M00N was a Brady Hoke-coached Michigan/Northwestern 0-0 halftime that featured non-contact turnovers and the game ending with a QB falling on his ass untouched.
This is the most active hurricane season in recorded history in the Atlantic.
Tulsa is the Golden Hurricane.
Miami are the Hurricanes.
Combined they're 10-2.
And Tulsa's got this.
Coincidence?
I watched the entire fourth quarter and OT. Tremendous. Very exciting. Two quality football teams (though they might not have looked so in the scoreless first half, which I did not see).
Tulsa made big plays when it needed to.
Congrats to both teams for repping the American nicely.

And you are a "Cyniclone", which sounds like a "Cyclone", eh?

I am not a Tulane fan, but live near New Orleans so am partial to them. Tulane is 5-5 but arguably should be 8-2. The two games they blew vs Navy and now Tulsa are pretty mind-boggling. In both games they had a greater than 99% chance to win in the second half. Heck, Tulane had a 99.1% chance to win with one play left in regulation yesterday.
Toss in the OT loss to SMU, and it is a sad pattern for them.

Agree. Tulane is much better than its 5-5 record indicates. A solid football team that has struggled to close games.
Tulsa is very good. Not sure "Top 25-ish good." BUT, that team knows how to win. And that's worth a lot.

They were able to win a close game against South Alabama earlier this season, taking their first lead with 3:18 left in the game to win 27-24. Too bad the pattern you mention started after their game with South Alabama.

Except I'm not having Tulsa's fortune.
It's actually part of my name: Cynic + cyclone (I'm a nerd for hurricanes and big storms) = cyniclone. Thought it was clever, then one day when I went to buy a ticket from someone on another board and he used my screen name, I cringed so hard I needed a plunger to retrieve my face. Lesson learned: Sound things out loud before committing to them.

What impresses me about Tulane is the upgrade in athletes. When I attended the USF @ Tulane game in 2017, I had a sideline seat and was able to see the players up close. We had noticeably larger linemen, taller receivers, etc. We were just a level above in terms of physical specimens.
But when I see Tulane on TV now, they are beefed up. The lineman are larger, and in a quality sense, bigger frames, not fatter, the skills guys seem faster, etc. They don't seem to be at a physicality disadvantage like they were just a couple years ago.
