Liberty Bowl was the best.

CUSA West was so much fun.

No
Yes
Sometimes

Liberty Bowl berth 2013 after winning the whole ball of wax after vanquishing Tulane and Marshall (who’d pipped ECU) was epic. 10 win season but we smashed face first into one Dak Prescott who was able to pick us apart pretty good in aforementioned Liberty Bowl.

2008 Texas Bowl 10 win season Bailiff did it with KEN HATFIELD’s players (not Toad’s).

(Those guys were on the Hatfield scout team, halfway thru the ‘06 graham season they just kind of decided… we’re going to call our own plays and went from 1-5 to 7-5.)

But ‘08 Rice and Tulsa shared the West title at 7-1, h’canes got to play ECU cause of a silly tiebreaker and got pirated.

It’s been too long tulsa, are you still as lut as we remember?

More fun questions:

A. Serena Williams
B. Internet Realignment speculation guru and USF alum Jim Williams
C. Venus Williams
D. Paul Williams (American singer/songwriter)
E. Paul Williams (Australian Rules footballer; Collingwood/Sydney)
F. None of the Above



(This should be a poll!)

I love Rice fan. That was a pretty good game from what I remember.

Rice is our Rival. This is teh rivalry.

The game will be close. Rice has the best QB/WR combo in the league.

Wish I could make it but I rarely make it to Tulsa. I’ll go to Houston for it next year.

You are filling the void left by our departing UC frens minus the arrogance and stupidity of course

In place of arrogant I will try to be more haughty.

Condescending would also be satisfactory

Money whipping and big dogging about RICE fan elevated economic status is also welcome

RICE
Biggest Endowment in the Country (at least among non P4s and/or Ivy Leaguers)

Toppest academic rank BY FAR among that group. By any metric.

And we and our gazebo frens are the two SMALLEST PRIVATES in all of D1!!!

Tulsa’s be tinier tho.

From what I can tell, the entire University of Tulsa student population, including graduate and law school students, is about the number Richard Dean reported in the. Chronicle.

Here's the numbers from TU's website.

3,769 (2,647 undergraduate and 1,122 graduate/law)
