one thing that annoys me above all else, it's a Texan's feeling of self importance. But, I guess that same confidence is also what makes you guys special. Anyways... it would be neat to have some sort of bet... preferably something that would happen on each other's campus. Just for media attention.

I don't think it would be too hard to make a trophy.... you could do a "Battle for the Pumpjack" or something stupid like that (Hopefully a little better)
