Looks like we have a name and sponsor for our game against Oklahoma State. We will have played them 72 times this year. Arkansas is the only other team we've played that much. So I guess it works.

I thought this was gazebo related. Color me disappointed...

There is a turnpike in OK?

Oklahoma is the land of turnpikes. It has 606 miles of turnpike. 2nd only to FL in terms of mileage, and 2nd only to NH in terms of ration of toll mileage to total mileage.

Almost everyone of them is connected to tulsa (thanks okc). If i remember correctly okc has two and one is from tulsa to okc.

Should be a good game at the end of the month!

Actually, ECU does as well.

But does the Barrel o' Monkeys Bowl have an official sponsor too?

Oklahoma is home to the most outdated, rednecked, sister-******* toll roads in the USA. All I know is you better bring a huge bag of coins with you when you drive through Okie land or you will find yourself stuck on a ramp with no way to pay until you just decide to drive through... like I did.

The good news is, the hitching posts are updated and well-maintained in the social districts of downtown Tulsa so no complaints there.

I mean...we've played 98 games against LSU, and we were each other's first opponents in football. They call it the Battle for the Rag (because of a song of theirs called "Tiger Rag"), but we call it the Battle for the Flag (the original name as I understand it).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_the_Rag

We do. SMU vs. TCU - battle for the iron skillet. I think this season will be the 98th time we have played.

You haven't beaten Oklahoma State since 1998.

I would say being winless vs OK State for the past 20 years makes it cease to be a real rivalry. This is just a way to try and sell tickets to disinterested OK State fans who don't care about Tulsa.

I saw no notice I was on a toll-road until a sign appeared warning the booth was ahead. Exact change only!

The booth was unmanned. There was no change maker or credit card option.

So right now, how many of you have $1.15 in your pocket?? How many of you have more than $1 in change??

I was in a rental car and am now waiting for a ticket in the mail.

^^^Exact same thing happened to me. Retardville in Oklahomie.

In Kansas our unmanned toll booths actually take credit/debit cards. *GASP*

******* rednecks.

P.S. I still haven't received my ticket.

Big time party at the gazebo for this one

Some cute rivalries here.

Cincinnati is a part of the oldest non-conference rivalry in FBS football- the battle for the Victory Bell against Miami (OH). The two schools have met 121 times.

Cincinnati has won the last 11 match-ups but thanks to Tuberville their past 3 victories have been by no more than a touchdown each game.
