After the historic win over Oklahoma State, Tulsa came back down to earth with Saturday’s loss to Tulane in the Battle of the Color-Based Water Phenomena. We do our best to break down the game (having not been able to watch it in its entirety) and talk what’s next for the football team this season.After that, we talk about some breaking news in the athletic department, look forward to Saturday’s road test at Memphis, and wrap it up by looking around campus at our other fall sports.

For the first time since November 3, 1951, Tulsa went into Stillwater and came away with a road win against Oklahoma State. That’s the kind of program-changing, culture-building win head coach Tre Lamb has been looking for in his first season. “New Tulsa” might be just be here after all.For the first time ever on the show, we bring in a guest to help us RECAP a Tulsa game! Phillip Slavin from the Ten12 Podcast and Ten12 Network joins us to break it all down. After that, we talk EVEN MORE Tulsa – OSU before welcoming in Jack Chasanoff from The Uptown Update to preview this Saturday’s home game vs Tulane at 3:00 central on ESPNU.We close things out by recapping all the other sports happening at TU right now, specifically the sad state of the men’s soccer program and the extremely not-sad state of the volleyball program, which is turning into a powerhouse before our eyes under head coach Lauren Ramatowski.

Tulsa forced 3 turnovers in Navy’s first 3 possessions to go up 14-0, but TU couldn’t keep up the momentum and the Navy train rolled right over us for the rest of the game.We discuss the awesome start from the defense, Baylor Hayes, the lack of a deep ball so far, and more before awarding our players of the game and taking a look around what continues to be an incredible start for The American.After that, we welcome in Calvin Alexander from The CGA Tour to help us preview this Friday’s game at Oklahoma State – a massive game for both programs.Also, Matt has a new article on Patreon about what a “successful” first season under Tre Lamb would be!

Tulsa Football followed a hot game 1 against Abilene Christian with a disappointing road performance at New Mexico State. However, as we discuss, you can definitely still find plenty of reasons for optimism going forward.Can the team get their swagger back in their American Conference opener at home vs Navy this Saturday? We will see.To learn more about this year’s Midshipmen, we welcome in Mike James from The Mid Report and the Navy Football Radio Network. Mike’s doing color commentary for Navy Football alongside Keenan Reynolds (yes that Keenan Reynolds), which is extremely cool. Always love talking with him.After previewing Navy, we round out the episode by digging into some absolutely incredible weeks from the other sports happening at TU right now, particularly by the volleyball team, women’s soccer team, and women’s golf team.
