The Golden Hurricast

Tulsa football has swept the OSUs thus far. Only one remains in D1 football: Ohio State. Bring on the Buckeyes.Ryan is back from pheasant hunting + a week long trip to Berlin, and we catch up on what was a big week in Tulsa sports. Football dominated Oregon State, men’s hoops is 3-1 and just lost a road nail-biter to Kansas State, and women’s hoops is undefeated.We talk about all of that, then wrap with a roundup of (almost) all the other active sports at TU.

There are only four games left in the football season and every game is a must win. Hosting solo this week Matt breaks down some of the stats behind the FAU matchup and why he thinks Tulsa can come out of the bye with a win.Additionally he looks at the basketball season opener and the other sports on campus.

Tulsa Football played its best game of the year on Homecoming, but came up just short against a very solid Temple team in dramatic overtime fashion. We talk about the choice to go for two, the play call, the Baylor <-> Brody connection, the growth of the team, and plenty more.After that, since we’ve got another bye week coming up, friend of the show J.J.
